Holy Stoner Rock Batman - Priestess w/ Tiger Pride & Nashville Pussy @ The Roxy Oct 5


I had the glory of first seeing Priestess at the HMV conference in Toronto this past Sept promoting their album "Hello Master". (it hits stores Oct 17) These boys kicked it with the intensity of Black Sabbath & Kyuss...a sound we all know Natty ADORES! Very crazy to see them rockin it in a conference room filled with HMV execs! They even had their own groupies whom almost took out our president Humphrey with their crazy headbanging. Kickass!

I was VERY pleased to see them in more of their own element at the Roxy here in Saskatoon this past Thurs. The opening band, Pride Tiger, had the stylings of Clutch meeting Death From Above craziness on the drumkit. A perfect way to warm up the evening in my books. I'm disappointed that I didn't pick up an album of theirs at the show...
Priestess followed with a KILLER set which included a 5 minute drum solo that just kept giving! Concluding with the 10 minute jam to end all jams, these boys don't make me regret in the least that I've missed out on all the super sonic sounds I would've died to see back in the 70s. Descending & harmonizing guitar wanking with bass lines to make you groove, I don't think my head stopped banging all set!

I promised to make these boys big out West when I met them in T.O., so all of you NOW check them out!!

They were so bloody amazing, I didn't even STAY for Nashville Pussy!
