Priests play Pehrspace in LA June 20
Priests is a powerful quartet from Washington D.C. whose sounds are extremely powerful and unlike what you’ve heard before. Be sure to check them out on June 20 at the Pehrspace in Los Angeles!
The group will be going on tour this summer starting off in their hometown and traveling throughout the nation from there.
The OC Concert Guide had the opportunity to speak with Priests regarding their name origin, upcoming summer tour and latest LP.

Priests: Our genre is “world domination”
OCCG: What has been your biggest achievement as musicians thus far and what do you hope to accomplish in the long run?
Priests: Biggest accomplishment performing at the Grammys last year
OCCG: What do you want your fans to gain out of your latest EP?
