Priests at 7th Street Entry, Minneapolis (26 Apr 2019)

Priests 2019 Tour Priests Setlist
|
Washington DC’s rock band Priests (not to be confused with the band The Priests) headlined the 7th Street Entry on Friday, April 26.
Opening up the show was German duo Gurr, featuring Andreya Casablanca and Laura Lee… both sharing vocal duties.
From my understanding of the German accent, I think they said that this was their first time in Minneapolis, and they were really excited to play such a historic venue. They wanted to do something special for this show, so Lee played the bass, while the bass player picked up the guitar. It’s clear that the Berlin-based group is just having a blast seeing America’s mid-West states. They seemed to really love Wisconsin, but was happy to “left the cheese behind.”
Highlight of their set, for me, was the great medley of Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl” with their song “Rollerskate”, played early in their set.
At the end of their set, they asked the audience to come closer to the stage for Casablanca to do her stage surfing possible.
Gurr’s EP She Says, featuring the new single “Fake News”, is out now (April 2019).
Priests took the stage slightly after 10pm, featuring drummer Daniele Daniele, vocalist Katie Alice Greer, and guitarist G.L. Jaguar. For their 2019 tour, they’re also joined on stage by live bassist Alexandra Tyson.
I’m glad I got a chance to finally see the group, having written about them since January 2017.
The show was kind of special, because it was Greer, who said that they were also in Minneapolis on April 27, 2018… so “Minneapolis is fast becoming my go-to place to celebrate my birthday.”
Greer also confessed that they were basically playing a lot of songs from their brand-new album The Seduction of Kansas (Sister Polygon Records) … but will be throwing in some old favorites as well (like “JJ”).
As you can see from their setlist, they basically played the entire album live, with the exception of two songs, “Ice Cream” and “Carol”.
