Formed in 2012, they are composed of Katie Alice Greer (vocals), Daniele Daniele (drums), Taylor Mulitz (bass), and G.L. Jaguar (guitar). Strong proponents of DIY ethic, Priests have autonomously released three EPs through their independently run label Sister Polygon Records, as well as tapes and singles from acts such as Downtown Boys, Snail Mail, Shady Hawkins, and other local D.C. bands. In an interview with the Diamondback, guitarist G.L. expressed their commitment to "do it yourself" approaches in creating exposure for corporately marginalized music, "It's important to try and make safe and supportive art spaces in communities that are very much community oriented." In 2017, Priests released their full length debut LP Nothing Feels Natural which found itself on several best albums of 2017 lists including Billboard, NPR, the Atlantic, and Pitchfork. On inauguration day, just days before the release of the album, the band played an event which they helped organize called NO: A Night of Anti-Fascist Sound Resistance in the Capital of the USA at Black Cat nightclub. Rolling Stone magazine described the band as "forging jagged incantations that challenge norms ranging from the driving forces of capitalism to punk's own chest-beating macho traditions."
Good Time Charlie
Priests Lyrics
Like all great pornography, this story is touching
It's somethin' that I wanna see
(Black and gold tile, champagne flute)
Good time Charlie
(Sauna water dirtying the birthday suits)
(Sauna water dirtying the birthday suits)
Charlie says, "Turn up that TV, there's somethin' I wanna see"
In Vegas, the topless genuflect in the jacuzzi
(Five o'clock shadow, desert landscape)
Good time Charlie
(The party politician has a hero's face)
(Fight the red army, save the human race)
Congressman and goldenrod
Will weaponize the forgotten
Because they say we worship the same god
He's an implacable machine
Got a woman naked on the mezzanine
A lady in waitin' but Charlie, the mujahideen
And Joanne, your queen
Good time Charlie
(Helen of Troy, your helicopter lands)
(An honor is to serve at your command)
Congressman and goldenrod
Will weaponize the forgotten
Because they say we worship the same god
Congressman and goldenrod
Will weaponize the forgotten
Because they say we worship the same god
The same god
Years from now, he's gonna be
Half-drunk in this office on fine whiskey
Do you cry for Joanna or Afghanistan, Charlie?
Contrition is a great American, Charlie
Congressman and goldenrod
Will weaponize the forgotten
Because they say we worship the same god
Congressman and goldenrod
Will weaponize the forgotten
Because they say we worship the same god
The same god
Good versus evil of stories we tell
We're the only ones who never, ever go to hell
It's not the kind of stock and trade we sell
The Hollywood and entertaining kinds of pell-mell
The Hollywood and entertaining kinds of pell-mell
The Hollywood and entertaining kinds of pell-mell
The Hollywood and entertaining kinds of pell-mell
It's somethin' that I wanna see
(Black and gold tile, champagne flute)
Good time Charlie
(Sauna water dirtying the birthday suits)
(Sauna water dirtying the birthday suits)
Charlie says, "Turn up that TV, there's somethin' I wanna see"
In Vegas, the topless genuflect in the jacuzzi
(Five o'clock shadow, desert landscape)
Good time Charlie
(Fight the red army, save the human race)
Congressman and goldenrod
Will weaponize the forgotten
Because they say we worship the same god
He's an implacable machine
Got a woman naked on the mezzanine
A lady in waitin' but Charlie, the mujahideen
And Joanne, your queen
Good time Charlie
(Helen of Troy, your helicopter lands)
(An honor is to serve at your command)
Congressman and goldenrod
Will weaponize the forgotten
Because they say we worship the same god
Congressman and goldenrod
Will weaponize the forgotten
Because they say we worship the same god
The same god
Years from now, he's gonna be
Half-drunk in this office on fine whiskey
Do you cry for Joanna or Afghanistan, Charlie?
Contrition is a great American, Charlie
Congressman and goldenrod

It's not the kind of stock and trade we sell
The Hollywood and entertaining kinds of pell-mell
The Hollywood and entertaining kinds of pell-mell
The Hollywood and entertaining kinds of pell-mell
The Hollywood and entertaining kinds of pell-mell
