Priestess
is a Canadian hard rock band formed, in Montreal, Quebec in 2003 by
Mikey Heppner (vocals/guitar), Mike Dyball (bass), Vince Nudo
(vocals/drums), and Dan Watchorn (vocals/guitar).
Priestess was
formed in 2003. Mike Heppner was playing with The Dropouts at the time
when three of its members headed to New York to form The Stills. Left
on his own, Heppner formed a new band in the form of Priestess. In
2005, the band released their debut album, Hello Master. The release
was issued via Indica in Canada and on Ace Fu in the U.S. A major-label
recording contract with RCA followed in January 2006. North American
tour dates opening for Dinosaur Jr. followed that spring. Priestess
also toured with The Sword, Early Man and Diamond Nights in the spring
of 2006.
A remastered version of Hello Master arrived in June, and
additional shows with the Riverboat Gamblers and the Bronx coincided
with its release. Upon the album's re-release, tracks such as "Talk to
Her" and "Lay Down" also began finding airplay on mainstream rock
satellite stations such as Octane and Ink'd. On October 27, 2006,
Priestess joined Black Label Society and Black Stone Cherry's
already-in-progress tour which lasted until mid-December. Priestess
toured with Converge and Mastodon from January 26 - February 17, 2007.
The band toured Europe for their first time ever with thrash metal
pioneers Megadeth as a part of their "Tour Of Duty" tour in June of
2007.
