About Us

* A Fanlisting. *

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.
