this is pretty frightening sounding

Great band, but they weren't signed to RCA -- their lead singer posts on a Montreal message board, and someone asked him about the Coolfer post, and he explicitly stated it was incorrect.

Nice shot of the horseshoe tavern, my favortie place in toronto!
They're playing the Bovine Sex Club on Halloween night?? whoa, that's a very bizarre venue and perfect for Halloween, I recommend you make the drive!
Cheers!

People are idiots. Seriously, I was at that Hold Steady show. This band is a complete joke. God I miss 1992-1996, when indie kids actually had, you know, taste.

Thanks for info, Matthew. I was sure they signed to RCA but will look into it and make a retraction if necessary.

Priestess is the real deal. Yeah, playing with the HoldSteady isn't the rigth crowd for them. They recently toured with Motorhead. But they're more like Ac/dc, Sabbath, Qotsa or something. The thing that makes the difference is these guys have huge huge catchy songs, cool frontman and a phenomenal drummer. I'll be there at Bowery this time.
