Bio
The Beast and the Priest... A new power trio hitting the music scene with an exciting new sound. The Beast and the Priest humbly entered the vast wasteland of the music industry early 2008, armed with original songs and a passion for playing music -- and playing it well!
While the band experiment with new sounds - incorporating folk, jazz, rock and metal - there is always a soulful, bluesy edge, giving them an expressive, raw feel that can always be considered pure ear sex!
Gaz's technical ability as a guitarist is amazing as he demonstrates lightning-fast riffs, dirty bends, intense squeals and an extensive knowledge of the neck.
Tomâs drumming never fails to amaze people, with his wild technique and powerful presence, even from behind the kit. His sheer passion on stage can be felt as he delivers every drum fill he has and more, driving the Beast through its vast tour of the genres.
Dan, whose bass lines grab both ends of the soundscape and pull it together, is often referred to as "a sensible mind amongst the madness". With well constructed melodies and a real love for the instrument, Dan helps to keep the band all on the same page.
The lyrics often discuss young life, politics, depression, relationships and idealism. The band takes their influences from pretty much anyone who has ever played music and they love both old and new music.
