    048: Katie Alice Greer

    048: Katie Alice Greer

    Katie Alice Greer was born to a minister in Michigan, where she spent her childhood feeling lonely, getting herself grounded and discovering Jock Jams compilations and Motown music. She's now the lead vocalist of Priests, a D.C.-based punk band that's made a name for itself in music and political spheres alike. Spin recently dubbed Priests "activist rock," but Greer says they didn't set out to be an explicitly political band, it just kind of happened. "Music is inherently political, everything is political," Greer told Paula Mejia of Rolling Stone on the heels of the D.C. event she'd helped organize on Inauguration Day, called "No Thanks: A Night of Anti-Fascist Sounds."

    This week's episode of Oh Boy, a conversation between Greer and our host Jay Buim, comes at an interesting time. While a lot of us are quietly navigating the clashing of culture and politics, Greer is doing so on a very public stage. On purpose. Give it a listen to hear her tell Jay how, when and why it all started.

As good as Cam’ron’s pink fur look

I love hearing women tell their stories and show their full personhood. Someone that has a hometown, traveled the world, didn’t know what to do, joined a band, made a video, somehow got the job, created the company. It shows there’s so much in life to go after intentionally and stumble upon accidentally.

I prefer Jay’s interviews over Leandra’s. Some might be put off on how fast he can interrupt with a question but he does it the same exact speed as the question pops into my head. It’s like he reads my mind in what I want to know too.

A true podcast gem worth infinite episodes. I’d listen to them all.
