Variously known as Sam Dust, LA Priest and L.A. Priest, Eastgate has built a reputation as a subversive, unpredictable musician, consistently innovating over the course of his work with his now defunct breakout band Late Of The Pier, his cherished Soft Hair collaboration with Connan Mockasin as well as his solo work under LA Priest. As well as releasing his acclaimed album Fase Luna (2023) which was labelled by MOJO as “a loose, hazy treat”, he also completed a successful string of UK and EU dates plus supported BRIT award-winners Jungle, aka electronic producers J Lloyd and Tom McFarland, on their EU and US tour.
