Access Restrictions: This media cannot be downloaded as there may be copyright restrictions. Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford has told Planet Rock there wouldn’t have been an American metal scene if it wasn’t for British bands.These guys are slimin out by recalling the orgasmic thrills of old Pebbles records with tons of fuzzed-out guitar and farfisa drenched organ rave ups. SV "THE LEVITES" REHEARSING AND SINGING "LOVE IS ALL WE NEED" THEN BREAKS INTO LAUGHTER THE PRIESTS Tall Tales (Get Hip) As long as bands like The Priests keep crawling out of the trash, stanky and seething garage rock will never be forgotten. MCU (Filipino) FATHER DINDO HILARIO SAYING "We always remind ourselves that even if we are band members, even in plainclothes, even during concerts, we are still priests, Saturdays and Sundays, and everyday of our lives we are priests." SV/CU FATHER DINDO HILARIO BEHIND BISHOP BLESSING CHILDREN (2 SHOTS) MCU (English) FATHER DENNIS SANTOS "Fishers of men we are, so one of our "nets" is what you call "music". SV/CU BAND MEMBER FATHER DENNIS SANTOS OFFICIATING AT A WEDDING CEREMONY (2 SHOTS) SV BAND MEMBER FATHER DINDO HILARIO SAYING PRAYERS FOR THE DEAD AT A FUNERAL (2 SHOTS) Now, it is doubtlessly a noteworthy fact that members of a band went on to become priests, as members of most bands are obliged to go on and do something different with their lives. SV BAND "THE LEVITES" REHEARSING, BAND SINGING "CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES" They say what we are doing is beyond what a priest should do". High energy sweaty sermons of misanthropy, disillusion (self) loathing and contempt. MCU (English) FATHER G-BOI SAMONTE "Some of the priests do not approve of our acts, they say what we are doing are too much. The most prolific band you aint heard of.

SV FATHER G-BOI SAMONTE, BAND MEMBER GIVING COMMUNION DURING MASS We try to fulfill this need by speaking what is appealing to them, by using a medium appealing to them." MCU (English) FATHER DANNY BERMUDO SAYING "The youth of today they have a lot distractions, mass media, printed literature, there are many distractions but basically the need for the spiritual is also there. SLV BAND MEMBER FATHER DENNIS SANTOS SINGING WITH STUDENTS Before people go to the church, now during these times the church must go to the people." MCU (English) FATHER DANNY BERMUDO SAYING "Times are changing. SLV NUNS SWAYING TO THE BEAT AND CLAPPING HANDS SV FATHER DENNIS SANTOS PLAYING ELECTRIC GUITAR LV ALL PRIEST BAND "THE LEVITES" PERFORMING ON-STAGE SINGING THE SONG "EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE" Title: PHILIPPINES: A ROCK BAND OF ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIESTS IS CAUSING A STIR IN THE PHILIPPINES.It's a testament to Priests that all of this didn't matter when they performed. Many seemed transfixed by Horse Lords, because the bands has chops, I assume, not because of their masterful, experimental musical miscegenation which matches Afro-beat with Krautrock ("This is like jazz but, like, not gay." That's my impression of most dudes there watching Horse Lords) and the closers were, well, who are Parquet Courts? Who cares? I left by then, because I was creeped out and uncomfortable and a friend was apparently crazy creeped on by some dude, so thanks. The music between sets was straight-up classic rock (seriously, The Who's 'Baba O'Riley' played) and it seemed like the cool-guy contingent of the Canton-through-Federal Hill douche corridor of the city were all there and I knew nobody there save for the people I came with, which is odd at show like this. Now, this wouldn't be a No-Trivia-leaves-the-house-and-goes-to-a-show column without some whining about the crowd, now would it? This crowd deserved it, though. The slacker chic of the '90s pervades, and while it was once a kind of revolutionary act almost 30 years ago to shrug and stare at your sneakers and not give a shit, it now seems, in its own way, as contrived as sex faces while you solo and all the rest of classic rock's tics, and some bands showing some ambition and ego would be refreshing. Now it's all pop music and rappity rappin' and stoopid dance music, no matter that EDM's laptop bros look and act like rock stars (straight down the line to their dirtbag misogyny) and that Kanye West is working with Paul McCartney right now, because yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, there are no rock bands anymore, which is just a way of saying there are no rock bands that make you feel comfortable listening to or looking at anymore because shit keeps changing. And by that point, your bro'll have dozed off because he didn't actually want an answer to that question, he just wanted you to nod and agree because of course, there aren't any rock bands anymore, let alone rock stars.
