Just last Saturday, October 24, Ely Buendia has returned to performing live again just like Superman. He performed live of course with his band, Pupil in Eat Bulaga. After performing “Disconnection Notice” with Pupil, he sang “Superproxy” with Francis M. It was also Francis M.’s first TV performance after recovering from his illness. Both of the OPM icons were very happy that they are back in the live scene again. They even hugged each other after doing “Superproxy”. Read the rest of this entry »

There’s a special treat for people who are dying to have the Sony Ericson W902 as a gift this Christmas. For every purchase of the Sony Ericson W902, you’ll be able to get the Eraserheads Reunion Concert CD as well. This isn’t bootleg dude, it’s the original. Here’s the original article by Scott R. Garceau from the Philippine Star. Read the rest of this entry »

Marcus Adoro, the guitarist of the defunct Eraserheads, probably is the most silent member of the group. He’s really the silent type ( only on tv appearances) but in real life he’s really a cool ( as in macoolet hehe) guy. Thank you for the VIP passes Marcus. Here are some of his live performances. Enjoy
( Marcus still with Itchyworms, this time singing “Wala”. A song Marcus composed when he was still with the Eheads from the album Natin99)

Eraserheads fever isn’t over yet. There are quite some things that came up after the Eraserheads reunion concert so as Eraserheads fans we have to watch out for these. It’s really imperative that we have these things so I won’t stall anymore :).
First of all, there will be a reunion concert audio CD that will be released by the end of this year. Sancho confirms it on his email through the Circus Mailing list. Here it goes: Read the rest of this entry »
The Eraserheads now has an official YouTube Channel. You can see their official videos there and also some excerpts during the Eraserheads Reunion concert.
By the way, speaking of YouTube, here’s the spoof of Michael V. in Bubble Gang entitled: Hala Pack up. They’re spoofing Alapaap. It’s really one hell of a laugh.

I know it’s been weeks after the Eraserheads concert but I will want to do a wrap up. Until now I still have a hangover with these guys.
After the reunion concert, the Eheads Mailing list was flooded with tons of messages everyday. Actually until now, it still floods with messages. I would get 300+ unread messages everyday. Of course I wouldn’t read all of them, I try to cherry pick the topics that I want to read. So here are some of the cherry picked topics I will discuss here
So how is Ely Buendia doing?
Ely Buendia narrates to Manila Bulletinon what he felt while he was performing onstage:
“Towards the last song of the first set, I was already
feeling chest pains. Nung matapos, parang hindi na ako makahinga.
Kaya umupo ako. When we reached backstage, I was asking for oxygen
already kasi nahirapan na talaga ako huminga.”
He’s doing fine now. In fact he was already out of the Philippine Heart Center last Sept 5. His heart is 100% functioning now. He had just had his 3rd angioplasty. So all he has to do now is to rest for a few months just to be in shape. Ely’s manager, Day Cabuhat had photos of him while being released in the hospital.

HOT OFF THE PRESS! Here’s a message from Raymund Marasigan thanking the fans who came last night and a PROMISE! ( from the Cambio Mailing list)
dear everybody
before anything. i just spoke to day cabuhat. and she informed me that
ely’s condition is now stable. and they’re very thankful for all your
concern.
thank you very much for coming t the show. we really felt the cheering
and the singing and the love you all gave.
thank you for understanding that the show had to be cut short.
ely was in no condition (emotionally, physically) to play but he did.
and he gave it his all which is more than we could ask from him. given
the circumstances he was in.
we all wish him well. we are all confident that he will recover soon.
i promise to give you another eraserheads show as soon as possible.
<<UPDATED>> AFTER THE GIG, THERE WAS AN INFORMAL PARTY IN SAGUIJO CAFE ( IN GUIJO ST, MAKATI). FIRST WHO ARRIVED WAS RAYMUND THEN BUDDY AND MARCUS CAME IN LAST. SOME OF THEIR BAND FRIENDS WERE WITH THEM. THEY PERFORMED MINSAN, MAGASIN, SPOLIARIUM, PARE KO AND ANG HULING EL BIMBO ( SONGS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE 2ND SET)
For the people who know me, you all know that the Eraserheads has been an important part of my life and I will never ever let this pass. You all know how I profess my love for this band. And now here is a blow by blow account of my experience there and also some juicy news
I prepared all the gig paraphernalia I need for an open air concert: a malong ( to serve as our mat while waiting for the show to start), alcohol ( you know, for hygenic purposes), tissue, towel and caps. About 3:00 pm we’re already at the MRT Ayala station going to the Fort bus, fans were already lining up to take the bus. Karla and I arrived the Fort area at 3:30 pm. There are already signs around the area giving directions to where the show will be held.

<<UPDATED: CONCERT VENUE… PIX FROM MARCUS ADORO >>
Because of my thirst to get firsthand news about the Eraserheads concert details ( and of course blog about it) over the internet, I immediately went to Netopia Farmers because my freakin computer has a spyware on it. Everybody is curious as to how to avail the tickets and how much will it be. To those who don’t know yet, the concert is not free anymore because of the dementors being against it. Phillip Morris pulled out as the organizer of the concert now it has been confirmed that Radiohead and Sony BMG Philippines are the sponsors and promoters of the event. As for the ticket prices, it will be sold through Ticketworld and the prices are as follows: Php 800 and Php 1300 ( this was as of this evening, August 27). Prices were lowered from Php 1300 and Php 2060. There will be a division at the Open Grounds at the Fort to differentiate the ticketholders. When news broke out that Ticketworld will be the ticket distributor, its website went down temporarily and was advised to buy the tickets through their outlets in SM and National Bookstore. Unfortunately, reservations are not allowed. Tickets are now available through Ticketworld outlets.
Marcus’ VIP list will still be honored according to him, and the official list will be released this afternoon. Shux, this is really scary! hehe. He’s just concerned about identity theft so IDs will still be presented.
UPDATE: I JUST GOT A CONFIRMATION EMAIL ABOUT MY VIP TICKET, IT’S REALLY, REALLY HERE! WOOHOO!
Yes, you are in Marcus’ VIP list for the concert. Yehey!
By the way, Marcus Adoro posted some pictures on his multiply site. Pix were grabbed from www.markushighway.multiply.com
