Here’s what we read at GMA News:

Ely Buendia, Marcus Adoro, and Buddy Zabala graced the premiere night of Eraserheads Reunion Concert: The Movie held last November 24 at SM Megamall. The former members of the Eraserheads—minus Raimund Marasigan—were there to watch the first public screening of the concert turned movie, which is now currently being screened in SM cinemas nationwide.

The entertainment press asked Ely to give his reaction to the fact that their August 30 concert will now be shown on the big screen for the benefit of those who were not able to watch them perform at The Fort.

“Uhm, nabigla ako, e,” admits the current vocalist of the band Pupil. “Mabilisan, pero oo, ang daming naghihintay din ng movie.”

According to Sony-BMG, they got the idea to turn the concert into a movie about a month ago.

Ely expressed his excitement for the historic project. “It’s the first time na gagawin ‘to dito sa Pilipinas, so the band is very excited and we’re very proud and we’re very happy that Sony-BMG thought of this. I hope everyone will have fun and enjoy the movie.”

How does it feel to be watching himself on the big screen? “Siyempre mas relaxed ako ngayon. Wala masyadong pressure. Kumbaga part din ako ng audience ngayon,” he said.

Ely managed to crack jokes before the screening of Eraserheads Reunion Concert: The Movie. He and his former bandmates went up the stage to give a short talk to the audience. “I’m sure excited na kayong panoorin ang pelikula. Ako ang pinaka-excited kasi first time ko mapapanood ang concert. Late ako nun, e,” he jokes.
