August 7, 2010, Eraserheads Night
Place: Saguijo Cafe and Bar, Makati City

Naaalala niyo pa ba
Binigyan namin kayo ng ligaya
Ilang taon na ring lumipas
Mga kulay ng mundo ay kumupas

Marami na rin ang mga pagbabago
Di maiiwasan pagkat tayo ay tao lamang
Mapapatawad mo ba ako
Kung hindi ko sinunod ang gusto mo

La la la la la la la la…

Pinilit kong iahon ka
Ngunit ayaw mo namang sumama

Ito ay para sa mga masa
Sa lahat ng binaon ng sistema
Sa lahat ng aming nakabarkada
Sa lahat ng mahilig sa labsong at drama
Sa lahat ng di marunong bumasa
Sa lahat ng may problema sa skwela
Sa lahat ng fans ni sharon cuneta
Sa lahat ng may problema sa pera
Sa lahat ng masa

Huwag mong hayaang ganito
Bigyan ang sarili ng respeto

But now, I just found out from Ricky Lo, Philstar.com, that the Eraserheads Reunion Concert will be shown in theaters starting November 26, 2008!

Now am I going to go out and see this movie?! You bet you ass I will :)

Here’s what I read:

If you were one of the 60,000 fans who, last Aug. 30, braved the traffic and stood at the The Fort Bonifacio Open Field for hours, all for the love of the Eraserheads who were staging their reunion concert, then you should watch the filmed coverage of the event which will be shown in theaters in Metro Manila and Cebu starting Wednesday, Nov. 26. Who knows, the cameras might have caught you and your companions swooning.

Presented by Smart Buddy, Eraserheads Reunion Concert The Movie captures the highlights of the much-awaited event rudely interrupted when vocalist Ely Buendia suffered chest pains and breathing difficulty during the intermission: The state-of-the-art sounds and lights, the magnificent fireworks display, the E-Heads hits performed on a stage that cost P40-million to build and, most important of all, the happy-turned-sad faces of E-Heads fans who reacted to the announcement of the concert being cut short not with disapproval but with quiet prayer.

More than a reunion, the concert healed the rift among the four estranged members, also including Raimund Marasigan, Buddy Zabala and Marcus Adoro. Due to protests against the cigaret company sponsoring it lodged with the Department of Health, the concert almost didn’t happen, but thanks to Francis Lumen’s company and SonyBMG (which is releasing the soundtrack) which saved the day for E-Heads fans.

Asked in a recent interview if they’re going to hold another reunion concert, Ely Buendia said, “It is possible.”

Meanwhile, enjoy the movie.

And now in relation to that memorable event Sony BMG Philippines will be releasing the newest album of the Eraserheads come November 3, 2008! The album is titled, ERASERHEADS The Reunion Concert.

TICKET PRICE: Php 1, 500 Php 800, and Php 1,300
Tickets will be available at all Ticketworld outlet (check out their website for more information)

See you all there Eraserheads fans!

You’ve probably wondering why Pinoybanda.com have not even released any news about it considering that it is what this website is suppose to inform its readers – the pinoy bands news.

Well, I just want to be 100% sure about all the facts that will be published here, hence the delay. Even as of this writing, believe or not, there facts about the Eraserheads concert is still a blur and not 100% correct. (The ‘Sponsor’ of the event has not even surfaced yet). Even the concert ticket that is being circulated in the blog world apparently is not the official one and rumor has it that the original date of release of all the flyers and info material (including the tickets etc) is today, August 1, 2008.

But since everyone is asking about it and searching for information, we’ll post those that are most certainly true.

What:
The Eraserheads (Ely Buendia, Buddy Zabala, Marcus Adoro and Raimund Marasigan) will be performing for one night together. A one night reunion concert if you will

When:
August 30, 2008

Where:
CCP Open Grounds

There info came from Ely Buendia himself from one of the News interview he did on GMA 7.

A fellow blogger featured the former lead guitarist of the legendary band ‘The Eraserheads’. On this blog post he review Markus’ latest album “BEHOLD, REJOICE, SURFERNANDO IS HEAR NAH!”

Here’s an excerpt:

Ever since the sudden defunct Eraserheads decided to renounce their impact in our Philippine Music scene about 5 years ago, my optimism regarding their reunion slowly began to go downhill. It was in 2003 that the Eraserheads tried bit by bit to pretend that nothing tragic had happened. It’s like Ely Buendia sneaked out to ask permission from the 3 other eraser head that he was just forecasting to go on a vacation.
