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.

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.

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
