Eraserheads' 2nd reunion gig set for March 7

MANILA, Philippines – The Eraserheads will do a second reunion concert on March 7, either Bonifacio Global City open field or the the Mall of Asia grounds, according to MTV Philippines marketing director, Ronald Esguerra.

"We guarantee a whole concert this time," Esguerra said in a interview aired on Friday over "News on Cue," QTV's late evening newscast. "Fit na si Ely [Buendia, the bandleader]."

The first reunion concert, staged Aug. 30, 2008, at the Bonifacio Global City, had to be cut halfway through, because Buendia, the band's 38-year-old guitarist and lead singer, suffered a heart attack, his second, and had to rushed to a hospital for an angioplasty.

Since then, his bandmates – drummer Raimund Marasigan, bassist Buddy Zabala, and lead guitarist Marcus Adoro – have repeatedly said they would welcome another gig, once Buendia recovers.

"They have prepared a good lineup of songs," Esguerra said. "This is going to be like the performance of their life for a long time."

The Buendia, Marasigan, Adoro, and Zabala were four students of the University of the Philippines when they formed the Eraserheads back in 1989. After about 2 years of doing the rock club circuit, the group broke through mainstream consciousness with the song "Pare Ko."

Their rise to fame speeded up in July 1992 shortly after they released their first album, "Ultraelectromagneticpop!", through BMG Pilipinas. That album turned into sextuple platinum, with sales reaching 300,000 copies.

The band, hailed as "The Beatles of the Philippines" by some critics, broke up sometime in March 2002, a year after they released their last album as a group, "Carbon Stereoxide." - GMANews.TV
