Eraserheads (sometimes stylized as ERASƎRHEADS or ƎRASƎRHƎADS) are a Philippine alternative rock band formed in Quezon City in 1989. The band is composed of lead singer and primary songwriter Ely Buendia, guitarist Marcus Adoro, bassist Buddy Zabala, and drummer Raimund Marasigan. They are the most influential band in Philippine music history. Regarded as “the Beatles of the Philippines”, the band have sold 9 million copies of their discography throughout their career.

The band released their debut album, Ultraelectromagneticpop!, in 1993, to critical acclaim and strong sales. Followed by Circus (1994) and Cutterpillow (1995), the band ushered in a second wave of Philippine rock bands in the 1990s. They also received MTV Asia’s Viewers Choice Award at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards in New York City, the only Philippine artist to have received the award before the conception of the MTV Asia Awards.

After releasing the Christmas concept album Fruitcake (1996), Eraserheads experimented with electronic and art rock styles for their next albums Sticker Happy (1997), Natin99 (1999), and Carbon Stereoxide (2001). The band broke up in 2002, and all principal former members have enjoyed success as solo artists. They later reunited in 2008 for a series of reunion concerts in the Philippines and have since made sporadic touring and promotional appearances in the country and overseas.

History

[edit]

1989–1992: Formation and early years

[edit]
U.P. Diliman where all members of the band attended.

The members of Eraserheads met while attending University of the Philippines Diliman in Quezon City in 1989. Vocalist Ely Buendia previously had two college bands, Bluidie Tryste and Sunday School, and was a year above drummer Raimund Marasigan (also a session drummer for Sunday School), bassist Buddy Zabala, and guitarist Marcus Adoro; the three were part of another college band named Curfew. Ely posted an audition notice for a new band on a university message board, of which only Raimund, Buddy, and Marcus showed up.[1]

The new band called themselves Eraserheads after the David Lynch film Eraserhead (1977). Initially achieving little success playing covers at schools and Manila’s rock club circuit, they decided to write their own material, which soon earned them a cult following around the university.[2] One of the songs in particular, "Pare Ko", became popular for its explicit lyrics.

On January 26, 1991, Eraserheads recorded a nine-song demo tape at the garage of Marasigan’s provincial home in Candelaria, Quezon.[3] They later shopped the demo cassette around record labels, clubs, and radio stations only to be met with rejection at every turn; one recording label commented that the demos are “not pop enough”. Later in May, UP Diliman humanities professor and friend of the band Robin Rivera helped them re-record and mix better versions of the demo songs on a four-track DAT recorder. The new demo tape was named Pop-U! as an irreverent response to those who turned them down. The demos were said to be influenced by English rock band The Cure as well as ska and reggae genres.[4]

Meanwhile, Buendia became an employee of BMG Records as a student copywriter. Working with BMG during the day, he wrote songs with the band at night. Their material later caught the attention of BMG A&R director Vic Valenciano, who commented that they were technically very raw but that there was something promising in them.[5] In 1992, BMG signed the band into a three-year record deal.

1993–1997: Mainstream success

[edit]

Eraserheads recorded their debut album, Ultraelectromagneticpop!, in early 1993,[6] with some of the tracks rerecorded from Pop-U!.[7] First released by BMG in July the following year, the album was a commercial success, selling 300,000 copies by the end of the year.[5] Its lead single “Pare Ko” became controversial for its explicit lyrics, with the Philippine Association of the Record Industry (PARI) unsuccessfully attempting to censor it.[8] As a result, the album featured both the original and censored versions (with the latter titled “Walang Hiyang Pare Ko”,[9] later excluded from the album’s 25th anniversary remaster).

The band performed at the 43rd Miss Universe pageant held at the Philippine International Convention Center in Pasay City in May 1994.[10] Later in November, they held their first major concert titled "Eraserheads Jamboree" at the Folk Arts Theater (now the Tanghalang Francisco Balagtas) in Malate, Manila.[11] They also released their second album Circus in the same month.[6] It also became a commercial success, eventually turning quintuple platinum.[12] Some of its tracks became classic hits for the band, such as "Kailan", "Minsan", "Magasin", "Alapaap" and "With a Smile".[12] "Alapaap" became controversial for its suggestive lyrics, which Senator Tito Sotto interpreted as promoting drug use. The band denied the allegation, stating that it was a misinterpretation and that the song was the band's "ode to freedom", not drug abuse.[13]

In July 1995, the band starred as themselves opposite Joey de Leon in the comedy film Run Barbi Run, also contributing to its theme song.[14] Later in December, the band launched their third studio album Cutterpillow through a free open-air concert.[15] It became their fastest-selling record, earning double platinum after one week with 80,000 copies.[16] The album featured classic hits such as "Overdrive", "Huwag Mo Nang Itanong", "Torpedo" and "Ang Huling El Bimbo", of which a music video directed by Auraeus Solito premiered on February 1996.[17] After the release of Cutterpillow, the band went on a nationwide tour to promote the album.[18]

In January 1996, the band opened for Sonic Youth, Foo Fighters and Beastie Boys for MTV Asia's Alternative Nation tour in Manila.[19] Later in December, they released their fourth studio album Fruitcake, a Christmas concept album with all songs written in English.[20] Like their previous albums, it became a commercial success, earning triple platinum after a month with 120,000 copies sold. It was followed by a companion storybook released the following year.[21]

1997–2002: Later years and break-up

[edit]

Going international

[edit]

The band started touring outside the Philippines in 1997, first performing at BMG Records' Sentosa Pop Festival in Singapore in March.[22] They then made their American debut in May, playing several venues in California.[23][24][25] In September, they received the MTV Asia's Viewer's Choice Award for the "Ang Huling El Bimbo" video at the MTV Video Music Awards at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, making them the first Philippine artist to receive such a distinction.[26][27]

Radio City Music Hall in New York City

The band released their fifth studio album Sticker Happy in the same month. It also became a commercial success, selling 120,000 copies.[28] The album saw the band experimenting with techno and experimental rock genres, incorporating a wide range of instruments and guitar effects, with Buendia writing cryptic lyrics in songs such as “Kaliwete”, “Spoliarium”, and “Para sa Masa”.

In February 1998, the band represented the Philippines at the Asia Live Dream '98 for NHK in Tokyo, Japan.[29] They later toured the US to promote Sticker Happy under the Happy Box production outfit.[30] In August, the band released their first compilation album Aloha Milkyway for the Southeast Asian market, featuring five new songs including "Julie Tearjerky" and "Tamagotchi Baby" as well as select English language tracks from their previous albums. They later toured in Singapore on September[31] and in Australia on April 1999 to promote the record.[29]

The band released their sixth studio album, Natin99, in May 1999. Recorded in a nonlinear approach, the album featured significant contributions from members other than Buendia, who wrote the promotional singles "Maselang Bahaghari" and "Huwag Kang Matakot".[32] In November, the band performed at Dubai, United Arab Emirates with rapper Francis M.[33]

In January 2000, the band performed with APO Hiking Society at Nescafé's Open Up Party at Bonifacio Global City.[34] They later toured the US between May and June 2000, playing venues in New York, Chicago, and California.[35] The band released their seventh and final studio album Carbon Stereoxide in March 2001.[29]

Buendia's departure, new vocalist and break-up

[edit]

Buendia left Eraserheads on March 2002.[36] In an interview, Adoro revealed that Buendia sent a cryptic text message to his band members that he had already “graduated”, referring to him being a year ahead of them at UP.[37] Buendia later recalled in a podcast interview in 2021: “We had a very, very good working relationship. It’s just that I don’t like it when people say that it was the wrong way to go, ‘yung dynamics within the band.”[38]

The remaining three members later debuted with new vocalist, Kris Gorra-Dancel of Fatal Posporos, at Hard Rock Manila in April. Naming themselves “EHeads”, they released a promotional EP titled Please Transpose in August which featured the single “You Make Me”, of which a music video was directed by Marie Jamora.[39] Adoro left the band in November, and the rest of the band recruited Ebe Dancel of Sugarfree and Diego Mapa of Monsterbot and renamed the band Cambio, ending the Eraserheads.[40]

2003-2008: After the break-up

[edit]

The band received the Hall of Fame award at the NU Rock Awards X in November 2003. Buendia, who also performed at the awards show with his band the Mongols, accepted the award.[41] In May 2004, Adoro (as Surfernando) jammed with Zabala and Marasigan at the Millennia Club in UP.[42]

In 2005, the first Eraserheads tribute album Ultraelectromagneticjam!: The Music of the Eraserheads was released.[43] “I don’t have a problem with that,” Buendia reacted to the release. “I just feel it’s not yet the right time to do such tribute because I’m still doing something worthwhile.”[44] Still, he appears in the album through the track “Superproxy 2K6” with Francis M.

In February 2007, the essay anthology book, Tikman ng Langit: An Anthology on the Eraserheads, was launched at Makati with acoustic performances from Cambio and Adoro’s band Markus Highway, marking the first time members of the Eraserheads performed together since their break-up.[45] Buendia was not able to attend due to a meeting with his heart surgeon.[46] In July 2007, the band were listed as performers with Teeth, Rivermaya, and Parokya ni Edgar for a live show at the Saguijo Bar in Makati. However, Buendia and Adoro did not show up as they had separate engagements.[47]

2008–present: Reunions

[edit]

2008-2009

[edit]
Eraserheads at "The Final Set" Reunion Concert: (R to L) Buddy Zabala, Ely Buendia, Raimund Marasigan and Marcus Adoro together with Jazz Nicolas of Itchyworms (far left) as their session player

On July 2008, the band confirmed they would reunite for a concert at the CCP Open Grounds on August 30.[48] Initially sponsored by Philip Morris, the company later backed out after facing criminal charges by the Philippine Department of Health (DOH) for violating the Tobacco Regulation Act of 2003 prohibiting tobacco companies from sponsoring artistic events; they had also promised a free but invitation-only show for adults and smokers.[49] The concert was later sponsored by Radiohead Productions with tickets being sold and the venue moved to the Bonifacio Global City Open Grounds in Taguig.[50]

The band went ahead with the reunion concert as planned, with Jazz Nicolas of Itchyworms joining in as session musician. However, it was cut short due to Buendia being rushed to Makati Medical Center after experiencing chest pains. The remaining band members went to Saguijo and played what would have been the second set of the concert, with Ebe Dancel on vocals.[51] A live recording of the concert was later released on CD on November, with an accompanying concert film also released in theaters.[52]

On January 2009, the band announced a second reunion concert to be produced by MTV Philippines.[53] Called The Final Set, the sold-out concert was held at the SM Mall of Asia concert grounds in Pasay City,[54] with an estimated 100,000 people in attendance.[55] The band also paid tribute to Francis M., who had died of leukemia the previous day and was slated to be a guest performer.[55] The concert was later aired on GMA Network as a TV special on April.[56] On February 2009, the band received the MYX Magna Award, which was accepted by Marasigan.[57]

2010s: International tours, Sabado/1995

[edit]

The band continued to perform on sporadic worldwide tours from 2012 to 2014. Eraserheads held another reunion concert in the United States (San Francisco, Los Angeles & New Jersey) and Canada (Toronto) from October 12 to 20, 2012.[58]

After their American Tour, the next show for the band was at the du Music Festival. Held at the Dubai Amphitheatre, UAE on April 4, 2013, the festival featured a diverse lineup of music stars including Guns N' Roses, Train, Natalie Cole, Andrea Bocelli and other local acts. The band also featured a "fifth Eraserhead", Rommel 'Sancho' Sanchez on additional guitar duties. Rommel joined the band, too, during their 2012 North American tour. During the Dubai concert, Ely dedicated the song "Lightyears" to the OFWs.

After four months, on August 10, 2013, Eraserheads played a show in another country, Singapore. On December 27, 2013, Eraserheads and Parokya ni Edgar performed at "High Impact Asia" Meydan Racecourse, Al Meydan Road, Nad Al Sheba, Dubai, UAE.

Eraserheads performed their first major rock concert at the Eventim Apollo in London, England on April 4, 2014. This was produced by Marvin Guzman and Bernadith Marimon of Finest Workers UK Ltd in the US.

In September 2014, the band released two new songs via Esquire (Philippines edition), titled "1995" and "Sabado". This was their first release of new material in more than a decade.[59][60] The magazine cover mimics the Beatles' Abbey Road cover, which was shot during the band's tour in London.

In June 2016, Eraserheads guested in the rebranding launch event, "A New Day", of the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company, along with its subsidiary Smart Communications.[61] The band performed 5 encore songs and 13 main setlist songs.[62]

In a tweet posted in January 2018, Buendia said: "Some people will never understand that people who don't get along don't work together." The statement was interpreted by Philippine Daily Inquirer and some fans as a response to calls for another reunion concert in the band's home country.[63]

A musical adaptation of Eraserheads' discography entitled Ang Huling El Bimbo ran from July 20 to September 2, 2018, at Resorts World Manila.[64] A second run for the musical was set for March 2019.[65] The band's first album was set to be rereleased in its first time on vinyl format, in November 2019. In December 2020, the band released a special edition photobook that features photos taken from the Final Set concert in 2009. The three band members, Marasigan, Zabala, and Adoro formed the band Ultracombo in 2019 and performed the songs of the Eraserheads. Adoro left the group on the following months after performing on a couple of gigs.[66]

2020s, Huling El Bimbo concert tour

[edit]

On August 7, 2021, Offshore Music proudly announces the release of the Sabado/1995 EP of the Eraserheads on all digital streaming platforms. The EP was written during their UK Tour back in 2014.[67]

Eraserheads at the Huling El Bimbo concert 2022

On September 17, 2022, all four members of the band posted on their social media an image of the band's logo, the reversed letter E. Two days later, it was announced that a reunion concert titled "Eraserheads Huling El Bimbo 2022" will be held on December 22, 2022, at SMDC Festival Grounds in Parañaque, Metro Manila.[68]

At the December 2022 reunion concert, the band performed 31 songs with participation from guests such as Gary Valenciano and a holographic projection of late rapper Francis Magalona. The three-hour show, which drew a crowd of 75,000, closed with a five-minute long firework display alongside their encore performance of Huling El Bimbo.[69] After the concert, the band embarked on a 2023 world tour. [70] The concert has been since released on streaming platforms on March 15, 2024, and more dates in the band's world tour were added.[71][72]
