E'HEADS...

THE E'HEADS

The Eraserheads, or E-Heads was a prominent Pinoy rock band of the 1990s, formed by Ely Buendia, Raimund Marasigan,Buddy Zabala and Marcus Adoro. The band is one of the most successful, critically-acclaimed, and significant bands in the history of Original Pinoy Music, earning them the accolade, "The Beatles of the Philippines." The Eraserheads are also credited for spearheading a second wave of Manila band invasions, paving the way for a host of influential Philippine alternative rock bands such as Rivermaya and Yano.
The band released several singles, albums, and EPs that reached number one. This commercial success was most evident in the release of their third album Cutterpillow, which achieved platinum status several times. The Eraserheads are one of the best-selling musical acts of all time in the Philippines, paving way for an international career that earned them the "Moon Man" in the MTV Video Music Awards.
Their diverse music worked both in the underground and mainstream scenes of the Philippine music industry. By fusing different musical styles such as alternative, pop, rock, reggae, and synthpop the Eraserheads helped change the sound of Pinoy rock.

The E'heads are now disbanded because of unknown reasons. but, I believe that the reasons are valid. I hope that they could form again permanently so that they can continue inspiring others especially the teenagers nowadays, through their songs.

Tribute album

Just a few years after the break-up, the tribute album Ultraelectromagneticjam!: The Music Of The Eraserheads was released in honor of the band.

Puno, and Radioactive Sago ProjeCt.

The launch was attended by around 50 people.

THE PEOPLE BEHING THE SONGS

Ely Buendia

After leaving the Eraserheads, Ely Buendia, under the stage name, Jesus "Dizzy" Ventura, joined guitarist Jerome Velasco , bassist Yan Yuzon, and drummer Bogs Jugo to form the band, The Mongols. After putting out an underground E.P. A Fraction of a Second, the Mongols decided to have their self-produced album distributed by the major label VIVA Records. The result is a thirteen-track album called Buddha's Pest. The Mongols' singles did not get the kind of airplay that the Eraserheads' songs used to have, attributed to the band's leanings towards heavy underground music.
When Jerome Velasco left The Mongols to study abroad, the other members of the band added The Teeth bassist Dok Sergio to their lineup and renamed their band Pupil. In November 2005, Pupil released an album entitled Beautiful Machines under Sony BMG and label Musiko, with the song, "Nasaan Ka?" as its first single. The song got fair airplay and became quite popular. Pupil's music is relatively more mainstream than The Mongols'.
Buendia also had a broadsheet column entitled "CURSOR," which was published weekly in the Entertainment Section of The Manila Bulletin newspaper. Due to Buendia's busy musical career, CURSOR had ended and was last published during the first Saturday of September 2006.

Raimund Marasigan

After Buendia and Adoro left the Eraserheads, Raimund Marasigan, Buddy Zabala and Kris Gorra-Dancel's group was renamed "Cambio," adding Diego Mapa to their lineup. They came out with an album called Derby Light .
Marasigan started "Planet Garapata" also in 1996, a short-lived hip-hop and electronica project that featured Eraserheads bassist Buddy Zabala, Eraserheads sound engineer Mark Laccay and Jeng Tan. The project debuted in Francis M's 1996 Happy Battle album and featured Marasigan's early rapping skills.
Marasigan's band, Sandwich, was formed in 1996 with his girlfriend Myrene Academia (also with the band Imago) on bass, Marc Abaya on lead guitars and vocals (later replaced by Mong Alcaraz of the band, Chicosci), Diego Castillo on rhythm guitars, and Mike Dizon (from Teeth) on drums. Although existing simultaneously with the Eraserheads, Sandwich built up their own fan base. Abaya left the band in 2005 to concentrate on his own band, Kjwan, and Marasigan has since taken over as the sole vocalist and lead guitarist. They have released five albums: Grip Stand Throw, 4-Track Mind, Thanks to the Moon's Gravitational Pull, Five on the Floor, which saw Marasigan handle vocal duties in lieu of former singer Marc Abaya, and their latest release, Marks the Spot.

Buddy Zabala

Zabala currently plays bass for another legendary Pinoy rock band, The Dawn, as well as for Cambio, Twisted Halo and Sun Valley Crew.
For his bass work for Cambio ("Derby Light") and Twisted Halo ("In Loving Memory of the Fearless Exploits of the Bolo Brigade"), Zabala was awarded the 2004 NU Rock Awards "Bassist of the Year".
He also helps produce albums for other local bands such as Boldstar, Twisted Halo, Itchyworms, Fatal Posporos and Sugarfree.

Marcus Adoro

After Buendia left the Eraserheads, Adoro also decided to quit a few months later. He then moved to La Union and was unheard from until the April 2005. An email from him was sent toPhilMusic.com about a new project he was working on, called "Belma en Luis".The EP turned up at a shop called "Sarabia Optical" in his former collegiate school, UP Diliman. It became available in different album covers and titles: Urfer Magazine, Duckdive , American Gurl , and Submarine
Adoro, Zabala, and Marasigan performed for an event at the Millennia Club called "Marooned," a production of UP bands from past and present. Buendia was invited to the gig, but did not attend. The song, "Batch 88" from "Belma en Luis," was one of the songs that was jammed by the trio.
Marcus Adoro has a new band named Markus Highway under Warner Music Philippines. Their first album, "Behold, Rejoice! Surfernando Is Hear Nah", was released in February 2008.
