ELY RUSHED TO HOSPITAL, ERASERHEADS REUNION CUT SHORT
by slave on Aug.30, 2008, under Philippines Music News
Just when I was about to get in the VIP section, the announcement came and the Eraserheads concert got cut due to Ely Buendia’s condition. If you folks remember, this dude suffered a heart attack some time ago while on a gig. Hopefully nothing serious happened to Ely but hey, we gotta thank the heads for doing this to us, their loyal fans. It appears that Buendia got stressed too much, we also have to remember that his mom just died a day ago.
After their first set(included “Alapaap”, “Ligaya”, “Wag mo ng itanong”, “Fruitcake”, etc…), fans waited for about half an hour, and again, I was about to transfer to the VIP when we finally got the annoucement. Should’ve known that when I saw panicked faces. Then I just got the text message from my contact in MTV that the show was being cancelled just now(can you belive that?), due to network problems.

It’s also one helluva viral marketing. I couldn’t believe the people that came and paid to see the filipinos’ fab four in just a short period of time with not much info and advertisments. I also have to mention the thousands of “orcs” outside the venue listening to the concert and desperately trying to view the combo!
Again, Ely, Raymond, Buddy and Marcus, astig kayo!
Peace, love and Rock n’ Roll!

yes of course we won’t forget about francis or kiko… i’ve said it a million times, francism was not an ordinary hip hop artist, he was part of the alternative scene in the 90’s with albums like Freeman and Happy Battle. He was backed by a band called Cannabis then.
