Amidst all the controversy and intrigued behind the much talked about music event of the year – The Eraserheads Reunion Concert – the band dubbed as the Pinoy Beatles has finally came together and did their first band rehearsal!

This was what Raimund Marasigan posted on Sandwich’s malling list the other day, and was qoutes quoted:

last monday the erserheads met and rehearsed for the first time.

nobody knew what to expect. it was a little uncomfortable since we
havent communicated for a long time. but im pleased to announce that
the band was playing better than i ever remembered. i guess we all did
our homework haha.

i wont say how many songs we finished but it was a lot. there was a
lot of drums and no drama.

That’s one great news to the waiting and excited E-heads fans everywhere. Though we are all hoping that the concert will push through, at least the four band members finally met after all these years, right?

Who amongst here who grew up in the 1990′s, have never heard of the Filipino fab-four phenomena called the Eraseheads?

The biggest and well known band of our time, Eraseheads, are rumored to have a one night reunion concert somewhere near the Pasay area with an expectant audience (capacity) of 35,000! How big is that?! It’s like at least 3 Araneta Coliseums!

I’m not the promoter here, mind you. I’m just passing the news! I’m a big fan! I got their first 3 CD! (yeah, fruitcake was my last one… personally, a trying hard attempt for a ‘Salt and Pepper’)

You can read all about the rumor/blind item/news and… you know… dance the El Bimbo!

UPDATE:

• It is confirmed that Philip Morris (PM) will sponsor(?)/Organized(?) the reunion concert
• DOH may have to interfere coz of PM violation of the law
• Eraserheads members met up and rehearse for the first time
• August 13, The Venue for the concert will be on The Fort Open Ground and no longer on CCP, as previously reported… the official ‘tickets’ for the event though, we still have no news.
• August 21 post, Eraserheads did their second rehearsal!
• August 22 post, Eraserheads Concert CANCELLED?! Damn!
• August 25 post, Eraserheads concert, tuloy na tuloy na! Di na nga lang free, pero ayus pa rin!
