Reflections on an aborted eheads concert…
“And this was my moment of clarity, my epiphany: We are the eraserheads. Wala na sila. Disbanded na sila 6 years ago, pero nandito pa tayong lahat. And whatever greatness they have left, is not on a stage shared by these four people, their greatness truly lies in us.”
Katwonderland went to saguijo right after the aborted concert and a couple of guys went on stage and started to sing Magasin. Saguijo had their own impromptu reunion 2nd set and in her own words:
This was the eraserheads. This was OUR eraserheads reunion 2nd set, because this was just US. Everyone in the room sang, it didn’t matter who was at the mic. The band was just there to assist everyone to purge all feelings, memories and to commemorate the greatness that is the eraserheads. And the gig was such a contrast to the Fort stage. No state of the art stage production, raims and buddy didn’t even have their complete instrument set up, there was no 5 meter barricade from the artists, there were only a about, at the most, 200 hundred people in the crowd, free beer getting served, there were no SVIP sections, no security guys, swanky buffet food, no press. But there we were shouting Tang Ina to Pare Ko, singing Tito vic and joey with Aia on Spolarium, doing our lalalala-la-las to El Bimbo.
