IN a heartfelt letter to fans posted on the Subsandwich mailing list, Raimund Marasigan assured fans that Ely Buendia was okay and thanked the fans for their concern.
He also hinted that he was ready to do another Eraserheads show.
Before anything. I just spoke to Day Cabuhat and she informed me that Ely’s condition is now stable and they’re very thankful for all your concern.
Thank you very much for coming t the show. We really felt the cheering and the singing and the love you all gave.
Thank you for understanding that the show had to be cut short.
Ely was in no condition (emotionally, physically) to play but he did. And he gave it his all which is more than we could ask from him. Given the circumstances he was in.
We all wish him well. We are all confident that he will recover soon.
I promise to give you another Eraserheads show as soon as possible.
Again thank you very much
Rayms
For those who missed the show, here are three of the songs they’ve played.
Eraserheads perform ‘Ligaya’
Eraserheads perform ‘Alapaap’
Eraserheads perform ‘Sembreak’
More words from Raimund and his new motto, which he posted on Subsandwich list:
After the first set i was so hyped. i went looking for buddy to check up on him cos his bass effects was malfunctioning.
I found him coming out of Ely’s tent and said Ely was rushed to the hospital.We were all stunned and after a quick production meeting and meeting with his family we had to announce that the concert had to be cut short.
We prepared 3 sets. The first was just a warm up. The remaining two was going to be the fun part.
There were more videos and light shows and pyro in store for everyone.
After getting fans family and friends safely out of the venue maps I headed over to Saguijo bar to meet Sandwich, Pedicab, Cmbio and some friends to hang.
After a few beers Buddy arrives so we decided to play the second set on borrowed equipment. Thanx to Mark Maya for the stix. We had a little help from ebe, kris, vin, aia and tani. by the time we were playing el bimbo Marcus shows up so he got to play also.
I guess we just did not want to go home to our posh hotel rooms all down and defeated. I’m thankful we have great friends to support us, cheer us up when we’re sad, pick us up when we’re down.
here’s my new motto: drum now ask questions later.
