Philippine rock band Eraserheads will release a special edition photo book titled Alternate endings: the creation of the final set and the destruction of an era this month.
The photo book, written by Aldus Santos, designed by Gelo Lagasca and with a foreword by former vocalist Ely Buendia, will feature photographs taken from the Eraserheads reunion concert in 2009, which was dubbed The Final Set. [Editor’s Note: Aldus Santos is a contributor to NME Asia.]
The book will also be “packed with trivia” and will include “insider accounts” as well as “hundreds of never-before-seen behind-the-scenes photos” from the show. It will be available exclusively on the Offshore Music website starting at 10am on December 14.
The book is priced at 2,800 PHP. International shipping is available, as is shipping in and out of Metro Manila. Although the quantity is limited, Offshore Music says it will “be restocked if necessary.”

Eraserheads have had other reunion shows since the 2009 concert, which drew thousands of fans to the SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds in Pasay City. They performed in Singapore in 2013 and had another reunion show on Route 196 in January 2016.
Formed in 1989, Eraserheads, comprised of Ely Buendia, Raymund Marasigan, Buddy Zabala and Marcus Adoro, were one of the most commercially successful Filipino bands of the 1990s.
His debut album ‘Ultraelectromagneticpop!’ was released in 1993, which included hits like ‘Pare Ko’ and ‘Ligaya’. They released another six studio albums and four EPs until 2003.
Eraserheads won several local and international awards, including the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards Viewer’s Choice Award for Asia for the music video ‘Ang Huling El Bimbo’.
In March 2002, the band confirmed that Buendia had left the band for an undisclosed reason. Buendia went on to form bands like The Mongols, Pupil, The Oktaves and Apartel.
Marasigan is currently the vocalist for Sandwich and Pedicab. Zabala played bass for The Dawn and Hilera, and is now the bassist for the pop-rock band Moonstar88. Meanwhile, Adoro started the Markus Highway band.
