SB19 and NOBITA put their own spin on The Eraserheads’ iconic anthems

12:17:00 AM

 

To commemorate the success of The Eraserheads’ reunion concert last night, top OPM acts such as SB19 and NOBITA have put their own unique spin on the supergroup’s beloved classics.

Released today under Sony Music Entertainment, the revamped versions honor the timeless appeal of Eheads’ music, while giving it a more contemporary flavor that resonates with the streaming audience.

P-Pop Kings SB19 captures the spirit of the holidays with their own take on “Christmas Party,” a song off The Eraserheads’ fourth studio album, Fruitcake. Turning the original into a festive banger, the five-member boyband incorporates elements of dance-pop, R&B/hip-hop, and modern funk into the mix while carrying with them the vibe and energy of the track’s nostalgic past.


 
“The Eraserheads are one of the most influential bands of our time,” says SB19 in a statement. “We retained everything that’s great about the song, but made sure to add our own creative direction in terms of overall sound. There’s a balance of artistic liberty and compromise in the way we approach the material, and we’re definitely happy with how it turned out.”

Stell of SB19 adds, “we feel honored that we were chosen to recreate the song. Our tour schedule was really tight, but gladly we were still able to push through with it before leaving LA. Recording in a different country also feels surreal, we didn’t expect we’d reach this far.”

The eclectic rendition of “Christmas Party,” is produced by August Rigo, the hitmaker behind some of BTS’ biggest global smashes (“On” and “Black Swan”). NOBITA, whose single “Ikaw Lang” is the most streamed song of 2022 according to Spotify Wrapped, expressed enthusiasm and gratitude when they found out that they’re part of the music project that pays tribute to the generation-defining catalog of The Eraserheads. "We grew up listening to and playing Eheads songs," the alt-rock group says in a statement. “NOBITA heavily draws inspiration from their music, especially their brand of songwriting. Their work has shaped us into where we are now, and we’re forever grateful to their enormous contribution to OPM artists, young and old.”


 
For their part, NOBITA adds a little jazz-pop treatment to “Magasin” without completely losing the song’s upbeat and heavily melodic arrangement. Slightly slowing it down with stripped-down finesse, the chart-topping five-piece act puts sunshine back in “hugot” with endearingly surprising twist.

Apart from the revamped tracks by some of today’s biggest hitmakers, five of The Eraserheads’ legendary albums were re-released in full 360-degree spatial sound to give listeners a new immersive music experience. These influential records include Ultraelectromagneticpop!: The 25th Anniversary Remastered Edition, Circus (25th Anniversary Remastered), Cutterpillow, Fruitcake, and Sticker Happy.

SB19’s “Christmas Party” and NOBITA’s “Magasin” are out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.

The Reunion, An Eraserheads Tribute Concert

10:13:00 AM

Lived my teenage life hearing the songs and musics of Eraserheads and it made me realize how much I've grown.  The Reunion, An Eraserheads tribute Concert brings back memories of my teenage life. Some of the songs have been part of courtship and inspiration. Some of these songs were also the comfort and refuge of brokenhearted ones, I'm also one of those. May it be despair or joy this songs and musics have made my youth unforgettable and worth remembering.

Too bad I wasn't able to watch their last concert as a group.  I was financially unstable back then that's why I can't yet afford to buy those tickets.  So I just listened to it on the radio because of the radio station that I've always listened covers that event.


So, it was really fun listening to the Eraserheads' songs once again.  Though they are not the ones playing, still, it feels good to hear those songs again.  During the concert, people who purchased this album get a chance to watch the concert much closer and also get a chance to win in a raffle where the Chevrolet Sparks is the grand prize.

“The Reunion” concert is a tribute to the songs created by the Eraserheads band with its members namely Ely Buendia, Raymund Marasigan, Buddy Zabala, and Marcus Adoro.  These songs are played and sung by various artists such as Callalily, 6CycleMind with Eunice of Gracenote, Hilera, Itchyworms, Mayonnaise, Tanya Markova, Johnoy Danao, Jay Durias, Vin Dancel, and Ney Dimaculangan.


This concert is under Star Records productions entitled “The Reunion: An Eraserheads Tribute Concert” as it pays homage to the band’s numerous contribution to the Philippine music history and to the country’s culture as a whole. The event is a celebration not only of the generation who grew up to the music of Eraserheads but also a celebration of today’s youth who are discovering the greatness of the band that revived Pinoy rock in 1990s.
