Raised in Naga, Camarines Sur, Buendia attended University of the Philippines Diliman in Quezon City, where he met drummer Raimund Marasigan, bassist Buddy Zabala, and guitarist Marcus Adoro, with whom he would later form Eraserheads. Their debut album Ultraelectromagneticpop! ushered in a second wave of Philippine rock bands, and launched Buendia and the band to rock stardom. Buendia was the primary songwriter and creative voice behind the band's early albums, including Circus (1993) and Cutterpillow (1995). After releasing the Christmas concept album Fruitcake (1996), the band experimented with electronic and art rock styles for their next albums Sticker Happy (1997), Natin99 (1999), and Carbon Stereoxide (2001). Buendia left Eraserheads in 2002 and the band broke up soon after. They reunited in 2008 and has since made sporadic touring and promotional appearances in the country and overseas.

Buendia released his debut solo studio album, Wanted Bedspacer, in 2000. After leaving Eraserheads, he became lead vocalist for the bands The Mongols, Pupil, The Oktaves, and Apartel. Buendia collaborated with rapper Francis M. on the album In Love and War, posthumously released in 2010 after the latter's death. He has also collaborated with Itchyworms and Cheats. Buendia founded the independent record label Offshore Music in 2016,[1] which has represented artists Ena Mori, Pinkmen and Sansette.[2] Buendia released his second solo album, Method Adaptor, in 2024.

Early life

edit

Ely Eleandre Basiño Buendia was born in Naga, Camarines Sur on November 2, 1970.[3] He is the second child of Ely Revilla Buendia and Lisetta Ruiz Basiño.[3] Buendia attended preparatory school in Naga Parochial School and finished his elementary grades at Pasig Catholic College in Pasig City in 1983, and high school at University of Perpetual Help in Rizal.

Buendia had a complicated relationship with his father,[4] later writing the songs "Poorman's Grave" and "Acid Tongue" about him.[5] He also wrote his first song "The Junction" after hearing Michael Jackson's album Off the Wall on cassette, getting as far as the chorus.[5] Buendia wrote his first proper song "Unstrung Heroes" at the age of 14, which he later recorded with rapper Francis M. for his 1996 album Happy Battle.[6] He grew up listening to Rico J. Puno, Diomedes Maturan, Elvis, Bob Dylan, and the Beatles.[6]

Buendia attended college at University of the Philippines Diliman. He played bass for the college band Bluidie Tryste in 1987, which had Raymund dela Peña on vocals.[7] They debuted at a protest rally, covering "Boys Don't Cry" by The Cure.[7] The following year, Buendia and dela Peña held auditions for a new band, of which freshman Raimund Marasigan responded. He invited his fellow freshmen Buddy Zabala and Marcus Adoro for a jam session at Alberto's rehearsal studio in Cubao, but nothing materialized.[8] Buendia and dela Peña later formed a new band called Sunday School, which focused on new wave and had session drummers including Marasigan. Dela Peña eventually left the band to pursue jazz, leading Marasigan to bring in Zabala and Adoro from his own band Curfew.[7] Marasigan and Buendia combined Sunday School and Curfew into a new band, which they named Eraserheads after the David Lynch film.[9]

Career

edit

Eraserheads

edit
Main article: Eraserheads

The band played at campus events, usually as the crowd started to leave. In January 1991, they recorded a nine-song demo tape at Marasigan's garage in Candelaria, Quezon and shopped it around record labels, clubs, and radio stations only to be met with rejection; one record label commented that the demos were "not pop enough". Marasigan gave a copy of the demo tape to his humanities professor Robin Rivera, who helped them re-record and mix better versions of the demos. The new demo tape was named Pop-U! as an irreverent response to those who turned them down. It earned the band a spot at Club Dredd, where they initially had little success playing covers. They decided to write their own material which soon earned them a cult following. One song written by Buendia, "Pare Ko", became popular for its explicit lyrics.[9] The band soon landed an out-of-town gig opening for Introvoys in Cebu. Buendia wrote "Combo on the Run" based on their experiences there.[9]

Buendia, who majored in mass communication with a degree in film at UP, sold Bicol express to his dorm mates to earn money, but later dropped out.[7] He worked at BMG as a copywriter while writing songs with his band members at night. Their material later caught the attention of A&R director Vic Valenciano, who commented that they were technically very raw but that there was something promising in them.[9] The band signed a three-year deal with BMG and recorded their debut album Ultraelectromagneticpop!, which was later released in 1993.[10] With the single "Pare Ko", Eraserheads quickly entered the mainstream.

Buendia continued to write songs for the band, many of which became classic hits. The band released seven studio albums and a compilation album for the Southeast Asian region. In 1997, they received MTV Asia's Viewer's Choice Award at the MTV Video Music Awards in New York City for their music video for "Ang Huling El Bimbo", the only Philippine artist to have received the award.[11] Buendia had written the song: "I had a huge crush on this girl who was older; she was the one who taught me the dance, and I think that was the first time I was really in love with a girl. Then I never saw her again."[12]

Buendia later grew ambivalent about the band's success. In an interview promoting Natin99, he revealed that he suffered from insecurity: "I realized too late that maybe I wasn't ready for it. I felt the pressure as lead singer and songwriter. I was always stressed."[13] He also contended with audience expectations as the band started to experiment with their music, later writing "Para sa Masa" in response. "We could have done another Cutterpillow that would have been even more popular," he said in another interview. "But after I saw 20,000-plus people at the Sunken Garden, naisip ko, 'Paano pa natin masusundan 'yon?' Obvious na 'yun ang gusto ng masa, 'yung ganoong tunog. Siyempre, kung ano ang gusto, 'yun ang hindi namin ginawa (How do you follow up something like that? Obviously that's what the masses want, that sound, and of course that's not what we did)."[4]

Buendia left Eraserheads in March 2002.[14] In an interview, Adoro revealed that Buendia sent a cryptic text message to his band members that "it's graduation time", referring to him being a year ahead of them at UP.[15] Buendia later recalled in a podcast interview in 2021: "We had a very, very good working relationship. It’s just that I don’t like it when people say that it was the wrong way to go, ‘yung dynamics within the band."[16] The remaining three members later debuted with new vocalist, Kris Gorra-Dancel of Fatal Posporos, in April. Adoro left the band in November, and the band was dissolved soon after.[17]

The band reunited for a concert in August 2008, which was cut short after Buendia experienced chest pains and was rushed to the hospital.[18] After recovering from an angioplasty,[19] he later returned to the stage for a second reunion concert in March 2009.[20] The band embarked on a world tour between 2012 and 2014,[21] later releasing two new songs, "Sabado" and "1995" (co-written by Buendia), for Esquire magazine.[22] They appeared in a promotional campaign for Smart Communications in 2016.[23] In December 2022, the band held their third reunion concert in the Philippines,[24] and embarked on another world tour in 2023 and 2024.[25][26]

The Mongols

After leaving Eraserheads, Buendia formed the underground band the Mongols under the stage name Jesus "Dizzy" Ventura. The band consisted of Buendia as lead vocalist, Jerome Velasco of Teeth on guitars, Yanni Yuzon on bass, and Bogs Jugo of Daydream Cycle on drums.[27] They released a promotional EP A Fraction of a Second, followed by the self-produced studio album Buddha's Pest, which was released by Viva Records in 2003.[28]

When Velasco left the Mongols in 2005 to study in the US, the rest of the band added Dok Sergio to the lineup and changed their name to Pupil.[29]

In 2013, Buendia co-directed the crime anthology film Bang Bang Alley with King Palisoc and Zig Marasigan. He wrote and directed the title segment and the final episode "Pusakal".[40] He also wrote and performed the song "Haunted" as its theme song.[41]

In 2017, Buendia released "Gabi Man, May Araw Din", his first solo release in 17 years.[42] It was used as the theme song to the indie film Ang Pamilyang Hindi Lumuluha starring Sharon Cuneta.[43] In the same year, Buendia pitched a feature screenplay titled Kontrata with producer Pam Reyes to the Cinemalaya-DGPI Filmpitch.[44]

Buendia released the song "Metro" in 2021 as part of We Need a Leader, a voter awareness campaign for the 2022 Philippine presidential election.[45] He later re-recorded a new version of the song in support of presidential candidate Leni Robredo and her running mate Kiko Pangilinan.[46]

In August 2024, Buendia released the song "Bulaklak Sa Buwan" with an accompanying music video. It served as the lead single from his second solo album Method Adaptor, which was later released in November.[47] It was followed by "Tagpi-Tagping Piraso", which was released in October.[48]

Collaborations

edit

Buendia and rapper Francis M. first collaborated on the Eraserheads song "Superproxy" from the 1995 album Cutterpillow.

They worked on the collaborative album In Love and War, featuring the single "Higante". It was posthumously released in 2010 after the rapper's death from leukemia.[49]

In 2010, Buendia and Hilera collaborated on a Tagalog rendition of "La Paloma" as the theme song to the film Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story.[30] The following year, Buendia collaborated with The Jerks guitarist Nitoy Adriano, Sinosikat? vocalist Kat Agarrado, Turbo Goth member Sarah Gaugler, and drummer Pepe Smith on the song "Bungo sa Bangin" as part of Rock Rizal, a project by Rock Ed Philippines to commemorate Jose Rizal’s 150th birth anniversary.[30] It was later re-recorded for The Oktaves’s debut album.
