Background

On July 2008, the band confirmed they would reunite for a concert at the CCP Open Grounds on August 30. [2] Initially sponsored by Philip Morris, the company later backed out after facing criminal charges by the Philippine Department of Health (DOH) for violating the Tobacco Regulation Act of 2003 prohibiting tobacco companies from sponsoring artistic events; they had also promised a free but invitation-only show for adults and smokers. [3] The concert was later sponsored by Radiohead Productions with tickets being sold and the venue moved to the Bonifacio Global City Open Grounds in Taguig. [4]

The band went ahead with the reunion concert as planned, with Jazz Nicolas of Itchyworms joining in as session musician. They played 15 songs in the first set, with most of the setlist focusing on the band's first three albums.

During the 20-minute intermission, Buendia's sister Lally announced that the concert was being cut short due to her brother experiencing chest pains and that he was being rushed to Makati Medical Center for extreme exhaustion. [5] The remaining band members went to Saguijo and played what would have been the second set of the concert, with Ebe Dancel on vocals. [6] [7]

Buendia later recovered after an angioplasty. [8] The band later went on a second reunion concert in March 2009. [9]
