'Eraserheads: Combo on the Run' will be available to the public on July 27on the Eraserheads' and DVent Picture's official YouTube channels.

The trailer for the new documentary feature Eraserheads: Combo on the Run will have its world premiere at the San Diego Comic-Con on July 26.

Eraserheads: Combo on the Run is written and directed by Maria Diane Ventura. It will be her first feature since 2021's much-lauded Deine Farbe, which won Best German Feature at the Berlin Film Festival and Best Director at the International Film Festival Manhattan.

The band, composed of Ely Buendia, Buddy Zabala, Marcus Adoro and Raymund Marasigan, will also be featured in an SDCC-exclusive issue of the hit Filipino-American indie comic The Legendary Lumpia Squad. At the same time, a panel dedicated to the “Lumpia universe” is also scheduled on July 26, 7-8pm, at Room 6 BCF of the San Diego Convention Center.

Ely, Eraserheads' singer and chief songwriter, will grace the panel alongside Lumpia Squad creator Patricio Ginesla and legendary artist Whilce Portacio (X-Men, Stone). He will also be at the exclusive autograph signing slated the next day, July 27.

Known for having lorded over Pinoy alt-rock in the '90s and beyond, Eraserheads is akin to being music superheroes in the eyes of fans back home as well as the global Filipino diaspora.

Eraserheads: Combo on the Run first started production during prep work for 2022's Manila staging of Huling El Bimbo. The much-awaited reunion concert was a monumental gathering that provided a reprieve to a nation still reeling from the effects of a divisive political year.

The feature ultimately zeroes in on how this “unlikely group of disbanded punks” was able to provide healing while, ironically, grappling for it themselves.

Eraserheads: Combo on the Run is brought to you by Dvent Pictures and WEU, and produced by Ely Buendia and Voyage Studios.

The Eraserheads is currently on their Huling El Bimbo world tour sweeping cities of US and Canada.
