SOLO ALBUM Buendia also went solo, even before leaving the Eraserheads. He recorded ten tracks in the comfort of his home studio, "Suite 16 Studios." The album was called "Wanted: Bedspacer." (Wanted Bedspacer, Monday Mundane, Kakaiba, Santo, Over 18, Tapos Na, Acid Tongue, Oras, Shallow Breathing, Hotchik). LEAVING THE 'HEADS One day, while driving in his car, Bassist Buddy Zabala received a text message from their vocalist. According to some fans, Ely said (through the text message) that he wanted to quit the band (the exact reason/s behind this remains unknown except to those directly involved). Zabala stopped his car and all four band members met up. After leaving the band, Buendia was later replaced by Kris Gorra-Dancel (of the Fatal Posporos ). THE MONGOLS After putting out an underground E.P. "A Fraction of a Second," the Mongols decided to have their self-produced album distributed by the major label Viva Records . The Mongols is an eclectic rock band composed of Guitarist J. Astro A.k.a. Jerome Velasco (of the rock and roll outfit Teeth ), Bassist Yan Yuzon , Drummer Bogs "Boga Man" Jugo (of the indie pop band Daydream Cycle), and on Vocals , Ely Buendia, under the name Jesus "Dizzy" Ventura. The result is a thirteen-track album called "Buddha's Pest"(Keeper, Bulakbol, Bakit Nga Ba?, Pony, Teka Muna, Candy Flip, Heroine, Wig Out, It's Over, Irish Spring, Odd Even, Your Bushido, Instrumental Bonus Track). In May 2005, the group disbanded because of legal reasons. PUPIL Shortly after the Mongols disbanded, a new band was formed.
