Ely Buendia reiterates Eraserhead song 'Spoliarium' is not about Pepsi Paloma
Eraserheads frontman Ely Buendia has once again denied that their song 'Spoliarium' is about the comedy trio TVJ or the late actress Pepsi Paloma.
He clarified that the persistent urban legends surrounding the song are untrue and that he would never write a song to tarnish his heroes.
Buendia's statements were made during the press conference for 'Combo on the Run,' an upcoming documentary about the band.
He previously debunked the Pepsi Paloma rumor in a March 2021 podcast, stating the song is simply about getting drunk.
Buendia acknowledged that the myth surrounding 'Spoliarium' has overtaken the facts, but he also expressed a liking for the myth itself.
The Eraserheads are set to have a surprise Pop-Up Performance Lottery during the documentary's theatrical run from March 21 to 23, 2025.
