Raimund Marasigan (May 22, 1971) is a rock musician and record producer in the Philippines. The breadth of his projects has made him one of the most well-respected mainstays of the Philippine rock band scene.
Eraserheads Days
He first achieved fame as drummer for the rock band the Eraserheads, one of the most popular Philippine bands of the 1990s. In 2003 vocalist Ely Buendia left the band and was replaced by Kris Dancel from the all-girl band Fatal Posporos. The group was later renamed Cambio after lead guitarist Marcus Adoro quit, and they came out with an album called Derby Light.
Sandwich
Together with Marc Abaya, Raimund Marasigan was also a vocalist for the band Sandwich, formed in 1996 with Myrene Academia (bass), Diego Castillo (guitar), and Mike Dizon (drums). Although existing simultaneously with the Eraserheads, Sandwich provided a heavier, grittier sound, and built up their own fan base. Marc Abaya left the band in 2005 to concentrate on his own band Kwajn and Raimund has since taken over sole vocal duties. They have released three albums: Grip Stand Throw, Four-track Mind and 2004's award-winning Thanks to the Moon's Gravitational Pull.
Other Projects
Other of his projects include Squid 9. A hip-hop influenced band, Squid 9 started out as a studio act, formed from members of the Eraserheads, Monsterbot and Sun Valley Crew among others. It was soon performing live shows as well.
Pedicab
In early 2005, Raimund once again formed another project band. Pedicab is composed of seasoned artists donning alter egos. Raimund (a.k.a Sugarraims) is on synths and backup vocals; Mike Dizon (of Sandwich and Teeth) a.k.a. Masterbeat is on drums; Jason Caballa (of Twisted Halo) a.k.a J. Sonic is on guitar and backup vocals; Diego Mapa (of Monsterbot and Cambio) a.k.a. Mappy is lead vocals; and interestingly, acclaimed music video director RA Rivera a.k.a. Just Toni is on visuals and multimedia. They call their music "punk-disco" or "dunk music". Pedicab’s first album "Tugish Takish" (under Vicor music) was released later that year.
