Sandwich - Raimund Emmanuel Parcon Marasigan is one of the most well-respected mainstays of the Philippine rock band scene. He was the drummer of The Eraserheads, and the keyboardist for Pedicab, former guitarist and now frontman of Sandwich. He first achieved fame as drummer for the rock band, Eraserheads, one of the most popular Philippine bands of the 1990s. His songwriting output for the Eraserheads was only next to that of its principal songwriter, Ely Buendia. In 2002, vocalist-guitarist Ely Buendia left the Eraserheads, and Kris Dancel from the all-girl band, Fatal Posporos, was recruited to fill the vacancy. The group billed themselves as Eheads and issued an EP entitled, Please Transpose (2003). The group later renamed themselves Cambio after their lead guitarist Marcus Adoro quit. Cambio released two albums: Derby Light (2003) and Matic (2007).

On August 30, 2008 at the Fort Bonifacio Open Grounds in Taguig, Marasigan joined Buendia, Adoro, and Zabala for The Eraserheads reunion concert. The band Sandwich was formed in 1996 with his now-life partner Myrene Academia (Imago) on bass, Marc Abaya on lead guitars and vocals later replaced by Mong Alcaraz of Chicosci when the former quit to focus on being an MTV mainstay, Diego Castillo on rhythm guitars, and Mike Dizon (of bands Pedicab and Teeth) on 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 career as a VJ while frontlining for his other band Kjwan and Raimund Marasigan has since taken over as the lead vocalist. They have released three albums: Grip Stand Throw and 4-Track Mind (later reissued as a 2-in-1 by Sony BMG, and 2004's award-winning Thanks To The Moon's Gravitational Pull (initially an indie release; then later reissued by EMI Philippines with bonus tracks. Sandwich released further albums, entitled Five on the Floor which featured the phenomenal hit single, Sugod, and Marks the Spot, with its hit single Procrastinator and Betamax.
