EMF-TheBand.com 20th Anniversary
October 23, 2016 / Posted by Cara

On October 23rd, 1996, a website was born. It was started as a fun college hobby, a learning experience from a small room in Ohio with a crappy old computer.

There had been an “official” EMF website, but it was very short-lived and was gone before launching this new college "project."

The site was very small, only having 6 sections: Homepage (with news and soundbites), albums, singles, pictures, videos and “my stuff.” It was actually called “The Unbelievable EMF!” At the time the site was started, EMF was on hiatus, so the news focused mainly on the band members’ other projects. We started talking to band members in 1997, when Derry was the first to reach out and make contact. It was odd knowing this little project was actually attracting the attention of the band themselves! The site was growing and more band members were in contact, and finally in 1999, James gave our little website the go-ahead to be “official.”

Ever since that day, there have been events that have sent us to the highest highs, as well as the lowest lows. Through it all though, the website has always been there to report the news. It’s not updated nearly as much these days since the invention of social media’s “instant gratification” and easy fan interaction. It’s more of an archive of glorious days gone by, but still chock full of (most) anything EMF related that you could ever need.

A few words from Cara (Webmaster, Social Media Manager and Director of Fan Relations):

I’d like to thank the fans for giving us 20 wonderful years of love. It’s not likely that we would have had many of the EMF events that we’ve had since 2001 without all of your undying support. Remember when we used to say, “I thought I was the only EMF fan left?” Now we see that there are tens of thousands of diehard fans from every corner of the globe.

As for me, I never thought that when I first fell in love with “Unbelievable” in 1991, that I would be basically devoting my life to this band. EMF changed me for the better in every single aspect of my life, and they will never know just how thankful I am for them. After all, I am still just a fan who happened to get very lucky! I’ve been working on the website for literally half of my existence, and I’ve made some amazing friends along the way.

I always promised that I would keep the website running, and I’ll still honor that promise going forward. It’s not the first place to turn for the latest news anymore (that would be Facebook), but it will always be updated with the most important stories.

Thank you again to all of you for keeping the EMF machine running, and a big, special thank you to the band themselves for wanting to continue on. Just know that we will always love you and are excited for anything and everything that you do. Here’s to 20 more years!

KYTV Cancellation
September 6, 2016 / Posted by Cara

We are very sorry to announce that the KYTV show due on 29th October has been cancelled. This was nothing to do with EMF and is completely out of our hands.

We really wanted to make sure that there was a Manchester show to replace KYTV, so we are delighted to confirm that EMF will now be appearing as very special guests at Gigantic Vol 4 at Manchester Academy on Bank Holiday weekend, Saturday May 27, 2017.

KYTV ticket holders can exchange their ticket for a Gigantic Ticket once these go on sale in the next week. We will post any ticket refund info for KYTV when we get it from the organisers.

Again, we are very sorry to anyone who was looking forward to seeing the band in October in Manchester. We will see you next May instead!
