Here is a particularly rowdy version of “Butterfly Knife” where I get dirty with an amp and then let small children play my guitar.
EMA LIVE is currently a tight 3-piece with lots of electronics, electric strings and dynamic guitar. I’m diggin it. Right now we are mostly focussed on writing and recording but are open to live possibilities. If you would like to make an enquiry please write Avery McTaggart <avery@windishagency.com>

Pingback: MOSH NW | lookit that came outta nowhere
Why no Dublin, Ireland date during the Euuropean tour?
gotta get over there at some point for sure…
seriously very dissappointing
Just found out you’re playing with CSS and MEN at the HoB in houston. It’s not listed on the House of Blues website! Made my day
Why aren’t you playing Chicago?
good question. we did over the summer so maybe this coming spring? we had a blast tho and i wish we were heading back!
Some time ago I read in the list above some dates in Europe in november this year. You changed your mind? Shit!!
oh no, we’ll be there!
Oh fantastic news that you’re coming to Denmark. Too good to be true! Looking forward to it! I’ll round up everyone I know and have them come to the show, I’ll bribe them if I have to! Anywho, I won’t miss this for the world! See ya in Århus in november!
greece? really?
can’t wait!
So excited to hear today that you’re coming to Australia for laneway festival in Jan/Feb! Hoping you’ll play sideshows too!
“EUROPE! I will be back in November: Italy, Spain, Greece, Norway, France, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, UK, more???”
The Netherlands ?
Hey so I hope you had a great show two nights ago at the independent. I bought tickets months ago and was really looking forward to it, but due to fucked up circumstances known as life I was unable to make it. I was really fucking bummed as Past Life Martyred Saints is by far my favorite album of the year so far. =(!! So anyway your music really means a lot to me, have an excellent tour! If you ever have a severe lack of judgement, please come play my hometown Reno, NV. Yeah… didn’t think so haha
I saw you tour schedule for Europe november 2011. No show in the Netherlands. Why not?
oh man just did netherlands. we’ll have to make it back sometime soon!
EMA, please come to my hillbillly town of Cincinnati, Ohio. We desperately need your love and fury.
Pretty PLEEEEEEEEAAAASSSE!!!!!!
When are you coming to Norway?
shit. was supposed to come this tour but it didn’t work out
i’m hoping for summer, and would love to take some extra time to see the country!
Glad to hear you are coming to New Zealand – Auckland’s cool but Wellington’s cooler – please book a gig here you will be well looked after I assure you….
Zürich is at the Stall 6, not the Factory!
Hope the next time you’re in England you do a much bigger tour, cannot get to the three venues and would really love to see you live. Just a suggestion, but Sheffield Leadmill would be an awesome venue for you to play.
Yo! I was at your show in Copenhagen the other night, and I went there without having heard any of your songs before. I was overwhelmed. The show was amazing, great songs, and everything about it seemed real. You are the opposite of pretentious. Ps. I didn’t buy your vinyl, but I wanted to, I just didn’t have any gold. Will make you a musicvideo for a vinyl though, deal?
21 and up show in Chicago sucks.
oof! you’re kind of right. i should try to play more all-ages shows in the future. get a fake ID! they’re handy for many things…
Erika,Just found out about you;
your output is scrumdillyumptious
Be checking you out in L.A.!
I hope you can come to Dayton or Cincinnati as Cleveland is way too far..
I was so sorry I couldn’t get to your show at the 9:30 last fall, but I’ve got tix for U Hall on St. Paddy’s day. I’m totally stoked, as we used to say!
Cleveland show was effing delightful.
Saw you in Toronto last night. I was one of the “good-looking” Canadians in the audience.
What a show! Powerful and mesmerizing. You’ve got a great stage presence. And your sister can hit those skins!! Hope to see you come back here soon. Toronto’s pretty nice in the summer.
BTW, what was the final encore song you played? Original or cover?
Just got home from tonight’s show in DC. It was great, definitely didn’t want you to stop. I hope that you come through again soon!
