Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, England (1989 – 1997, 2001 – 2002, 2007 – 2009)
The baseball-capped, baggy-shorted EMF - Epsom Mad Funkers or, in the words of their eponymously titled song, Ecstasy Mother Fuckers (the band could never quite make up their minds) - made their first attack on the UK music scene in the autumn of 1990 with the Jesus Jones-influenced Top 10 single “Unbelievable.” Sampling hard-hitting US comic Andrew Dice Clay, the single was a catchy pop pile-up featuring fresh-faced vocalist James Atkin’s sneery schoolboy vocals, band leader Ian Dench’s swaggering rock guitar and a booming bassline, courtesy of Zac Foley. Mischief-maker Derry Brownson (keyboards) and Mark Decloedt (drums) completed the line-up.
‘Madchester’ had exploded in 1990, and every previously no-hoper band with half an idea sold their souls to hitch a ride on the ensuing ‘indie dance’ bandwagon. EMF’s ideas were better formed than most, despite the fact that they had been signed by a major label (EMI/Parlophone) after only a handful of gigs.
