MITCHEL EMMS - FRONTMAN for TOXIC FEDERATION
I am lead vocalist for Derby/Nottingham based band "Toxic Federation", with their latest debut album "Behind the Mask" now on sale.
I currently gig every week or so with my own Covers show, consisting of 2 hour sets of Classic to modern Rock/Indie with a 2k Rig and a 5k light show.
Self taught, i orginally started out as a guitarist, and within the past 2 years, have focused on singing, and have learnt to play Bass, Drums, Keyboards and Piano.
I've been in this buisness since the age of nine when i first picked up a guitar, and within a year i was gigging with my own produced songs with my aunt, proffessional singer "Bonnee Rox". After i appeared on National Television a year later, things kicked off, and ever since, i have worked my way through west midlands smokey pubs and clubs, accumilating experience over the years, as support for Bonnee Rox and eventually moving into my own shows.
Throughout my career so far, i have produced 3 albums worth of solo material, appeared on national TV and Radio, and gigged over 400 gigs, and its all been worth it, thanks to the support of Bonnee, who helped me gain valuable years of experience.
Every 2 weeks, i meet up with my cousin Al Atkins for a pint and a curry. He is the original founding vocalist of Classic Rock band "Judas Priest", still rocking into the modern day with his band "Holy Rage".
My other cousin Connor Emms currently fronts midlands band "The Young Saints", with former members of his Classic Wolverhampton metal band "Headspeed".
Into 2009, kicking off the year joining with classic rock/metal band Toxic Federation. We are currently gigging regular, writing new material, with festivals and big dates this year. For details, see: Myspace.com/Toxicfederation

Toxic Federation should do some shows in Moscow. While I'm in the Russian Federation, I could speak with Vladimir Putin about you playing in Red Square, in front of tens of thousands screaming Russian girls ripping their bras off and throwing them onto the stage. Just a thought Mitch.
I'm in Rome now! However I'll come back to check out your next shows. I had a pleasure featuring your band on our page as long as we did. Anything you need, the HELL OUTREACH SERVICE is here.
Mitch, I'm probably going to hunker down, and throw all of my energies at getting you guys signed. At this point, I'm definitely extending your tribute from the planned 3 days. I just responded to a comment your drummer made on my page, and told him of my intentions. I've already heard the beginnings of rumblings of interest about you guys, and I intend to keep the inertia going, and not drop the ball at this point. Bulletins will follow.
The Engines of Armageddon simply rocks! I can see why you put them #1! I was listening to the song "Fuck The Chip" as I was eating some potato chips, (called "crisps" here in London I've learned) and I got so much into the song, I immediately emptied the bag on the floor, and started stomping them, yelling "FUCK THE CHIP!" I was worn out after the song, and in need of a snack, but I had pulverized my only snack food on the hardwood floor. ::sighs::
I will launch the HELLRAISER XV party today, Sunday, August 16th, at 8pm (BSD) in London, 9pm Berlin, (CEST) 10pm Moscow (MSD) at 12-Noon Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Seattle, Spokane, (PDT) 1pm Denver, Phoenix (MDT) 2pm Chicago, St. Louis, Memphis, Dallas (CDT) 3pm Boston, New York City, Atlanta, Miami (EDT)
At this time, the party is exclusively featuring you, the musical headliner, the onlyliner! heheh
Some of your old stuff is up now, and when the party starts at 8pm London time, your new music will rock Hell for the next 3 days!
