"We have hosted the Emergenza Unsigned event for the last 3 years, and over those three years the Emergenza final is an eagerly awaited event. The organisation, promotion, and PR, is comparable to that of the entire international artist who perform here. The musical prizes, placements in festivals, the endorsements and performing to 2000 people - It is hard to find anything bad about the event"
Chris Smith general manager - London Astoria
London - United Kingdom
"New Age, Emergenza e ora Marcon, un rapporto più che proficuo! Siamo praticamente cresciuti insieme nel Veneto, e siamo ormai – posso dirlo con orgoglio! – un punto di riferimento imprescindibile per tutta la musica del Nord Italia.

"Una bellissima esperienza, sicuramente il migliore contest per band che si sia mai visto a Napoli, soprattutto dal punto di vista organizzativo. L’aspirazione più grande di un musicista emergente è essere trattato come un vero professionista, e con Emergenza tutti i ragazzi di tutte le band hanno potuto realizzarla!"
Gianluca Di Pietro MC - Links
Napoli - Italy
"We were very skeptical of the potential and success of the event prior to witnessing it at the Bristol Carling Academy. What stood out initially was the professionalism of the organisation, which is rarely the case. Once the event began it was refreshing to see the Academy full for local unsigned acts. The event proved so successful that in 2005 we will be working with Emergenza - Jar Music to give the best bands the opportunity to support some of the international acts and events hosted at the Carling Academy across the UK. This is an event, which is truly creating a pathway for bands to surface to the top."

"The level of young talent at this final was astounding and the standard and level of musicianship was very high indeed. SABIAN are certainly very proud to be involved with Emergenza - having events like this is what drives both the music industry and musical instrument industry - it truly is inspiring!!!""
Jerome Marcus -
London - United Kingdom
"This event is the best I have witnessed so far. There were a multitude of backgrounds and ages yet all of them talented, committed, technically masterful and full of drive... The display of genres was immense. Everything from drum 'n' bass and 70s/80s metal, to current revival movements such as electro rock and pure Indie... the future of new music has frankly never looked better."
Robin White - EMI Music
London - United Kingdom
"Roastinghouse Productions AB are proud to be a part of Emergenza as a main sponsor. This is one of the greatest events for unsigned and upcoming bands to take part of. Emergenza doesn’t only provide live concerts, they provide a “how it works and what it takes” with their initiative and know how with this festival. I’m confident that the winning band will be a band that is ready for the big market and I’m looking forward to work with them on their album. Emergenza is also a perfect forum for independent companies and A&R’s to be able to check out so many bands at one place, says “MD/Producer” Anders “Theo” Theander at Roastinghouse."

"I just wanted to drop you a line and say thank you for a very nice weekend. I had a great time judging the Emergenza contest in Tampa. Your staff was very profesional and friendly, they made me feel right at home."
Jay Flanzbaum founder - Onlinegigs

"This partnership is the first step to build a new and exciting team of independent businesses for the future, to help bands without the help of mainstream or major companies"
Patrick Faucher president - Nimbit Services

"We take care of promotion through a network of companies across the U.S.A. We also have to teach bands and artists how to work hard for themselves basically when it comes to promotion. They can learn a lot through companies like ours and Emergenza."
David Avery founder and president - Powderfinger Promotions
- United States of America
"I tried to make them a mix of hard-core and elegance. That’s what makes them really unique. Emergenza is “a great thing”. It gives the "underdog" a chance.
It is an awesome event and should continue to keep growing."
Joshua Huber Jesse guitar designer - Ernie Ball
- United States of America
"A problem for bands nowadays is that they don’t have anywhere to play. The consequence is that they don’t even need a guitar! That’s why I am really happy to be involved with Emergenza. The organisation is out there for anyone who wants to play live. Playing live means a lot of practise, a lot of planning, getting some great experience for life, even if you don’t continue playing as you get older."
Sterling Ball CEO - Ernie Ball
- United States of America
"This festival has the type of approach and organization that creates the right conditions to stimulate live music. Many people go to live concerts. The band's friends, the bands themselves, not only to play but also to listen to the others, and in general the many people that love live music. Maybe in this way we will be able to pull people away from videogames and their cellular phones for a while. A festival like Emergenza allows us to let many young musicians be seen and try out new material, many times more powerful than that listened to in rehearsal halls or in one's own bedroom."
Patrick Schuleit Intl Sales Director - St Louis Music
- United States of America
"The cooperation between Emergenza and MAPEX is very positive because Emergenza is helping to pull musicians together to create music, and MAPEX is wholeheartedly in support of that. Since MAPEX supports various school rock music clubs and several community musical activities, it’s makes sense to support Emergenza with the equipment they need too. In this way Emergenza helps MAPEX to promote the brand name that is so well-known by musicians."
Daniel Yen product manager - Mapex

"About 6 years ago Musik Meyer became acquainted with some people from Emergenza (Andrea Petricca). During that first conversation, I recognized the incredible opportunity for a different kind of Marketing for our products. The basic idea was born! “Send musicians up on stage, let them play their hearts out for the chance to continue on the road to success!” I liked the idea! Yes, these were our visions! And we’ve made them into a reality! When I was talking to some of our partners about Emergenza, it was actually an easy decision. They wanted to be a part of the biggest Newcomer Festival. Many times I’m part of the Jury or I present the awards to the best musicians. It’s such a fantastic feeling to see young musicians receive their prizes, you can see it in their eyes: “Man, I really did it, I made the first step, it was really worth it!” All I can say is, “What an incredible feeling”!
If I like the concept...? It’s the best I’ve ever seen! To all the critics out there - Just come to an Emergenza event and you’ll be blown away by how professional this Festival is!"
Jürgen Klier creative & art director - Musik Meyer

"I saw Emergenza in action in Montreal, and it was incredible. All the bands and the audience had an unbelievably good time. I think that even though someone wins the #1 prize, everyone is a winner. SABIAN and Emergenza are like brothers doing the same thing in different areas: Emergenza for bands, Sabian for drummers. We both want to make music exciting for the players. Together we can also excite the music industry, so it will become more involved with the festival and the musicians who are competing. Together, and with the participation of the players, we can make this happen."
Wayne Blanchard marketing manager - Sabian
- Canada
"I realized the amazing potential that lies within the festival, and also the fact that it was still unexploited by the industry. An A&R, or even a team of scouts, couldn’t see and evaluate so many good bands all at once. And of course, there´s no other competition that compares size-wise. I know there are people complaining that Emergenza bands have to motivate their friends to come, and do a lot of the promotional work, etc. But to us, it’s an important factor. You might play well, but if you attract only your girlfriend and your brother, then you´re not ready to sign a major deal. Working the local scene, building a fan-base, taking over some of the responsibilities of marketing and promotion, we expect a band to bring all of this when they come to us."

"Well....it's over and done with and I would have to say that all of here at 89X were WICKED impressed by this amazing event! We had so much fun doing it and can't wait for next year. I totally enjoyed being at the event and hearing some amazing LIVE music! Walter....can you even believe those High School kids? They were great for a group of brats from my neighborhood...ha ha....and how funny...all of their parents were there! We were so excited to just be a part of it all and can't thank you enough for all that you have done for us. "

"This is far from a one dimensional event where you play many heats at the same venue, in the same town, run by in house promoters where at the end you get 1/2 a day in the studio. Emergenza is an industry-recognized name under which the all the major music manufacturer, media companies operate, to closely view new potential bands. No cash sponsorships are accepted as this may influence the event and take away the raw essence of it, which is to get bands to play their original music without conforming to a more ‘pop’ular format. Evidence of this is the Emergenza 2004 investment into improving the event such as creating more opportunities for bands to get noticed. Some of these include the Best Tour which covers 14 European and US cities, the collaboration with Sound Control, UK’s no 1 music retailer and Virgin Megastore. The ice-tip of a constant, ever evolving promotional drive. To confirm your entry to the event a registration is required by each band. Not bad, considering what you get for it. In addition to this the first 260 bands receiving Ernie Ball strings for bass and guitars, sticks and skins for drummers, your registration fee can be recovered trough the first heat by an extremely generous ticket system where the bands share in the ticket sales for each event. If none of this persuaded me, then the 26 bands signed over the past 2 years and the supporting tour of one of the Emergenza’s band Zen, in particular, with the Red Hot Chilli Peppers not only convinced me of the events benefit to bands but more so of the real success possible through the event. It beats 1/2 a day in the studio!"

"Uns war es schon immer wichtig, die Berliner Musikszene zu unterstützen, und wir sind der Meinung, dass das Festival den Bands eine gute Plattform bietet, sich zu präsentieren. Und den besten bietet es einen Einstieg ins Musikgeschäft, der für Newcomerbands ja generell schwierig ist."

"The more young people that get involved in playing music, the better it is for all of us. It's good to see a festival in Boston that encourages musicians of all ages and levels to get up on a stage and perform live."

"Abbiamo tanti clienti giovani ma li curiamo poco. Intendo invertire questo stato di cose e la collaborazione con Emergenza nasce per questo: non dobbiamo fermarci alla vendita dello strumento. Senza nulla togliere ai nostri clienti da trent’anni, i giovani sono i nostri clienti di domani. Mi piacerebbe fare di Musicarte il punto di incontro tra esperienze musicali, ricavare uno spazio da far condividere ai musicisti."
Laura Seri Molini - Musicarte
Roma - Italy
"... im Vordergrund stand das Konzept, in diesem Rahmen gab es in Deutschland nichts Vergleichbares. Bands auf diese Art und Weise zu fördern, ihnen eine Auftrittsmöglichkeit zu geben, Erfahrungen auf einer Bühne zu sammeln, die sie sonst wahrscheinlich nicht erlebt hätten. Alle anderen Nachwuchswettbewerbe kommen und gehen, so aber nicht das Emergenza-Festival, ein schlüssiges und erfolgreiches Konzept, hinter dem wir voll und ganz stehen.
Das Positive und Interessante daran ist, dass man jungen Bands ein kurzfristiges Ziel setzt. Die Bands haben Spaß und gleichzeitig eine Motivation weiter an sich und ihrer Musik zu feilen. Natürlich gibt es auch immer wieder Kritik, wegen der Startgebühr und des Kartenvorverkaufs, da es für Deutschland ungewöhnlich ist. Jedoch muss man sehen, was man dafür bekommt. Und was alles passieren kann, sieht man ja an den Emil Bulls, ...
"
Olaf Jung - Live Light Music
Munich - Germany
"By making the bands pay to enroll in the competition, Emergenza is teaching them that they have to take a chance, which is also a challenge. Nobody knows what will happen but the bands have to aim for the best. Emergenza is giving them the opportunity to sell themselves in the music business “where it’s hard to even get people to listen to you. The partnership between Steve’s Music and Emergenza is more than just business, it’s a way to keep the spirit of rock and roll alive.

"I would just like to send on behalf of my band a HUGE thanks to everyone involved in the festival. Even though we didn't move on, the experience that we acquired was absolutely invaluable. Thank you very much for not only accommodating our ages, but treating us like every other group. Often as a younger band people try and take advantage of us, and the conduct of everyone at Emergenza speaks wonders for your organization .Also, having someone come here and invest in the local music scene is the coolest thing ever. Kudos on some wicked shows, we are very grateful. Have an absolutely wicked festival, and I hope you guys come back to the city soon."
Nick Dourado - The Heavy Feather Band

"Just wanted to stop and say hello, and tell you again what a great experience the 2006 Festival has been for us. One of the Bands that saw us at the Baltimore 8 x 10 show, Sleep Infection, liked the performance so much, that they CALLED US to fill their opening spot for Dog Fashion Disco this Friday at SONAR Baltimore. Another Band, Forgotten, hooked us up with another show this past week. Emergenza has really opened some doors for our Band, and allowed us to network with some pretty awesome folks. Thanks again to you and your Crew at Emergenza for the opportunity, and for a job well done. See you at Recher on June 17!!!"
Cheryl - Heschent

"Thanks for all of your help throughout the Emergenza festival. We really enjoyed playing all of the shows and while we are disappointed that we did not get enough votes to advance on to the Metro Finals, we will certainly be there to see the show and support the rest of the bands that did make it through."
Brian Derstine - Animate Objects

"Thank you so much for your support. The speech about keeping up and working hard that you gave us after the first Kathedral Show gave us motivation to work harder and perfect our show.

Would you mind if we used your quote in our Media kit?"

Anche perchè la parola più usata nei nostri riguardi è "BALLARE", ovvero che abbiamo fatto ballare le persone presenti.E cosa c'è di più bello per una band sapere che la loro musica fa muovere i bacini?Questo ci da una carica in più per la finale.Ciao ed a Giugno."

"I just wanted to drop you a note and thank you and the other people with Emergenza for really providing an amazing opportunity
to push ourselves as musicians and as performers. We had an amazing 3 rounds and what a fucking ride it was! The last show
we did in NY at the Knitting Factory was a pinacle moment for us and it couldn't have been any tighter, smoother, or well
received. Seriously a night I will never forget. I hope to keep in contact with you in the future and maybe we'll be seeing you
again some day soon."

"Thanks so much for all the critiquing you did with us the other day. we are making huge changes to things totally based on what you said. The girls already are booking voice lessons, I am going to start using my amp for my distortions, and we are getting DVD's of bands performing to learn more about stage presence. The most important thing you said, at least to me, was about sounding dated. I want to have a sound that we all like, but isn't dated sounding. if you can let me know of any other bands that you think have a great new sound please let me know. We have been writing some new stuff and I hope that it does not sound old. Most of the songs you heard the other night were anywhere from 2-4 years old. I hope our new stuff we have been making sounds fresh and something a label will want to sign.
You guys are great, thanks for everything!"

"An experience not to be forgotten. There are no words for to explain how perfect the organization was and I think the Emergenza Village was a fucking good idea, unbelievable. No doubt we would pay for to be there again!!!!
We also felt extremely welcome by all Emergenza staff.
I am writing to you just to thank you for all your hard work in making sure we understood all the things that we must improve (like the band’s image or how to find the way to promotion our music). Every one from Sixteenth Solid Spread appreciates the things you said and we are working on it.
The conversation we had on the Emergenza Village was very important to us, it not only help us grow our motivation but our self-esteem as a band. Thank you so much for helping and make us believe that all this hard work we’re committing ourselves to do will someday show off.
After Taubertal, things are changing for better in the life of the band and we
have to benefit from this moment.

"Firstly I must say it was an absolute pleaseure to play for emergenza!! myself and the guys from Indra throughly enjoyed the festival and an experience not to be forgotten! We also felt exrtemely welcome by all you emergenza guys!
The drum kit was fantastic, what a joy to play, each drummer I spoke with also said it was a great choice of kit and the fact that I personally use sabian cymbals was a complete bonus. Thank you so much.

"iI am writing to you to express my sincerest feelings of grattitude to all of you!!! what we have experienced thanks to Emergenza is outrageous! two sold out concerts in one of basel's most important clubs, the Sommercasino, playing in front of 1000 people on Switzerlands second best known stage, the zürcher Volkshaus, where every swiss musician would like to play once in his lifetime and of course four sensational, unforgettable days at the Taubertal festival!! thank you very much for all of that!!! i'll keep all those experiences in mind until the age of 80, when i'll be sitting in a rocking chair, telling all those fabulous stories to my grand childs...
The organisation was at all times perfect. never have we experienced such well organised concerts like the Emergenza concerts. and Taubertal was the top of it! we had a great time there, with very friendly emergenza staff who alsways treated us with respect and kindness.
At last i wish to express a very special thank you to the responsible man for our area, and his charming assistant. Both of them had the perfect balance of professional behaviour on one hand, and a heart warming tone of caring friends on the other. They made us feel we were never alone in Taubertal and that they really cared for our wellbeing. They do their job with an amount of passion and joy like i have seldom seen in the whole music industry! take care of them, They're a big bargain for Emergenza!!
thank you and all the best wishes for the emergenza organisation!

"I want to send you a formal greeting once again on behalf of Broken Stigma. Our name's are, Pat Tweed (bass and keyboards), Ryan Thompson (guitar), Gary Keefer (drums). I want to thank you, and Emergenza, for such a wonderful time at the state theatre. That is currently our greatest venue, and what an honor it was to play where Hendrix once played.
I believe that Emergenza has nothing but great things in completly pure intensions of great success for future ground breaking bands.
In short playing another gig for you all and the audiance we bring will be a total YES!.
"Broken Stimga" is ready to take on any challenge, and
certainly any venue. Me and the rest of the band love to play music.
and we love to inspire those who seek it.
with that said, to create another adventure of seeling those
little tickets and meeting new people, It all sounds totaly worth it.

"Our band placed 2nd in the Emergenza Finals held in Atlanta GA this
past June, and we are certainly interested in continuing our
relationship with you!
We were highly impressed with the organization of the shows and the
venues associated with the festival. So many "battle of the bands"
seem to just be throw together without paying attention to the details
or keeping the best interests of the bands in mind.
As a result of our second place finish, we were informed that Xzamen
would be eligible to possibly play some showcase dates in the future.
What would be involved in moving forward with this opportunity?
Thanks again for putting together a great competition and giving
smaller bands in the U.S. a chance to play these great, professional
venues!"
Mike Garner manager - Xzamen

"Bueno no se por donde empezar, quizás por darte las gracias por todo lo que hemos vivido estos 5 días, la verdad es que ha sido impresionante. Nos llevamos un montón de experiencias inolvidables que seguro que nos ayudarán a seguir adelante con nuestro proyecto. Hemos hablado con muchisíma gente de diferentes nacionalidades (managers, jurado, musicos, gente de discograficas, prensa...), en definitiva, enriqueciéndonos como grupo y como personas.
Como viene siendo habitual causas ajenas a nosotros se han vuelto a aliar en nuestra contra (lluvia, pequeños problemas técnicos), pero fue increible, que digo increible, fue la ostia, ver como el público lejos de refugiarse de la lluvia siguió allí pasandoselo en grande con nuestro concierto, fue algo realmente maravilloso.
Creo que uno de los puntos fuertes de esta edición ha sido el village de Emergenza. Ha sido un punto de encuentro genial, tanto de dia como de noche. Estamos muy contentos con nuestra actuación, tanto como banda como individualmente. La verdad es que el nivelazo era brutal, sobretodo los yankees que para mi están realmente a otro nivel.
Bueno me despido no sin agradecerte por enésima vez la oportunidad que nos ha brindado Emergenza de poder salir al extranjero i poder vivir está experiencia inolvidable.

It was a supreme pleasure to work with Emergenza. We appreciate the professionalism with which every level has been handled, and the patience and personality that we have encountered with every member of your staff.

and now (of course) we want to thank you for inputing into this latest article.
We cannot describe how important and exciting this is to us, specially
a day before our performance in Philadeplhia. It not only help us grow
our motivation but our self esteem as a band.
Thank you so much for helping, supporting, and making us believe that all
this hard work we're commiting ourselves to do is finally paying off.
From the bottom of our hearts."

"Dear Emergenza family,
I'd like to thank all of you one more time for
everything you've done this year. You are now an
integral part of our lives. In the span of a year we
went from playing our very first tour and printing CDs
on our home computer to winning Emergenza in Boston
and traveling to Germany, releasing our first album,
shooting our first music video, selling out venues and
doubling our fan base. However, the most important
part was getting a taste of the big stage, confirming
our commitment to the band reagardless of problems and
set backs and disovering a family of similar minded
musicians all over the world.
What you do is incredible. Thank you!
I wish all of you happy holidays and a very successful
new year. Hope to see you all in Boston or elsewhere
in the world."

"“When Emergenza said "Emergenza's role is to provide the means for
bands to play in quality venues.", you guy's weren't kidding!!! It is
unheard of for a new band such as ourselves to be performing at The
Paradise. Our band has only been together for 6 months!! Since our
performance, our website traffic increased by nearly 200%. We have a
show coming up”."

I just wanted to thank all of you guys and Emergenza for helping us build such a great resume which has placed us with so many recent opportunities. We just got booked at major venues in Boston and got placed on a major radio station WAAF 107.3FM and have been asked to play live on air as well. Also we have many more fans now due to the Emergenza competition not to mention tons of experience. Also thanx to Emergenza we are receiving more press in the area and are getting booked by major colleges.

"Since GEN triumphed at the Emergenza UK final at the London Astoria things have become increasingly amazing in the life of the band.
The excitement of playing in the European Final at the Taubertal Festival last summer is a lasting memory. The sunshine, sonic-bombardment and plentiful supply of refreshing beverages made this the high-point in the band’s career. But little did we know quite where it would take GEN next.
John Tearle (drummer) was offered an endorsement by Jalapeno Drums, which he accepted. Rich Styles and I were approached about an endorsement by Engl and Carlsbro.
Once landed, the phone rang. ‘Jon, are you sitting down?’ said Dave Williams (half of the Meltdown Management team). ‘Yep. It’s 10.30 at night. ‘Good. How would you guys like to fly to America to record your debut album with Tim Bushong?’ he said.
‘...Eh?’ came my reply, eventually. The shock, excitement, confusion, delirium etc. etc. hit me and I think I was probably the happiest man on the planet.The album is now completed and the artwork is being finished. ‘Rite of Refusal’, GEN’s debut album, will be released in May"

Just a note to say a big thank you for everything you have done for us since Round 1 back in January.
It was unfortunate for us that our progress in the competition ended before the Astoria final, but the experience and new fans that we have gained through working with you guys has been extremely valuable, and will hopefully help us to progress to the next stage, and get us the recording contract that we are looking for.
It would be great if you would continue to bear us in mind if you are looking for bands to play at any other events that you may be organising. For example, you mentioned the BBC Project later this year...
Thanks again for your support, and hopefully hear from you soon.

"Just a quick email to say hi and thanks to everyone we had the pleasure of meeting and playing with last weekend. It was truly an amazing experience to meet so many great people from around the world and we had the time of our lives. Thank you to the Emergenza staff that made the weekend possible and run as smoothly as is humanly possible with 20 bands to take care of!! You guys done a great job and the contacts and experience we have gained from Emergenza has been more than we could have hoped for.
We hope to see you all in the future and wish everyone the very best of luck! Please keep in touch and let us know how our new friends are doing."

"Hi There!!
First of all, we wanna thank you for a brilliant contest. Its really a god opportunity for bands with no contract to show themselves. We made it to the Swedish final and did well. We are thinking of being part of it next year to. So we wonder if you can give us information when the next competision is in Stockholm. Once again... Thanks"

I wanted to thank you for the great handling of the show, and the help with everything!"

"I just wanted to say that the whole band would like to thank you for a well organized and really fun gig!!
Too bad we missed second place with only 2 votes, but we're had really really fun on stage and hope we delivered some good music!
I hope the final goes well and that you get the best band to go to Germany!

"Emergenza a nosotros nos pareció una de los pocas ocasiones que teníamos para poder mostrar nuestra música a un mercado como el alemán que encaja más con nuestro estilo de música e intentar conseguir algo fuera de nuestras fronteras por lo difícil que está el tema por aquí. Creemos que es una buena oportunidad para grupos cuya música este más ligada al mercado anglosajón."

"Ciao a voi tutti di Emergenza!!
Sono Nick il cantante degli Zen, ricordate? Rothenburg 2000? Esperienza, per noi indimenticabile. Vi volevamo comunicare che è uscito "pornstar" il nostro album d'esordio che mai sarebbe potuto nascere senza Emergenza che ci ha dato stimoli a gogo e grosse soddisfazioni.
Grazie di nuovo e a presto.

Spero che rimarremo in contatto per il futuro

"Il momento più emozionante di tutta l'esperienza di Emergenza è stato sicuramente la finale internazionale al Taubertal. Dopo aver vinto la finale di Firenze abbiamo passato due mesi interminabili di attesa. Arrivati in Germania, tutto era come ce l’eravamo aspettato: un posto immenso, un’organizzazione meticolosa, un pubblico che ogni musicista sogna di avere davanti (17.000 persone!!!) e tutti i gruppi di altissimo livello. L’adrenalina era a mille! L’importante era far vedere quello che eravamo capaci di fare. Abbiamo suonato con gruppi fantastici!"

"Dopo aver suonato per anni nei pub, un contest organizzato e qualificato come Emergenza, in cui la tua musica non è un semplice sottofondo, ma il mezzo e il fine stesso della situazione, era quello di cui avevamo bisogno. Al primo soundcheck, siamo rimasti letteralmente sconvolti dalla puntualità… a mio parere l’aspetto più positivo è che Emergenza punta sull’esibizione dal vivo: non c’è preselezione, non c’è la possibilità di ‘trucchetti di studio’, sul palco devi davvero far vedere quello che sai fare… è una situazione che ti spinge al massimo impegno per trovare pezzi credibili, maturi, che rendano al meglio.”"
Francesco Catena - glam
Napoli - Italy
"Siamo ancora increduli per quanto ci è successo, ma a un certo punto, vedendo il favore che ottenevamo, abbiamo iniziato a crederci per davvero, anche se i gruppi della finale erano tutti fantastici e la lotta è stata dura. L’esperienza di Emergenza ci ha fatto crescere moltissimo, soprattutto in coesione e feeling sul palco… Quello della finale è stato il nostro miglior concerto, saremmo stati felicissimi anche solo per questo."
Daniele De Santis - Lost Property Office

"Emergenza è una realtà abbastanza insolita per la nostra zona, e indubbiamente positiva. Normalmente, se non sei una cover band, le difficoltà per trovare spazi e occasioni di suonare dal vivo possono essere insormontabili. Con Emergenza abbiamo potuto finalmente esprimerci con la nostra musica, e poi suonare al Rolling Stone è stata davvero un’esperienza fantastica. Altri aspetti che abbiamo apprezzato molto sono stati l’organizzazione eccellente e capillare, la varietà anche all’interno della stessa serata, la possibilità di entrare in contatto con gruppi stranieri, e di competere a livello internazionale. Alla finale internazionale, vogliamo scoprire e conoscere il più possibile gente, musica, modi di pensare diversi."

"Viva emergenza!!!!! Grazie all'esistenza di questo Festival si vivono emozioni uniche e si fanno esperienze indimenticabili!!! il 16 Maggio al Rolling ho seguito affascinato i concerti di gruppi VERAMENTE TOSTI. E pensare che, paradossalmente, sono venuto a conoscenza dell'esistenza di emergenza tramite un mio collega di lavoro che, ahimè, con il suo gruppo si è fermato al secondo step svoltosi al c-side, sempre in quel de Milan!!
Ma chiacchiere a parte: UN SINCERO RINGRAZIAMENTO ALLA VALENZA PROFESSIONALE DELLO STAFF DI emergenza!!! Noi Lambisco abbiamo solo tre concerti all'attivo...quelli fatti e vissuti GRAZIE AD emergenza!!!
Senza musica che mondo sarebbe, ciao a tutti

"Abbiamo partecipato l'anno scorso a emergenza arrivando in finale, quest'anno ci siamo reiscritti e siamo arrivati in semifinale e siamo lo stesso contenti 1° per aver suonato l'ennesima volta su quel favoloso palco del rolling stone, 2° perchè se ti piace veramente suonare suoni ovunque e accetti critiche e complimenti nello stesso modo, 3° perchè emergenza sarà quel che sarà ma per lo meno a noi ci ha dato la possibilità di suonare su dei grandi palcoscenici facendoci sentire quasi dei V.I.P. anche se non lo siamo assolutamente, 4° ci ha dato l'opportunità di conoscere altri gruppi ridendo e scherzando con loro e suonando anche in altri posti con loro e 5° grazie ad emergenza a qualcuno siamo piaciuti e tuttora ci fà suonare nei locali magari prendendo anche qualche soldino per arrotondare a fine mese quindi SUONATE, ACCETTATE LE COSE COME VENGONO SENZA LAMENTARVI CHE TANTO E' INUTILE E SOPRATTUTTO DIVERTITEVI CHE LA VITA E' UNA E STARE A RODERSI IL FEGATO NON SERVE ASSOLUTAMENTE A NIENTE E MAGARI UN GIORNO CHISSA' POTREMO ESSERE PROPRIO NOI O VOI A SUONARE AL TAUBERTAL COME GUEST.
CIAO A TUTTI E IN BOCCA AL LUPO A TUTTI I FINALISTI E NON

Siamo stati benissimo con tutto lo staff di Emergenza e ora vi aspettiamo ai nostri prossimi concerti!!!! ;-)

Roberto Pifero - lost property office

"Ritorno alla vita normale post Taubertal...
Un'esperienza fantastica che ci ha permesso di vivere contemporaneamente da fans e da protagonisti... Abbiamo conosciuto ragazzi provenienti da tutto il mondo che condividono la stessa passione....Ci siamo confrontati con un livello musicale altissimo... abbiamo bevuto litri e litri e litri di birra... Abbiamo pestato chili e chili e chili di fango.... Tutto questo e molto altro è il Taubertal: 3 giorni di musica e delirio,che mi hanno fatto capire che Emergenza è una grande palestra in cui alla fine si incontrano i giovani più promettenti: uno solo viene incoronato, ma in realtà tutti vincono solo per il fatto di esserci... In Italia sono poche le opportunità del genere....
Un consiglio a tutti coloro che suonano: Pensate a suonare bene, a creare il proprio sound, a individuare ed esprimere la propria personalità.... Al Taubertal ho visto gruppi che mi sono piaciuti un casino e altri un po' meno, ma TUTTI AVEVANO UNA PERSONALITA' BEN DEFINITA... cosa che invece durante le selezioni milanesi ho visto molto poco... Forse perchè molti pensano più a tirare fuori i difetti degli altri piuttosto che a guardarsi intorno per imparare a tirare fuori il meglio di ciò che ognuno ha dentro di sè....
Mi dispiace per tutti quelli che non ci sono andati (!!!), ma il Taubertal è proprio una figata!!!!
Ciao ciao

"hier is Ramon!!! Kennst mich noch!?
Muss ja schon sagen Cooler Artikel, den du da auf die Emergenza Seite geschrieben hast. Ich bin übrigens zum Einen deiner Meinung, wegen dem schwierigen Publikum. Andererseits was will man erwarten, wenn da ein Haufen von Leuten kommt die natürlich wollen dass ihre Band weiterkommt. Man muss ja alles in Allem sagen dass an unserem Abend schon die beiden besten Bands gewonnen haben, jedoch glaub ich einige Bands weiter vorne gesehen zu haben, und nicht zuletzt RAPSOUL(Gottverdammt ich hasse HipHop aber ich glaube die waren gut-gut war auch dass die trotz Stimmgleichheit hinter uns geblieben sind, weil das ja so ne alphabethische Sache war… vielleicht sollten wir uns aus solchen Gründen andicapt nennen).
Jedenfalls so oder so wars ne coole Sache und ne ganz nette Erfahrung, auch wenn der Abschied sang- und klanglos war. Aber man lernt ja aus allem. Vielleicht sieht man sich ja mal… …in den Charts J

Natürlich möchten auch wir von Nurse Nervous uns ganz ganz herzlich bei Euch edanken.
Es war eine super geniale und entspannte Atmosphäre - über die ganze Zeit, die wir von Euch betreut wurden.
Auf alle Fälle war es für uns Nöases ein unvergessliches Erlebnis in München, sogar bis zur Muffat, mit Euch zu rocken.
Leider hat es doch etwas mit unserer Performance auf einer solch großen Bühne gehapert, aber Käfigtiere gewöhnen sich nur langsam an die Freiheit. ;-)
Ich hoffe, daß es beim nächsten Mal klappt uns von der befreiten Seite zu zeigen.
Nichts desto Trotz haben wir die Gelegenheit genutzt uns die weiteren Finalbands anzuhören und waren auch total begeistert, was Professionalität, Musikqualität und Coolness auf der Bühne betrifft.
Ein weiteres Schmankerl ist aber, daß wirklich alle Bands, mit Euch, hinter der Bühne ein absolut Faires und super nettes "together" zelebriert haben - hier mein RESPECT - spricht total für Euch - Und vielen Dank - so macht des Spaß !!!
Nun sage ich mal - bis bald !!

I wanted to write you guys to thank you so much for the CD. It really sounds great and will be a great promo tool for BTT as well as for the Emergenza Festival. We are so pleased to have received it and appreciate you taking the time to consider us.
Once again, we really enjoyed our experience with the festival and are looking to next year's rounds. Thank you for bringing new life to indie bands in Montreal. You've done a great thing.
Unfortunately, I, myself was not able to be there at the finals, as I had a gig that night. However, my band did go and said that it was packed. So in closing, thank you once again for the CD and hopefully we will stay in touch. We'd love to promote ourselves in Europe at one point and look forward to possibly working with you.

Enchantés de voir que l'accueil de nos pièces et notre prestation nous ont permis de gagner cette première soirée Emergenza Montréal 2005!"

"Montréal a deux scènes musicales différentes : l'une Française et l'autre Anglaise. Le plus dommage c'est que mixer les deux est très rare.
Emergenza donne la chance aux deux de démarrer sur scène et de faire leurs preuves. Emergenza a maintenant une place de choix à Montréal. Quelque chose comme 300 groupes (aussi bien anglais que français) ont participé à l'édition 2004 du festival rien que pour la ville de Montréal. Ça a été la meilleure expérience que nous avons vécue jusqu'à maintenant. Le voyage en Allemagne était impressionnant. Ce qui est génial c'est qu'Emergenza laisse aux groupes la possibilité de faire ce qu'ils veulent, sans restrictions... APPLAUDISSEMENTS !!"

"What a beautiful time we had this weekend. Thank you so much for the honor of best singer, I'll treasure it always. We had an absolute blast, maybe too much of a blast. Ah! what's too much? We're all still alive and kicking and made alot of new friends. I just wanted to say that I was really impressed by everyone's performances and that I greatly appreciated the organization and hospitality on the part of the staff. Cheers to all of you.

"Hi everybody!!!
It's Tony, the drummer from Running Against Radar. Just a quick response to
Andy's e-mail to everyone. To Andy, thanks for taking the initiative to thank
everybody, the bands and Emergenza staff alike. It was so nice to hear from
one of our fellow Rothenburg bands after we all had such a wonderful
experience. I'm sure that we all wish we were still over there playing our
music to a great enthusiastic German crowd. Myself, as well as the other
members from RAR - Dave, Greg and Simon - feel so lucky to have met so many
wonderful musicians and bands over the span of the trip.
We should all be proud of our achievements, and know that the future holds many
more of these occasions. I think we all remember the mud covering the whole
festivals grounds, and how many music listeners chose to slide and wrestle in
it. Also, what a great stage to play on, looking out onto the audience, the
valley, the hills and the amazing castles and old houses on top of them. And
what tasty food! Those vouchers filled many hungry belly's. We all remember
making the walk down the hostel stairs with a hangover, and feasting on the
wonderful buffet breakfast that was waiting. Naturally, we all went for the
coffee first because we were still half asleep! What an experience!
Whenever RAR are travelling to a different country, we'll make sure to contact
your band, and perhaps we can arrange some shows or a mini tour, or just meet
up and have a drink and talk about this great experience.
Again, thank you to all the bands and the Emergenza staff for giving us this wonderful musical opportunity…"
