Thought it'd be worth having a thread with some general info etc.
If you have a question/want info that isn't covered below then ask and if one of the mods can't answer we'll pass it onto iMMa/Management & add it in ;D
Who is iMMa?
iMMa is Erika Footman, and backing band.
check out the myspace here
Whats all this with the crane?
The crane is one of the most famous Japanese origami designs, and forms the iMMa logo. Legend says that anyone who folds one thousand paper cranes will have their heart's desire come true.
They also look really funky
Where can I hear the tracks?
Well, there's 5 tracks up on myspace, currently Chasing Heroes, Denial, Does She Take Sugar, an acoustic version of Feeding Pain and a live version of new track Poison Eyes. You can also hear Two Feet and Walkin' On via live videos on youtube.
And of course, get yourself along to a gig, which will be listed in the tour dates thread here
Ok, they sound great, so how do i get hold of the tracks to own?
There's a 4 track EP available at gigs, tracklisting of Denial, Losing, Tainted Delight & Does She Take Sugar. If you want one and can't get to a gig, get in touch and we'll contact management and see if we can sort something out.
iMMa's debut album was recorded at the end of 2008/beginning 2009 and is due to be mixed. details of release to follow.
Who else has worked with iMMa?
(apologies if I've missed anyone out, let me know if i have and I'll amend as necessary!

Is there a street-team and how do i join?
Yes there is and new members are always welcome! We're on myspace so drop us a message on there. Or if you're not on myspace and want to get involved, send a message on here. We need people all over the country to help promote iMMa - from handing out flyers and stickers to going to gigs to generally just lending your support! And the more you do, the more you'll be rewarded!
Where else can i find out about iMMa?

What about merch?
Ok well, some clothing is available via cafepress
I particularly recommend the street-team hoody
Also available via the merch stall @ gigs are iMMa tshirts in black (mens) & girls (pink) with the iMMa logo on, the EP, stickers, badges and plectrums.
Again, if you can't get to a gig and want to purchase items, get in touch with a mod and we'll contact management and see what we can do.
What about an iMMa gigography?
It's a work in progress and will take me some time to do - I've got some gaps in my gig knowledge so please tell me what I've missed & I'll amend as necessary!
