Henry's 3 year band anniversary is this week!

We're celebrating 3 years of Henry Bermudez up in the Evangenitals by returning to the scene of the crime: SXSW! It was 3 years ago this very week that Henry joined Lisa & I on a gonzo ride to SXSW to play a solo show, and he ended up joining the Evangenitals by the end of the trip. It's been an AMAZING 3 years since Henry joined the band, and we hope that you all will barrage our FB page and Henry himself with some sweet, sweet loving. http://www.facebook.com/evangenitals

Here's a little video of that momentous first show with us from way back in the day. We've come a long way, baby! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKxNY32Zr84

NW Tour Update: Day 1 - No Scat Please

Six Evangenitals and all our gear got stuffed into a Cruise America RV yesterday morning, and we set off on our Pacific Northwest Tour! Rain and high winds made the trip rather adventurous, and driving a giant RV into San Francisco (North Beach) was friggin' INSANE! Luckily Kristy and Feldman have nerves of steel and managed to not only get us safely to the venue (Grant & Green) for load in, but we even found STREET PARKING for the dang thing that cost us a grand total of $3. Woot!

Big love to our superfan Chester, who was the first person to show up and submitted a request for "Purple Rain", Jeremiah who shuttled the Evangenitals to and fro the RV, Roxie who's new original Rockabilly band "The Rumble Strippers" opened for us, and everyone that came out and made last night a special send-off for our NW Tour.

The most ridiculous, epic moment of the evening award goes to the "rap battle" that ensued when birthday boy Zach got up on stage and started beat-boxing. We then proceed to improv a "remix" of Quee-Queg over his beats. When he requested that the band lay back so he could scat, the game was on. Crockett busted out the rhymes, calling him out for hijacking the mic. "This motherfucker has hijacked the stage! The band's in a rage!"

The Evangenitals have a strict no scat policy. It's a hard limit.

Onward to Oregon! Today we have to confront rains, high winds, and SNOW in the RV. Pray for us. We're taking it slow and steady and will see you on the other side. http://evangenitals.com/Shows.html

If anyone has video of that crazy Quee Queg scene... please send it to us! :-)
