- Church of the Evangenitals (this is one of my favorites!)
- Free Hillbilly Hoedown (hell yeah!)

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

Evangenitals NW Tour Diary Day 1

2011-02-27T13:23:00.000-08:00

Experience the magic of the Evangenitals on the wild roads of the NW! :-)

NW Tour Update: Day 1 - No Scat Please

2011-02-17T10:27:00.000-08:00

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! :-)

A Cat's Life....

2011-02-11T02:21:00.000-08:00

Please enjoy this genius clip of cinematic mastery and suspense from Evangenitals drummer Kristy McInnis.

Watch. Just watch. You'll never be the same!!!!

Music Quote of the Day

2011-02-02T14:28:00.000-08:00

"Musicians should only sign with labels who (a) are legitimate, (b) have money for development, and (c) have distribution in place. Today this is the equivalent to finding a unicorn wearing a diamond saddle who’s sitting in a pot of gold while smoking fountain of youth cigarettes with a leprechaun."

Keyword Roundup

2011-01-24T21:24:00.000-08:00

While poking around in the Evangenitals back end tonight (of the website, perverts!) I was reminded of how much I love to review the various "keywords" that lead folks to the Evangenitals website. I believe that all roads, eventually, lead to the Evangenitals.... but these are the roads that led there this week in cyber-space.

The leaders of the Keyword Roundup are always the usual suspects: Evangenitals, The Evangenitals, and Lisa Dee -- which, we've discovered, could be the London rocker Lisa Dee, or the Reiki healer Lisa Dee. Alas, the cross-dressing site "Lisa Dee's Closet" that we loved so much seems to have gone offline. Boo! :-(

Ari DeSano is almost always at the top of the list. Popular girl! Unless she's being investigated for something and should be really paranoid. Shut your blinds, Ari! Someone is stalking you! And Henry Bermudez. Kristy McInnis. Andrea Baker. All band member names make an appearance. WE ARE A BAND!

There's an awesome collection of band name misspellings and varieties, such as: evan gentilals, evangenetals, evangenitilia, evangentals, even genitals, and evangentles. Yes, we are gentle, it's true!

Then there's the awesome "genre" keywords that come in pretty handy when we're trying to explain our music to strangers. This week these include:

cow punk
americana freak folk
cow jazz punk
folk punk hillbilly
freak folk punk
hillbilly hippie
hillbilly jazz
punk alt country
and "evangenitals punk"

We're our own brand of punk! Weeeeee!

After that, it gets more interesting. For example...

What in the hell is the "alt cow code" and why are you looking for it? And why did that search lead you to us?
a "bermudez artichoke" Sounds tasty, but I think the mash up may have led you astray.
"who played "june carter" in cash'd out?" Well, that might have been our Juli Crockett, who did tour with them for almost 2 years. Or, currently, Nena Anderson. She's awesome.
"violin music in dude where's my car" I love that movie... but it wasn't our Andrea Baker.
"ticciati" Remember him? Under the bridge in Edinburgh? On Skype
and "please copy and paste this to your status if you are a hillbilly" Evidently someone can't follow instructions, and searched that sentence instead... and it led them to us.

Like I said... all roads lead to the Evangenitals eventually. See you there.

Ahh December! The holiday spirit (and shopping urge) is upon us. Personally, in honor of Reverend Billy Talen, I'm trying to buy as little as possible this year (get ready for homemade gifts, people!!!) However, there is one gift that keeps on giving that I can stand by... and that's the gift of the Evangenitals! And heck... Evangenitals gifts ARE homemade! :-)

The total value of this is priceless... but we're shipping it all out GIFTWRAPPED and with a personalized HOLIDAY CARD for the low, low, ridiculously awesome price of $49.99!

And here's the part where you wet your pants... that INCLUDES the shipping charge (*in the US)!!!!

(If you want to ship in outside of the US, you'll need to throw in a few extra bucks...)

So, to review, you get TWO Evangenitals CD's, a t-shirt, poster, stickers, bonus Evangina album, GIFT WRAPPED, and a card for $49.99 INCLUDING SHIPPING.

We've gone mad! Mad I tell you!

Proud to be an Evangenital

2010-11-03T14:21:00.000-07:00

Hello beautiful soul.

As parts of our dear US and World populations seemingly spiral into a crazed muck of extremism, hatred, and fear... I realize that the act of being in an all-love, all-loving, good time gang called the EVANGENITALS becomes more and more of a passionate political statement.

We the Evangenitals have, I admit, gone over the possibility of changing our name to something more "mainstream" or less "challenging" a few times in the 7+ years we've been making our special brand of music. We've been called the "Best Band Name Ever" by quite a few reviewers, and the "Worst Band Name Ever" a few times, too. Our name alone has opened many doors, and closed some. It has certainly always gotten SOME reaction out of folks when they hear it, and folks tend to remember it.

In all these years I've yet to come up with another simple term, phrase, or slogan that covers the sentiment that is the seed and the guiding principle of our art and our action -- and that is, in short:

An expansive, relentless love of everyone and everything, from the sublime to the profane.
A joyous getting down with the all of it all, with no topic being too taboo.
A fiercely beautiful, holy, and kick ass irreverence for Being.

(If you'd like to read a really extensive telling of our feelings about the band and the origin of the band name, you can do so here: http://148.ca/fab/indie/evange.html)

At the end of the day... We are the Evangenitals. I accept this and understand it more and more at every show we play, for every fan we meet, and with every heart we touch that feels its confirmation in our mission.

I feel blessed and honored to be in this world with you, at this time, and am committed to making it a fucking joy ride.

We are excited to be going into the studio this weekend to be recording more music with which to infect the hearts and minds of the people.

We are excited to be playing a show with THE MORMONS on November 13th, which shall surely raise a few eyebrows, as we're getting a write up in the Pasadena Weekly for that gig. :-)

We encourage and welcome you to do all you can to help spread the good news of the Evangenitals far and wide.

Let all the fearful, ignorant, poor souls not bathing in the light of love know that they can run but they can't hide. We will find them, and we will love them anyway... till their black hearts bleed sunshine. We are coming.

Much love, love, love,

Rev Juli Crockett & the Evangenitals

Please Support Kulak's Woodshed

2010-10-21T17:41:00.000-07:00

Hey folks. I wanted to share this plea from Kulak's Woodshed for support. Kulak's is an awesome, volunteer-run, grassroots venue in North Hollywood that hosts incredible original music and webcasts great shows on the internet.

You can check out videos of our appearance at Kulak's on YouTube, here:
http://www.youtube.com/user/evangenitals

They are in need of audience, donations, and support of any kind... so please spread the word, catch a show, and contribute.

Thanks,

Hi Everyone,

Time Warner turned off our Live Webcast last Friday but we got it back the next day. I'd like to thank the dozen or so people who made generous PayPal donations (in addition to what they already contribute) and helped make that happen. Now I have to hope that the Department of Water and Power doesn't turn off our electricity. Please read the following:

Woodshed audience attendance over the last few months has been very low and I've fallen nearly $9,000 behind in donations needed to pay the Woodshed bills. Yes, things are really desperate here. ATT turned off the Woodshed phone a few weeks ago (about $600 for the past 6 months) I owe Department of Water and Power (over $3,000 for the past few months). They've been working with me allowing me to make payments but I continue to fall behind. It's only a matter of time before they turn me off. The rent is four months ($4,000) behind.

Again, please let me remind you how thankful I am to those of you who have attended Woodshed shows this year, and for making those donations here and on-line. You made it possible for this wonderful community to get this far. I know it may seem unfair coming to you again after you've already given but we are all we have to turn to. If we pull together we can avoid repeated financial crashes.

I'm modeling the Woodshed after the PBS and Public Radio fundraising example of Monthly Sponsorship.

If you are able please help please join me in choosing to keep what you helped create. Please click here:

Thank you for making a difference in helping to keep the Woodshed going.

Evangenitals Top Ten

2010-09-22T15:20:00.000-07:00

According to Napster, these are currently the Top Ten selling tracks of the Evangenitals:

I Just Forgot
F*ck 'em All
Hey Y'all
Hello
Hard Luck
Bad Town
The Work Song
Gasoline
Quee Queg
I'm Sad

I'm pretty excited to see tracks from all 3 of our albums representing in the Top Ten, and pleasantly surprised to see that "I Just Forgot" is leading the pack! (Check out all 3 albums here: http://evangenitals.com/Store.html)

Of course, I Just Forgot was featured on an awesome Americana Playlist on Napster... so that explains a few things.

Fuck 'em All is clearly rocking the #2 spot based on it's universal message.

Hey Ya'll (a cover of OutKast's Hey Ya from the very first Evangenitals album) is up there, and a bunch of songs of the new EP fill out the middle.... which is awesome, since their the newest additions to the Napster system!

Always thrilled to have a Moby Dick track on the list (Quee Queg) and no Evangenitals Top Ten would be complete without Gasoline.

All and all, I'm liking this list!

So.... what's YOUR Evangenitals Top Ten???

No More Bad Gigs

2010-08-23T15:30:00.000-07:00

"As musicians/healers, it is our destiny to conduct an inward search, and to document it with our music so that others may benefit. As they listen to the music coming through us, they too are inspired to look within. Light is being transmitted and received from soul to soul. Gradually, the planet moves from darkness to light. We as musicians must surrender to the ocean of our inner selves. We must descend deep into that ocean while the sludge of the ego floats on the surface. We let go of our egos and permit the music to come through us and do its work. We act as the instruments for that work.

If we can live in this realization, we will constantly have deep motivation for what is played, never getting stuck in the ungrateful consciousness of good gigs/bad gigs, out-of-tune pianos, low fees, ungracious audiences, and so on. Instead, our minds will be consumed with what a very great privilege it is to be the one selected to deliver the message to others. We will no longer be caught in the mundane world of good music/bad music ("am I playing well?") Instead, our hearts and minds will be focused on the task of remaining empty and alert to receiving this God-inspired information and translating it faithfully, without any coloration from us"

(excerpt from Effortless Mastery: Liberating the Master Musician Within by Kenny Werner)

Evangenitals "Hard Luck" Live at Kulak's Woodshed

2010-08-20T20:27:00.000-07:00

A Cry for Help. Your Help. :-)

2010-07-27T18:21:00.000-07:00

This summer the Evangenitals are moving into new territory. We're on the radio, we're on the web, and we're touring to places we've never been, and where we don't know anyone. Yet!

So we're asking you, our friends and lovers: who do YOU know? And can you help us spread the good word about the Evangenitals?

I've come up with the Top 5 Ways (that I can think of today) for you to help us in our quest to win the hearts and minds of slightly twisted joy-seekers world-wide:

1. "Like" us. Really like us! Become a fan on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, get old school and friend us on Myspace... whatever web thingies you do, we're probably on there. Seek and ye shall find the Evangenitals! And when you do, please actually post comments and stuff. We love to think that you're really out there and that the Internet truly connects and doesn't just breed alienation and the simulacra of intimacy like the scientists say.

2. Check out our upcoming tour schedule and tell your friends in those areas that they will feel like total a-holes if they miss the opportunity to see us live. Critics agree, our live shows are the place to be!

3. If you're far away from any of our tour stops and getting pissed off that we're not playing in your area, "DEMAND" that we come to YOUR town. You can do this by using the nifty "DEMAND" feature at Eventful, or email us and tell me where you want us to play and that we can sleep on your couch. :-)

4. Link to the Evangenitals or put a "widget" on your website/blog/profile/whatever and tell the world, loud and proud, that you love us as much as we love you. We've got lots of widgets! You can also call your local radio station and request the Evangenitals. Yes, I know that's 2 things in 1, but hey, 2010 is the year of the multitasker!

5. Pray for us, send us your good vibes, and tell everyone who will listen that they should buy our album. Word of mouth is still the best marketing. So flap them gums with glee!

If you've got any other good ideas for how we can acheive world-wide joy-mongering... let me know!

In the meantime, we are loving you, and loving the journey.

Thank you so much for your support!

Call to Action - Evangenitals on the Radio

2010-05-08T17:40:00.000-07:00

In honor of our upcoming show at WORLDFEST (LA's largest Earth Day celebration) we'd like to ask your help with some Evangenitals World Domination -- via the AIRWAVES!!

Some wise and wonderful radio stations out there have seen the light and started to spin tracks from the newest Evangenitals album, the self-titled "Evangenitals" EP. Luckily, I have already gone through the insanely laborious task of finding all the websites and request lines of a bunch of stations currently playing Evangenitals tunes in order to make it as easy as possible for YOU to give them a call/email and request that some MORE of our music be played. Your help with this mission would mean the world to us, and truly help to get our music out there into the world.

What song should you request?

Your favorites, of course! "Hard Luck" and "Hello" have been getting a lot of action, as have "Bad Town", "Work Song", and "I'm Sad"... but hey, don't let that stop you from requesting "So Sweet" or "Home"... we think they should all be heard, and they are ALL radio friendly!

Which stations should you call?

We'd love it if you called ALL of them! Don't feel limited to those in your area... they all have websites, online streaming, and can be listened to from ANYWHERE... so reach out and touch 'em, and feel your power as we rise through the charts!

Charts??

Yes, CHARTS! To up the EXCITEMENT FACTOR... we actually appeared on our very first RADIO CHART last week! Check it out! (Click here) Debuting at #72 in California, we moved up to #63 in our 2nd week, now we're back down to #70 this week, still topping such illustrious names as Bob Dylan, Buck Owens, and Lucinda Williams. Yowzers! And the college charts (CMJ) are counting the numbers SOON, so if you get on it, we could debut high on there! Let's do this!

So if you make a few phone calls, we may be able to see that number leap a little higher, and perhaps we can reach our longtime goal of someday being #3 WORLDWIDE! :-)

The Mission:

1. Choose a Station

2. Call 'em (or email)

3. Request a Song

4. Repeat

Let us know how it goes! Seriously, PLEASE let us know if you're participating. It took me forever to put this list together with all the numbers and such, so it really feels good when you actually write back. :-)

Adventure awaits!

Free Stickers! (and almost free stickers)

2010-04-19T23:05:00.000-07:00

Since we are aware of the fact that not everyone can attend an Evangenitals show...

(where you can get our shiny new Evangenitals stickers for FREE)

... we thought we'd offer some stickers to EVERYONE for ALMOST free!!! :-)

So... for a limited time, and for the low, low shipping & handling charge of just TWO DOLLARS ($2!!!!) we will send a few stickers to you.

And that means YOU!!!! Wherever you are!!!

Or you could just come to a show... like the one at Winston's this Thursday night (April 22nd)... and pick some up.

If not, you can Paypal $2 to "info@evangenitals.com" or send $2 to:

The Evangenitals
PO Box 70318
Pasadena, CA 91107

And we'll send you a few of our amazing new stickers.

How's that for (almost) free love? :-)

Happy Anniversay, Henry Bermudez

2010-03-15T17:40:00.000-07:00

On Tuesday March 16th we celebrate 2 years of Henry Bermudez as lead guitarist and quality control marshall of the Evangenitals!

It's been a wild and crazy ride, and to anyone who has seen us live in the past couple years, I'm sure it is hard to imagine our good-time gang without our main man (and ONLY man!) Henry Bermudez making magic come out of that nylon string guitar up on the stage.

To honor the man, the myth, the mega-talent that is Henry, I would like to turn your attention to his personal projects, numerous other bands (past and present), and of course suggest that on Tuesday March 16th you take some time to turn the new Evangenitals EP up to 11 and hold a glass high in the air for Henry, oh Henry!!!

You may also consider:

Barraging his Facebook Page with love letters
Becoming his friend on Myspace Music
Buying his CD 12:13 In Highland Park at CD Baby
Making him a card and mail it to the PO Box above
Sending him some money (PO Box above) as we can't even come CLOSE to paying him what he's worth
- Or, a fine and firm handshake and a "job well done" next time you see him, preferably at a live show, preferably after giving him a tip, or a drink, or a kiss, or something. :-)

And I'm sure you can come up with your own creative ways to let Henry know how awesome and appreciated he is in this world of ours.

The Story:

On March 15th 2008, Lisa Dee and Juli C (aka Evangina, freshly recovered from The 1 Second Film's Road to Oprah tour) set out on a bold adventure to play a fringe show at SXSW in a rented economy car.

Two brave solo travelers accompanied us: Timothy Sellers of Artichoke, and Henry Bermudez of the Henry Bermudez Trio and Unpopable (now Balloon Bass), who had responded to a Myspace bulletin asking if anyone wanted to play a one-off show with us at SXSW-ish.

We played our sweet-ass show on Sunday March 16th at Thunderbird Coffee in Austin, TX... with Henry Bermudez accompanying us on lead guitar for most of the set! (There are several videos of this momentous day on YouTube here, here, and here, by the by)

By the end of the journey, Juli & Lisa were singing backup for the 'Choke and Henry Bermudez was spearheading the resplendent transformation and rebirth of the Evangenitals into the awe-inspiring juggernaut that you experience today!

*** In an astounding bit of foreshadowing and coincidence, our current bassist (and may I say master of The Lee Shore) Laurie Es actually designed the awesome poster for that historically significant SXSW show... who knew she'd be making us so many more great posters down the road, AND be joining the band!?!?

So, today we celebrate! Heck, we'll be celebrating all week long, and then some, to be honest.

It was a glorious day that brought Henry Bermudez into this band, and there isn't a single day that has gone by since he joined that I haven't been overwhelmed with gratitude and good-luck giddiness. Glory be!

It is an honor and a privilege to make music with this man, and I hope you will join us in honoring him on this glorious day, henceforth to be writ into the annals of history!!

Let's hear it for Henry Bermudez!

Huzzah!!! :-)

Much love, more love,

and a little bit of love on the side,

Juli & the Evangenitals

Last Supper

2010-02-03T22:41:00.000-08:00

I just just found the awesome Steve Diet Goedde photo of the Evangenitals from our EVERLOVIN' cover shoot on some Spanish language blog in a mash-up of other re-staging's of the infamous Last Supper of my predecessor in the great lineage of JC's.

Can you spot the Genitals on this page?
http://tausiet.blogsome.com/2008/03/15/

In the final version, you can see another great JC (Old Californio's Jason Chesney, at one time sometimes-bassist for the Evangenitals) in the portrait in the background of our pic... but he hadn't been photo-chopped in yet in this version.

We ended up making a quick video for the song "Sun is Shining" on the day we shot this photo. We had invited a whole bunch of Evangenitals extended family members to the shoot that day, and the one's that could make it were (from left to right)

Don Short (harmonica on Everlovin)
Dave "Salad" Salardino (mandolin, drums, member of Ukefink)
Patrick Ian Moore (flier artist, improv, occasional percussion)
Misha Birmele (graphic artist, album art & logo designer)
Lisa Dee (co-founder of the Evangenitals, vocals, percussion, guitar)
Juli Crockett (lead singer, songwriter, founder of the Evangenitals)
George Bernardo (drummer, now with Cash'd Out)
Brett Lyda (lead guitar, producer, now working on solo album & film editor)
Wanni Yu (brett's girlfriend, total sweetheart, hooked us up with some sweet gigs!)
Zoe Moss (accordion, designer of the Evangenitals unicron logo)
Jeff Jones (original bass player)

Myspace, Facebook, Twitter... and remember Friendster & Tribe??

It's all still pretty confusing to me. However, I am doing my best to figure it out, streamline, strategize, and not barrage anyone with too many emails and posts and pokes and tweaks and twitters from too many directions at once.

It seems I'm spending more time on the Evangenitals Facebook FAN PAGE these days, though, so if you're NOT a member of the Evangenitals Facebook PAGE yet, I highly suggest joining that bad boy now:

http://www.facebook.com/evangenitals

Especially RIGHT NOW... cuz I'm about to send out a free mp3 belated xmas present to all of our Facebook PAGE fans.

So join now and get yer loving & yer loot!

Back in the US. New EP of OURS!

2009-09-07T18:46:00.001-07:00

We made it! 3 weeks in the UK... 7 brave souls... approximately 30 shows later... and we're BACK! Hello America!!! We can't thank you enough for the love and support that carried us overseas. So we'll just keep thanking you every chance we get. Thank you!

It's all still a bit of a blur. We're catching our breath, sorting our photos, and getting ready to burst back onto the scene... or rather, its more of a cheeky jig. We had an amazing adventure over there in Scotland and we've got a ton of stories to share. We'll dish 'em out gently. One at a time.

For now, first things first:

Just DAYS before we left town, our new EP was printed! Seven tracks of solid gold recorded at Del Boca Vista Studio in South Pasadena with Tracy Chisholm. It's a real beauty. A hit in the United Kingdom already! And now YOU can have one, too.

PAYPAL or MAIL us just $12, and we'll mail you a copy of the new EP. How's that for an lovely exchange? Simple as Pi. ;-)

You can PAYPAL 12$ to: info@evangenitals.com

Or MAIL 12$ to:
The Evangenitals (yes, you can make a check out to the Evangenitals!)
PO Box 70318
Pasadena, CA 91107

Do that, and we'll send you the shiny new EP with a sleek Evangenitals Ultra Crest eco-friendly cover, no questions asked! Except for your mailing address. We'll need that.

Stay tuned for upcoming shows and other exciting news. We've got some good buns in the oven.

In the meantime, there's already a video on Facebook (the first of many to come!) from our show in London at The Sheep Walk for your viewing pleasure:

Hello there, beloved of all seasons!

So much going on in Evangenitals-land, and yet it feels like we've been in hiding. WTF? Here's the update:

The radio-play version of "History of Water" - written and directed by Juli Crockett (that's me!), featuring Shaughn Buchholz, Patrick Ian Moore, Andrea LeBlanc, and Lisa Dee (of the Evangenitals!) with live score provided by Henry Bermudez, Keith Lubow, and David Hurlin (of the Evangenitals!) is re-airing on KPFK 90.7FM on Saturday April 18th at 7am. No worries if you're not an early-bird... the show will be available via the good 'ol internet in the KPFK archives for 3 months after airing.

Click HERE for show info!

In other news, the OPERA that I've been directing at California Institute of the Arts (R Murray Schafer's Audio/Visual Poem "Loving") will be performed on April 22nd, 24th, and 25th. Click HERE for show info.

After that, I'm off on a mini-tour of the great Northwest with the world's premier Johnny Cash tribute band CASH'D OUT doing my June Carter thang for the end of April and the 1st bit of May.

AND THEN...

The Evangenitals will be emerging from our cocoon of recording and web designing to reveal the beautiful psychedelic butterfly into which we've bloomed! You can look forward to new music, a new website, exciting new shows, and extravagant new fashion statements this Spring. And a European Tour this Summer!?!!? (Details forthcoming in the next Newsletter!)

PLEASE SUPPORT EVANGENITALS EXTENDED FAMILY MEMBER DON SHORT AND THIS AMAZING CAUSE!

Friends and Heroes,

Here comes the big push...
www.heroesforautism.com has finally arrived, please check it out!

Don Short and I founded Heroes For Autism in November, and together with many other people, we have been working night and day to produce something really special. I honestly feel it’s the best work I’ve done, and I’m proud to share it with you.

Tickets are now on sale, and so I’m asking for help. We need to sell 1000 tickets, and this can only be done when we join together.
I am thankful some people have already committed to selling 10 pairs of tickets to benefit this fundraiser. I encourage (implore) you to help out in a similar way. We will gladly recognize on the website anyone who has sold a bulk of tickets.

The show is going to be an amazing night of world class art and music, and it’s going to help a lot of people who deal with the difficulties of autism.
I truly hope you can be part of it in some way.

If you have any thoughts or questions of any kind, please let me know.
Thank you!

********
Autism is the fastest growing disease in America today.
It affects more people than pediatric cancer, diabetes and AIDS combined,
and occurs in all racial, ethnic, and social groups.
The numbers are staggering: 1 in 150 children
The cause is unknown, and there is no cure.

Heroes For Autism is a one-night only, high-profile celebration of art and music in the name of autism.
NBC's Heroes and Autism Speaks have come together to host a silent auction, featuring mixed media artwork
by its cast and crew alongside artwork by artists who have autism. The evening includes a VIP cocktail
hour and performances Wendy and Lisa’s all-star band, and the celebrity Band From TV, featuring Hugh Laurie, Greg Grunberg, and James
Denton, among others. The star studded event, scheduled for April 19th at the Avalon, is designed to raise
awareness about the epidemic. All money raised will go to Autism Speaks, with a focus on art therapy.

Webbbbbbb'd Out

2009-03-08T05:51:00.000-07:00

I've been looking at websites for the past 5 hours and I'm tired as hell. The Evangenitals are working on a wild new website to launch with our super-awesome new EP that we're working on, and I decided to take a trek through cyber-space to see what some of my favorite bands were doing, as well as some of my not-so-favorite bands who happen to be getting a sh!t-ton of traffic. :-)

Many a website hath passed before my moist eye holes in the past few horas. On the "bands I love" roster, there's David Byrne's really cool site, the B52's semi-awesome colorful site, Ween's new "cleaned-up" site, Gogol Bordello's insane den of navigation, Devendra Banharts incredibly frustrating but kind fun front page, LOW's clean-cut mormon temple of cyberspace, Shitake Monkey's awesome corner of wilderness that I could get lost in for a good while, Weezer's straightforward business, and Beck's completely baffling art piece (that keeps re-directing me to the current album site).

Britney Spears has the highest traffic band website in the friggin' WORLD, it seems. It's a bit of a mess with ads and such, but has a personal feel, decent layout, and the whole she-bang is powered by Buzznet. The next most popular site, so far as I can tell from Alexa, is U2. A much cleaner aesthetic, emphasis on black, gray, and red. Decent.

And while we're on the U2 tip... I'm kinda reeling from their usage of a Sugimoto photo for their new album. I friggin' LOVE Sugimoto with the quiet intensity of a deceptively dormant volcano that's about to burst on an unsuspecting village. I have not yet forgiven Bono for his appearance in that "Across the Universe" movie impersonating some Ken Kesey wannabe and singing "I Am The Walrus".... that movie was completely ludicrous and made me want to chew off my own toes. I actually had a dream the other night wherein I was telling Julie Taymor just HOW awful I thought the film was. This, of course, would be truly bad form in REAL life as we are on the Board of Directors for the Collaboration Foundation. Bottom line is that the film has truly scarred me in some deep way that I don't yet understand. Perhaps I'm just still in shock and it was actually brilliant. Doubtful, but possible... and it's always a fine idea (for me) to suspend any final judgment, as my mind frequently changes along with my moods. If I saw the movie on whilst on the rag, I'm sure I'd love it. And cry :-)

I am officially fried. Happy daylight savings to you all!

Love,
Juli

Backstage

2009-02-28T00:44:00.001-08:00

I'm sitting on a stool in the kitchen of the Juke Joint so I don't have to hang out in the crowd between mt songs at the Cash'd Out show tonight. I'm always torn as to whether or not to mingle... I really enjoy being in/around the crowd, I love the feedback and the energy (and the bursts of adoration don't hurt) however, its terrible for my voice, as I end up talking (read: SCREAMING) during the whole show. By the end, my throat is swollen and sore and mad at me.

There's something magical about having a backstage. I really like getting to appear and disappear between my tunes, and being able to rest and focus is a damn good thing. Its a different kind of energy. Having a backstage really makes it feel like SHOWTIME when I walk on the stage. When I have to hang out in the audience then jump up on stage, it feels more like karaoke. :-)

AND when there's a backstage I can do uber-geeky things like BLOG on my BLACKBERRY during the friggin' SHOW!! Hehe...

Playing Musical Life

2009-02-11T21:00:00.001-08:00

I'm at the Good Hurt in Venice, watching Evangenitals bassist Keith Lubow play REALLY LOUD old punk with his *other* band, The Bloody Brains. I got out here early in a beat-the-traffic carpool scenario with Evangenitals drummer David Hurlin and we passed the pre-show time perusing fine used books in the Sam Johnson bookshop, right across the street from the Good Hurt. I found a stash of incredible Swedenborg books, which brought back memories of my obsession with August Strindberg back when I was at CalArts.

Earlier today, I got the keys for the Evangenitals new 24/7 lockout rehearsal space in Echo Park at the newly built (and still under construction), sure to be hot-spot Bedrock Studios. Its an exciting time for the Evangenitals... Or course, aint it always?

This past weekend we laid down 6 tracks for a new demo. Listening to the unfinished mixes, I'm already excited as hell. We recorded with Tracy Chisholm at Del Boca Vista studios in South Pasadena, and the whole band now has the recording bug. I'm thinking the Moby Dick EP is our next move, and soon. It was a total joy to spend ridiculously long hours in the studio with the gang, and I can't wait to do more more MORE!!!

Its awesome to be here in support Keith in his "loud" band... in which he is the youngest member by a good 30 year margin. I am really glad I brought earplugs, as I want to keep my hearing orbs in good shape for a long, long time whilst we skip down the wild and wonderful road of this musical life. :-)

God Bless Henry Miller!

"The way of life is towards fulfillment, however, wherever it may lead. To restore a human being to the current of life means not only to impart self-confidence but also an abiding faith in the process of life. A man who has confidence in himself must have confidence in other, confidence in the fitness and rightness of the universe. When a man is thus anchored he ceases to worry about the fitness of things, about the behavior of his fellow men, about right and wrong and justice and injustice. If his roots are in the current of life he will float on the surface like a lotus and he will blossom and give forth fruit. He will draw his nourishment from above and below; he will send his roots down deeper and deeper, fearing neither the depths nor the heights. The life that is in him will manifest itself in growth, and growth is an endless, eternal process. he will not be afraid of withering, because decay and death are part of growth. As a seed he began and as a seed he will return. Beginnings and ending are only partial steps in the eternal process. The process is everything... the way... the Tao.

The way of life! A grand expression. Like saying Truth. There is nothing beyond it... it is all."

Happy Merry Holy Days from the Evangenitals!

2008-12-27T16:21:00.000-08:00

As we near the end of '08 and the beginning of the greatest year to date in Evangenitals history ('09, baby!) I wanted to tell you all how much we love you.

Yes, we love YOU. A lot. :-)

I hope you are having a good holiday season and enjoying it in the way you like. Salted, peppered, fried, grilled, sweet, spicy, bold, beautiful... whatever your preference is. Yum!

As we don't have your mailing address, we thought we'd send you web presents this year, and all next year long, in the form of BLOGS!

** David Hurlin is writing an AWESOME drumming blog!
http://drumtheory.blogspot.com

** Lisa Dee is blogging again!
http://lisadeedle.blogspot.com

** And I'm writing a new blog about all the insane books I'm reading while working on my PhD dissertation in Philosophy!
http://onebookoneweek.blogspot.com

We The Evangenitals are excited about the coming of '09 -- we've got a new album on the horizon, some exciting developments in the booking & management departments, and the loving feelings just keep getting bigger and better and more more more.

We all felt pretty blessed to be able to spend Christmas Eve playing music together at the home of two of our biggest fans (Jain and Eliot Sekular), and we are REALLY excited about closing out the year with a show at Mr T's Bowl on December 30th!

Details are here: http://www.evangenitals.com/calendar.html

It's our Eve of New Year's Eve party and we're pulling out all the stops with new songs, new instrumentation, the biggest ensemble so far, and boundless optimism as we trudge nearer to 2012! :-)

Love, love, LOVE!!!!!!

Henry Bermudez: The Sweat Chronicles

2008-12-06T04:42:00.001-08:00

Evangenitals lead guitarist Henry Bermudez is a WORKING MAN. When he steps on the stage to play guitar, he gives it all he's got. And then some. And he sweats. Seriously. The man SWEATS; hot beads of pure passion and sonic steam. It's a spectacle of hydrological transformation that never fails to amaze me. I've seen the guy play with 3 bands in the same night, in a row, and every set he's soaking wet. Freshly wet. It seems he's ALWAYS got more sweat to give. It's incredible.

So, I thought I'd present the following pictorial as proof of this pheromone phenomenon, and as a tribute to this phenomenal guitar player. Ladies and Gentlemen, Henry Bermudez!

Image 1:

Note the un-sweaty shirt. This is clearly the beginning of the show.

Image 2:
The smallest of spots are starting to show. Check out those mallets David Hurlin's got!

Image 3:
Note the pronounced center sweat spot, and the beginning of the "wild hair" syndrome.

Image 4:
Wild Hair is officially on the loose. Hurlin and Lubow are focused on the business at hand.

Image 5:
Note the body and bounce of the dark locks; the hair is not yet completely drenched. The shirt, however, is a different story.

Image 6:
Now the hair is both wet AND wild.

Image 7:
Final stages of a full-on soggy frenzy. Glory be!

So, let's all raise a glass of cool, precious bodily fluid-replenishing water to this fine young man who brings so much mojo to the art-country hillbilly love punk rock revolution good time gang known as The Evangenitals. Hip hip, hooray!

And be sure to give him a big sloppy hug after the next show. It's quite the experience. :-)

The Evangenitals Reside at Mr T's Bowl

2008-12-04T17:53:00.000-08:00

For the past few months, The Evangenitals have been making a steady habit of playing at Mr T's Bowl in Highland Park and the consistency is working a number on my heart strings. I really do love that joint. Mr T's Bowl is where the Evangenitals first stepped on the stage (at Arlo's Open Mic night) and sung our first tender tunes in public. It's where we got our first "big break" (booked to headline at El Cid by promoter Michael Anderson), and it's where we've met, made, and converted some of the most dedicated Evangenitals friends and fans imaginable.

In the olden days, all of the Evangenitals (there were only 3 of us at that time) used to live in Highland Park, IN THE SAME APARTMENT BUILDING, which made band practice a breeze & Mr T's Bowl was just a few blocks up the street. Almost every night of the week, you could find one or more of the Evangenitals at the Bowl, either playing the open mic, on the night's lineup, or supporting our friend's bands like The Natural Disasters, Fascinoma, Unpoppable, Killsonic, Cousin Junebug, Eagle and Talon, Cat Hair Ensemble, Artichoke, Ukefink, Hidden... it was a real family affair.

Then manifest destiny kicked in and we started venturing West, exploring new neighborhoods and venues all over Los Angeles, from the Derby in Los Feliz to the Knitting Factory where we opened for Trainwreck. We were regulars at Highland Grounds for a bit before it closed down, and even made it all the way to the ocean to play at O'Brien's Pub in Santa Monica. Everywhere we have played has it's charms, though none of 'em have the same home-baked feeling of Mr T's Bowl.

Well, some months ago, the booker of the bowl, Gus, decided that the Evangenitals had drifted away from our 'ol home base for far too long and it was time to get back to our roots. We, roots-loving folks that we are, were in total agreement and made a commitment to play the first Wednesday of every month. It has been good, and I hope we keep on going into '09 with it.

If you don't know the joint, not only is Mr T's Bowl an infamous and important staple in the Los Angeles music scene ("Beck used to play there!" is one of the more popular pieces of evidence toward it's cool/less factor)... the sound man, Arlo, is one of the best in the business, and plays some of the greatest in-between-acts tunes imaginable. For example, after we closed out our set last night with a rousing version of Gasoline (I even did a cartwheel into the audience, it was THAT rousing!) he turned on John Coltrane's version of "My Favorite Things".

Hells yells! :-)

So, as the year begins to come to a close, it seems that I'm having a kind of nostalgia that goes both backward and forward, simultaneously. I'm loving where the band has been, all the adventures we've had (like the epic Road to Oprah tour with The 1 Second Film!) and I'm REALLY excited about the FUTURE!

I adore the current incarnation of the Evangenitals, the ways in which we are growing, evolving, changing, the new music we are making, the revisioning of old songs, the addition of new instrumentation and players, and especially the LOVE that keeps bubbling up, flowing through me, and spouting out like a big 'ol fountain of joy. I dig it. And it seems I'm not the ONLY one that is digging it... word on the street is that we are pretty cool.

What's your word?

Evangenitals - Gasoline 11/25/08

All my lovin,
Juli

An Evangenital in Spaceland

2008-12-02T21:47:00.001-08:00

*** THIS JUST IN ***

Evangenitals drummer David Hurlin is going to be drumming with EZRA REICH (http://ping.fm/f4xDC) TONIGHT (Tuesday Dec 2nd) at 11pm.

Since I can't be there (I'm in San Diego recording Johnny Cash/June Carter tunes with Cash'd Out) I'm hoping YOU can go and see this rare spectacle. :-)

Ezra Reich's music is (in my opinion) like John Maus arm-wrestling David Lynch in a Technicolor water ballet. Yes, you can quote me on that.

Regardless of how you felt about the 80's, you will be sure to appreciate how friggin' TIGHT this act is. I'm talking ORCHESTRATED. With STRINGS, man.

So go do it, dig it, and support our dear David Hurlin on his fantastic voyage. :-)

Much love,
Juli Crockett & the Evangenitals

A Poem

2008-11-20T00:48:00.001-08:00

There is a statue in Baltimore, MD of Edgar Allan Poe in which he is portrayed with an enormous penis, tightly packed in his slacks,
bulging & unmistakable.
I wondered, upon beholding this vision, if it was perchance stipulated in his will that he be portrayed thusly,
in perpetuity.

Hello!

In order to serve YOU, our dear musical connoisseur, in the BEST possible way, we are asking that you take part in this brief survey.

YOUR ANSWERS could truly help us to determine our FUTURE... and that's pretty cool. :-)

** Need a sonic refresher? You can preview the Evangenitals albums here: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/evangenitals2

We'll leave it at that for now, as I don't want to overwhelm you with questions. You can expect to be getting some more short surveys like this one in the near future, though, as we have some other tricks up our sleeves... like a new website to design! :-)

I would also like to remind you that I, Juli Crockett, lead singer & songwriter for the Evangenitals, am a REAL GIRL and it is truly I, Juli Crockett, who writes these emails to YOU, dear heart, and I really do CARE about HOW you're doing, WHAT you're THINKING and FEELING, and would LOVE to hear your opinions on ALL THINGS related to the Evangenitals, and even things that are NOT related to the Evangenitals.

Change is in the air, it's happening, it's everywhere, permeating the pores, in all directions, and it's EXCITING. I'm excited. I'm friggin' delighted.

In other news, this new age of love that is being ushered in has made us realize that we're really not the Battle of the Bands type. No more aggression. Only love. Tough love, sure. Dirty hillbilly love, hell yeah. Tender "hand is a talon" love, bring it on. No more winners and losers in the New Paradigm. Just share-ers and lover-ers. So, no show in Hermosa Beach on November 9th. We'll have something lovely to offer you soon. :-)

I just found these videos of the Evangenitals at the Eagle Rock Music Festival on YouTube. The sound is pretty awful, however, if you play the album you can watch us prance about and get the feeling of a real, live Evangenitals show. :-)

Holy Moly! We're heading out to West Hollywood TONIGHT - Wednesday October 22nd!

The Evangenitals are making our first appearance at the Rainbow Bar and Grill, debuting new songs and spreading the alt-country hillbilly love punk rock revolution in sonic form on the West side of town!

Rainbow Bar and Grill
@ 9pm SHARP
9015 Sunset Blvd
West Hollywood, CA 90069

Yes, we're a little nervous to be treading our tender steps out into Glam Rock central, so it would be AMAZING if you could be there to support us! Seriously, we need your love and bodily presence. There is such a thing as "minimum draw" on the West Side of town. Help!

Cover charge is $10, but if you mention THE EVANGENITALS it's only $7!!! Hell yeah! Savings!

For those of you who are far, far from Los Angeles, Brettsky just posted a new blast-from-the-past video of the Evangenitals playing at Universal Citywalk for your cyber-enjoyment:

Please watch, rate, comment, and all that good stuff.
Weeee! :-)

It was quite a fun and weird show with costumes and improvisers and great crowd enthusiasm. We played with Mahi Gato & Piel and the whole evening was totally Boss.

I'm working on editing some video that was shot of the evening and it will be appearing on the Evangenitals YouTube Channel very soon!

Evangenitals drummer David Hurlin has started a new music-focused blog called The New Paradigm and I highly recommend checking it out.

His first entry, Manifesto of the New Paradigm, is insightful, inspiring, and funny as hell... which is just the kind of mad-lib combo-punch that I like to receive right in the brain. Kudos!

2008-09-18T15:44:00.000-07:00

Look Who's VLOGGING Now...

Evangenitals Juli Crockett and David Hurlin have entered the wild world of VLOG-making.

Tune in, turn on, and get weird:

2008-09-10T14:46:00.000-07:00

Hiya.

Seeing as many of the Evangenitals extended family of fans, friends, and free-loving frolickers are spread out all over the globe, and/or really busy, and/or broke or somehow otherwise unable to make it out to our live shows (mainly occurring in Los Angeles) I have gone ahead and posted a few tracks from last night's performance at Molly Malones on the Evangenitals website for your listening pleasure!

http://www.evangenitals.com/music.html

You can even download the tracks for FREE should you want to listen to them again and again, forever and for aye.

This fine evening of music featured me, Juli Crockett (Lead Vocals, Rhythm Guitar) with:
Henry Bermudez: Lead Guitar
Lisa Dee: Vocals, Tambourine, Kazoo
David Hurlin: Drums, Shakers, Percussion
Keith Lubow: Bass is the Place

In other news, we just found out that we're going to be closing the show at the Eagle Rock Music Festival on Saturday October 4th. We will be playing on the main "Emerging" stage, with video projections and other theatrics, at 11pm. The last act! Yee-haw!

We'll be getting our act TIGHT and RIGHT by working it out at our home-base -- the infamous Mr T's Bowl in Highland Park -- for the next 3 Tuesdays, hosting music nights with various music-making friends.

Check out the show dates here:
http://www.evangenitals.com/calendar.html

Now, if you have any suggestions for our Eagle Rock Music Fest set list, I'd love to hear 'em! We only get one chance to make a first impression on the throngs of people that attend this Fest! So tell me... What made YOU fall in love with the Evangenitals? What do YOU want to hear belted through the streets of Eagle Rock? Let me know! I care! :-)

Much love,
Juli & the Evangenitals

In Your Heart: Always

2008-09-07T05:56:00.000-07:00

What an awesome night...

Lisa Dee and I went to see Evangenitals gift from the Lord and bassist (among a multitude of other instruments-player) Keith Lubow play with Deborah McColl at South Pasadena Music. Her tunes were sweet and deep and philosophical and heartbreaking and when she crooned "it's raining, it's raining, but we're connected now" my heart did in fact break open and the tears began to flow. It was such a beautiful set I had to water it like a flower. :-)

The next song, she announced, was co-written by her and her lover, soul mate, and guitarist of 15 years (Keith's dad, guitarist Patrick Lubow). They started the song a month before he died, and they finished it, together, she said, a month after he died. Gorgeous. Lovely. Love. Straight up Rumi and Shams. I dig it.

You can download the song "We're Connected" for free, here: We're Connected mp3.

Post-show, I went back to Keith's mom's house (she and Deborah are both huge fans and supporters of the Evangenitals) and we ended up having an impromptu all-requests Evangenitals hootenanny, with Keith and I on dueling guitars. I, of course, am no match for his ludicrous multi-instrumentalist abilities. It's awe-inspiring how many different things he can play: bass, guitar, mandolin, banjo, trumpet, trombone, ukulele, harmonica... and that's just what was available in the room! I'm sure there's more.

Accompanying us were violinist Andrea Baker (formerly of Evangenitals pal-band Shaped Like a Gun! Small world!) playing the mandolin, her husband (a composer who's name is totally escaping me) playing the uke, and James Graham, mandolin-player and vocalist for Deborah McColl, plucking around on the banjo. Nashville guitar genius Gary Talley of The Box Tops was in the room and listening... however, he was on to drinking wine and off of playing for the night.

We did a ton of Evangenitals songs, including a bad-ass version of The Hole with Keith on the Trumpet, and some really awesome covers of June Carter's "Tall Lover Man", Johnny Cash's "Long Black Veil" (with 4 part harmonies!), and Bob Dylan's "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight". Good times, and such an honor to get to hang out and harmonize with such incredible musicians.

(FYI: There's actually a pretty dope video of Keith, myself, and Evangenitals drummer David Hurlin playing the new Klezmer-punk version of The Hole atop The 1 Second Film's Road to Oprah bus with iJustine and Brookers here: Evangenitals, iJustine, & The 1 Second Film.)

At 2:30am I sold an Evangenitals CD to a nice man visiting from Australia who said that my vocal stylings reminded him of one of his favorite Australian vocalizing twins, from the band "Johnny Cash Converters" in Melbourne, which is a clever play on words in Australia, where a "Cash Converter" is a sort of high-end thrift shop, he explained. The fact that I am the June Carter in the premier Johnny Cash tribute band Cash'd Out made the associations even more aligned. Then he showed me some Australian currency, which is beautiful, and it even has a little plastic see-through window in it. Transparency in Currency?!? Whaaaat?!?!

My Evangenitals heart was stretched all over the nation tonight, though, as guitarist Henry Bermudez was up in San Francisco playing with Unpopable (one of his many awesome bands) at the wedding of balloon artist Addi Somekh, and David Hurlin is in Fairfield, Iowa getting indoctrinated into a new job at the soon-to-be-launched awesome music site 3mix.com and playing some gigs, tonight's with the Jefferson County Green Band.

The gang will all be back together soon, however, for the Evangenitals Family Hootenanny at Molly Malones on Tuesday September 9th. Hopefully a bunch of folks will come out, as every show I get to play with this current collection of Evangenitals is a spiritual experience and I have a feeling the 9th is going to be a new height of sublimation. It's a feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeling.

In other news, I'm officially, thoroughly, and totally addicted to Twitter, so if you find yourself wondering what I'm doing just about every second of every day... I'm doing my damndest to share it. The MICRO-blogging is, I realize, having an effect on my MACRO-blogging, though. After giving mini-updates all day long via text message, sitting down and committing to a full testimonial of the day has proven rather difficult to muster the enthusiasm for. It seems, however, the trick is to have more ludicrously awesome nights like tonight which make me want to share the love and link every single person place and thing that I encountered for the world to see. I'll do my best to say yes to more of these experiences and keep the news a'flowing.

In the meantimes, however, you can totally follow me on Twitter. :-)

p.s.
You can follow David Hurlin on Twitter, too. :-)

p.p.s.
I love you. You know who you are. Yes... YOU! :-)

This is a blast from the past that was brought to mind while strolling along a surprisingly peaceful and lovely chunk of the LA River today...

Back when I was writing The Dawn of Quixote: Chapter The First and reading lots of Unamuno's Our Lord Don Quixote, I had a sort of Code of Ethics written on my wall which I am reprinting here for your possible enjoyment and edification. If you go so far as to take the word into action, all the better!

The Code:

1. Set Loose a Delirium
2. Commit an Outrage (a Barbarity)
3. Let Your Horse Lead You
4. Fight (Adventures which Befall)
5. Find the Selpulchre (Search)
6. Love (Chaste, from Afar)
7. Assuage Self-Loathing with Self-Annihilation
8. Endure the Inevitable
9. Judge Not (Lest Ye Be Judged)
10. Explore all Caves (Caverns, Crevices)
11. Attack all Puppet Shows
12. Speak Fair to All Goat herders
13. Commend Thy Self to Thy Love and Thy Lord
14. State Your Full Name and Purpose
15. Have Faith
16. Trust Not Thine Eyes, Nor Ears, Nor Tastes
17. Treat All Ladies as Maidens
18. Fear Not
19. Read Until Mad (Delirium)
20. Believe in Fairy Tales, Myths, and All Dieties.
21. Do Not Debate (Debacle) Do not Reason with the Reasoners
22. Face Ridicule

This is from drummer David Hurlin's blog "Dynamics of the Drum-- I loved it so much I figured I'd share it here, too:

**

Playing with the Evangenitals at the Nocturnal Bar in Santa Monica during our Klezmer remix of the infamous song "THE HOLE" which I absolutely love, I was hitting the drums hard. Juli Crockett was belting out her chant "Hole Hole Hole Hole" on the quarter notes and i was smashing my cymbal in accordance with her ferocious chanting. It was a pure stretch of symbiotic rapture, the whole band writhing in a collective exorcism.

In spite of how loud or violent with Joy it got I remained relaxed. I realized that by keeping pure relaxation, the kind of relaxation you feel when you're not playing, by holding that as the foundation of the drumming, then you can explore volume and its various pleasures both quiet and loud to a point.

2008-07-18T02:07:00.000-07:00

on this night, the evangenitals jammed...

it's really late, i'm fresh home from a gig, sleep deprived and hungry, thirsty and in love.

at some moment or other during tonight's show, i experienced a joyous and profound love for every single band member and was filled with genuine child-like GLEE at just how lucky i am to be making music with each and every one of these people

we HARMONIZE. we join in song and make waves. it is collaborative and creative and generative and magical and i'm simply stupid in love with the whole marvelous thing.

the feeling of really, truly being in a band is something i fantasized about as a child and feel absolutely blessed to be experiencing, in burst of vibrating sound and light, on stage and off with the people of the evangenitals.

so yes, all you evangenitals out there, both the ones on stage with me and the ones in the audience who help our music to thrive with your open ears, open hearts, and goooooood energy, thanks for letting me love you. it feels real good to feel good in your direction. :-)

love,

"The Joy Team"

Tonight was a very, very good night for the Evangenitals. Something happened in that room that is important, magical, beautiful, and GOOD. A bubble floated in front of my eyes during Quee Queg, illuminated by a shaft of stage lighting. Henry played the blues, Lisa sang Opera, David joyfully created a collective heartbeat, and Keith's debut with us on the bass filled my backbone with deep, happy thuds of glee.

For the first time tonight, an interpretive-dance gunfight was staged in the audience (can it really be called it an "audience" when they are such a part of the show?) during Sergio by Stodder & Crystal, Laura wore her Evangenitals t-shirt, I could see Albert's smile in the dark, Keith's mom glowed with pride, Kelly Chase of Hammerspace danced, the guys from With a Bible and a Gun nodded in approval (ah, winning the respect of the other band is a great feeling, especially when they are friggin' awesome). Bubbles were blown. Moments were shared. All present were given a nice sonic bath in everlovin' Evangenital joy.

We were given a new nickname... "Team Joy". Thanks Stodder. I like it very much.

Next stop, the INTEGRATRON!

And now, I sleep.

I love you, dear reader, whoever you are, with all my heart. Just because.

Love,
Juli

On Tuesday June 24th (that’s tomorrow!) at 10:30pm The Evangenitals will be debuting a never-before-heard lineup of players at Molly Malone’s, immediately following the hotshot Los Angeles-based Johnny Cash tribute band “With a Bible and a Gun” at 9:30. It will be an awesome night of music, not too late, and it’s only $6 to see it!

(Note: this is not the Johnny Cash tribute band that Evangenital Juli has been singing with. That’s “Cash’d Out” of San Diego)

As a special incentive for attending this exciting show that will feature brand new songs and new versions of old classics, we are offering everyone who tells the doorman you’re there to see the Evangenitals a FREE “last supper” Evangenitals poster. There will also be complimentary bubbles available for your ambient pleasure.

On this glorious night the Evangenitals will feature Henry Bermudez on lead guitar, David Hurlin on drums, and our newest extended-family member Keith Lubow on bass. Lisa Dee will be shocking the world with her vocal harmonies (especially on our new Klezmer-inspired version of The Hole) and I, Juli Crockett, will be loving you with all my heart, whether you can make it to the show or not. Though I really hope you can make it.

Molly Malone’s
575 South Fairfax Ave
Los Angeles, CA 90036
Evangenitals @ 10:30pm
21 & up
$6

p.s.
If anyone is hurting for cash & would like to see the show, we are always in need of a “swag person” to help us with mailing list circulation, cd sales, bubble distribution, etc. If you’d like to volunteer with the Evangenitals for the night, get in free and get some free swag yourself, please let me know!

SAVE THE DATE!

Saturday, June 14th, 2008
@ Room 5 Lounge
143 N LaBrea Ave
Los Angeles CA 90036
11pm
Price: $7

The Evangenitals present: something old, something new, something borrowed, and some blues

This is an important and intimate night for the Evangenitals and I hope you can join us.

First of all, it's the very first time we're playing at this venue, so we'd like to make a good impression - ideally one that makes us look "happening" and "popular".

Secondly, and more importantly, we're going to be debuting a handful of new, never-before-played tunes, as well as taking a stroll down memory lane and playing some key songs from Evangenital history.

It's going to be a stripped-down, intimate, and melodic evening feature Juli Crockett on lead vocals, Lisa Dee on the harmonies, Henry Bermudez on lead guitar, and David Hurlin on the drums.

For those of you who are fans of the slower side of the Evangenitals, this night will surely provide some soul-food for your aching spots. :-)

I sure hope you can make it. We'd love to share this world premier moment with you!

Much love,
Juli & the Genitals

This is going to be an incredible weekend! Here's the scoop...

Evangenitals lead singer Juli Crockett (that's me!) and drummer George Bernardo are driving to Las Vegas tomorrow to perform with our *other* band CASH'D OUT (http://www.myspace.com/cashdout) the world's premier Johnny Cash tribute band, in which I curl my hair and sing the June Carter parts and Georgie, well, he plays the drums!

If you live in Las Vegas (Friday night @ the ICEHOUSE) or Phoenix (Saturday night @ GOATHEAD SALOON) and would like to check us out, write to me! I've got some comp tickets (compliments of the Evangenitals) for the first to respond! :-)

On Sunday morning I'll be jumping on a plane back to LA, where we'll be rockin' the backporch of the Echo from 5:30pm - 9pm during the "Grand Ole Echo" country music review.

It's the record release party for I See Hawks and there is an incredible lineup inside: The Chapin Sisters, Mike Stinson, Old Californio (featuring sometime Evangenitals bassist Jason Chesney on Guitar!?!) and of course I See Hawks.

We're encouraging everyone to bring their banjos, hand claps, whistles, and whatnots and join us for the ultimate hootenanny on the backporch -- right next to the barbecue.

The Grand Ole Echo shows are ALL AGES, they are FREE, and they are TONS of FUN!

And hey, if you can't make it to this one, you can see us THE VERY NEXT NIGHT (Monday June 9th) plugged in at the Bordello (aka the swankest venue in LA) playing with the SPECTACULAR Western-Swing trio "Shotgun Party" from Austin, TX. Full details here:
http://www.evangenitals.com/calendar.html

Here's the details for Sunday:

What: The Grand Ole Echo
Where: The Echo
1822 Sunset Blvd.
Los Angeles (Echo Park), CA 90023
http://www.myspace.com/thegrandoleecho
When: Sunday June 8th from 5PM-9PM
ALL AGES
FREE

Doors open at 5PM and the great music starts at 5:30PM and ends at 9PM, so you can get back home in time to wash your face and say your prayers.

Relax out back on the Echo patio and enjoy the warm summer weather and eat some BBQ with the Evangenitals!

Hello friends of the Genitals!

We are going to be playing a live set of musical goodness on KXLU's Neuz Pollution tonight (Saturday) on KXLU 88.9 and we'd love for you to tune in, turn on, and get down with us from the comfort of wherever you listen to the radio!

The show is from 10:30pm - 12am, and Lisa Dee and I will first be performing with Artichoke and then the Evangenitals will sing you to sleep... or to the club... or serenade whatever Saturday night activity you may be engaging in. Don't worry, we won't judge you... we love you! And we'd like to sing to you on the radio.

You can also tune in online at: www.kxlu.com

Hope to feel you there!

Love,
Juli

Hello, dearest blog reader.

I don't know if you've ever heard of the "Rose City Rocks" Pasadena Music Festival, but that's beside the point. The point IS that the Evangenitals are kicking the festivities off with a FREE show at McMurphy's Irish Tavern in Old Town Pasadena at 9pm on Wednesday May 28th!

It's our first show in what seems like a looooooong time (I had a play about the History of Water to write & direct) and we're itching to spread our musical joy all over the joint. I hope you can join us. It's a pretty early show for a school night... and did I mention that it's FREE???

We'll be rockin' an uber-unique lineup on this glorious night: our dear George Bernardo (Cash'd Out) is back with us on drums, David Hurlin (Artichoke) is chiming in on Tablas, Henry Bermudez (Unpopable, etc) is ripping up the lead guitar, and extra-special guest Mike Ibarra (Killsonic, El Haru Kuroi, Cat Hair Ensemble) will join us on the UPRIGHT BASS!!! I don't know if I can handle the excitement.

So, yes... I hope you can make it. I've missed your face. Seriously. I'd like to hug you. And sing to you. :-)

The details:
Wednesday May 28th @ 9pm
FOR FREE!
Evangenitals (w/ The Jane Does & Kingsley)
@ McMurphys Irish Tavern
72 N Fair Oaks Ave
Pasadena, CA 91103

And if you're too far away, fear not! The Evangenitals are going to be playing a LIVE SHOW on the RADIO on Saturday May 31st that you can listen to WHEREVER you are thanks to the INTERNET!

The Evangenitals & Artichoke on KXLU 88.9
10:30pm - 12am (Artichoke plays first, then the Evangenitals tear the roof off)
Listen LIVE at: http://www.kxlu.com

Greetings, friends of the Evangenitals!

We have several supremely awesome bass players in our extended Evangenital family. The thing with supremely talented bass players is that they are also ridiculously BUSY. So, we're looking to bring some new talent into the fold, as we have a TON of shows and opportunities on the horizon that would sound ever-so-sweeter with delicious bass accompaniment.

Please check out the following "ad" for a bass player and pass it along to anyone that may fit the bill!

**

Have you seen our Bassist?

Fun, eclectic, alt-country/freak folk/cow-punk Los Angeles-based band The Evangenitals (www.evangenitals.com) are in search of a dedicated, talented, flexible and sweet bass player. By sweet we mean not only your mad bass skills; personality counts with us too! If you haven't heard of us, we are an up-and-coming alt-country/indie rock sensation, breaking boundaries and crossing musical borders. Influences include everything from Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline and Willie Nelson to Devo, Ween, Low, The Kinks, Beatles, and Captain Beefheart. We are seeking a bassist with an open mind and open heart who is gig-hungry, travel-ready, spiritually principled, loving, funny, and is open to lots of different musical genres. The Evangenitals have an extended family of part-time/full-time band members and we are in need of more bass players in our stable of fine steeds. Honesty, kindness and no heavy drugs please.

To get to know us better, please take a look at our website (http://www.evangenitals.com) and Myspace page (http://www.myspace.com/evangenitals) and see if you respond to our sounds. You can also check out some videos of the Evangenitals on YouTube here: http://youtube.com/results?search_query=evangenitals&search_type=

If you like what you see and hear, ask yourself the following questions:
Does your schedule allow for weekly rehearsals, as well as about 3 regular shows a month, with a couple more spontaneous shows thrown in? Are you available for not only rock gigs at local LA clubs, but ready to do live soundtrack for experimental theater, recording for indie movies, a few short tours a year, festivals, private parties, hipster weddings, and whatever else the abundant universe seems to throw at us? Are you ready to rumble?

Then heed the call and contact us!

Please send an introduction to you and your work either here on Myspace or at: info@evangenitals.com

We'll check it out and set up an appointment to make some sweet music together!

Cheers,
Rev Juli & the Genitals

Good news, friends of my Genitals!

The Evangenitals song "Hello" from our album Everlovin is going to be Track of the Day - all day long - on May 12th over on GarageBand.com!

Please pay a visit, rate the song, and show your love for this sweet little ditty that's rockin' and shockin' the nation. :-)

Love,
Juli

Greetings my friends.

I have made a play. It is called "The History of Water" and it is being presented at the 24th Street Theater as part of their Saturday Explorer Series... meaning that it's a cutting edge piece of theatrical joy that's recommended for ages 7 & up. Bring the family, bring your mom, bring you lover... there's something for everything in this erratic, dramatic exploration of the substance that makes up most of our planet, and most of our bodies.

The piece features performers Shaughn Buchholz, Lisa Dee, Andrea LeBlanc, and Patrick Ian Moore with musical accompaniment by JP Houston and a very special musical cameo by Artichoke's Timothy Sellers.

There is one show only this time round, so this is indeed the time to see the History of Water!

Reservations are HIGHLY recommended.

Cheers,
Juli

Evangenitals TONIGHT!

The brave and fearless Evangenitals are just about to take the trek up to Canoga Park to play at the Verity Room, which I hear is a nice place... though it's a LOT further than we're used to going for a random gig. When the good folks of Artichoke asked me if the Evangenitals wanted to play the joint, I assumed that the joint was in Los Angeles... most likely east side-ish. Well, I assumed WRONG! So, now we're carpooling it up there to see if we know anybody in the Canoga Park area. Hope so. :-)

Here's the details if anyone is feeling adventurous:

There are exciting things going on in Evangenital-land, and a LOT of them. This weekend is a Nexus of sorts, with 3 shows happening on one night - none of them Evangenitals shows - yet all of them Evangenital-related! Let me explain...

Evangenitals lead singer Juli Crockett (that's me!) has just landed a new gig singing the June Carter Cash parts in the greatest Johnny Cash tribute band ever - Cash'd Out. (http://www.myspace.com/cashdout) Evangenitals drummer George Bernardo has been drumming with them for the past year, and this Saturday night - April 19th at 11pm - I will having my debut performance with Cash'd Out at the "Belly Up" in Solana Beach, CA. If you happen to be in that part of town, I would LOVE to have some friendly faces in the crowd cheering me on!

At the SAME TIME that night, Evangenitals crooner Lisa Dee will be joining our seemingly joined-at-the-hip buddy band ARTICHOKE (http://www.myspace.com/artichoketheband) at MOLLY MALONES for a sure-to-be-awesome show of bumble bee-filled joy. So if you're in THAT part of town, I highly recommend it. (If I weren't singing with Cash'd Out that night, I'd be performing with Artichoke too!)
AND... down at the iO WEST on Hollywood Blvd, Evangenitals flier artist and videographer Patrick Ian Moore will be performing long-form improv with HAMMERSPACE (http://www.myspace.com/hammerspace_improv) - a group that I, Juli Crockett, am normally a part of, yet I simply can't be in three places at once at 11pm on April 19th! Not yet, anyhow! So... if you like to laugh and happen to be in THAT part of town, GO SEE HAMMERSPACE! IT'S FREE!

And if none of this works for you, fear not! The Evangenitals (yes, the REAL band) are playing on April 21st at the Verity Room in Canoga Park... and we would love to see you there. Details on that show are here: http://www.evangenitals.com/calendar.html

So, here's the summary for Saturday April 19th, all at 11pm:

Evangenital Juli as June Carter with Georgie on drums in Cash'd Out:
Belly Up Tavern
143 S. Cedros Ave
Solana Beach, California 92075

Evangenitals in Austin - The Photos

Evangenitals in Austin
Originally uploaded by juliocrockett

I finally posted some photos from our recent trip to Austin and SXSW on Flickr. Huzzah! Video is coming soon, as our friend Chris Haro has been chopping away at clips from Izzy Cox's performance (check out YouTube, he's put about 6 different videos of her performance up so far), next he'll be putting up the Henry Bermudez solo set, and then the Evangenitals.

Unfortunately, he ran out of battery power and didn't get the Artichoke and Clock Hands Strangle sets on tape. Oh well... they shall live on in my memory, and any of y'all who live in Los Angeles can check out Artichoke on April 19th at Molly Malones!

All in all, the trip to Austin was a much needed spiritual journey into a very musical land and I can't wait to hit the road with this crew again.
