Evangenitals Holiday Bundle Sale!

Happy December from the Evangenitals!

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! :-)

In an effort to spread the love loud and proud throughout the universe, I've put together a special package for Evangenitals fans: The Evangenitals XXXmas Bundle!  It's a ridiculous deal, and super cute to boot.

Here's what you get:

• 1 copy of the Evangenitals EP
  
• 1 copy of the Everlovin' album
  
• 1 T-shirt (S, M, L, XL, 2XL)
  
• 1 autographed gig poster
  
• Stickers
  

and as a special BONUS item...

• the ultra-rare, homemade, handmade Evangina album "Peas"
  

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!

This is a time-limited offer. Cut off date to get these out in time for Christmas (if that's what your aiming for) is Friday December 17th. If you want it for the New Year.... have at it! We'll keep sending 'em out until the 1st of the year. :-)

Truly, honestly, deeply, and passionately.... THANK YOU for helping us to do what we love. This whole thing wouldn't work without you.

Proud to be an Evangenital

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

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

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

1. I Just Forgot
2. F*ck 'em All
3. Hey Y'all
4. Hello
5. Hard Luck
6. Bad Town
7. The Work Song
8. Gasoline
9. Quee Queg
10. 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

"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

A Cry for Help. Your Help. :-)

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

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!

Happy Anniversay, Henry Bermudez

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

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?

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)

Juli Crockett (lead singer, songwriter, founder of the Evangenitals)
George Bernardo (drummer, now with Cash'd Out)

Evangenitals on Facebook

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!
