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

Evangenitals NW Tour Diary Day 1

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

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! :-)

A Cat's Life....

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

"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

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.
