The Evangenitals, founded by playwright/director Juli Crockett and opera/jazz singer Lisa Dee, features Henry Bermudez on lead guitar, fiddler Andrea Baker, Ari DeSano on accordion, drummer Kristy McInnis, and Nathan Phelps currently doing duty on the upright bass.
They are an alt-country hillbilly love punk rock revolution of the freak folk/Americana variety made flesh for your listening pleasure on a quixotic crusade in the key of life hell-bent on breaking all the world’s hearts open.
Filled with an insatiable desire to explore new forms of musical instrumentation and arrangements, the Evangenitals take listeners on a journey of passion and creative freedom, embracing all of life as source material, from the mundane to the sublime.
The Evangenitals were midwifed in a defunct bowling alley in the gritty Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, where they gave their first performance for a small mixed group of rehab refugees and listless drunks from an adjoining bar. Since then, the band has recorded three albums, toured the U.S. in a bus of dubious reliability with The 1 Second Film, appearing at scores of clubs from Los Angeles to Georgia, New Orleans to New York. Wherever the band has appeared, a cult following has sprouted like mushrooms after a soft but persistent rain.
The Evangenitals are touring the California coast in early 2010, with shows scheduled in San Francisco, Big Sur, Santa Cruz, Ocean Beach, Carlsbad, Solvang, Ocean Beach, San Luis Obispo, Joshua Tree, Las Vegas and Bakersfield. The band plans to reach out to more of the US in the summer & early fall.
The band is available for contact and interviews through email at [email protected] or by telephone at 323-251-9645. More info on The Evangenitals, including bios, press kits, photos, and music and video clips can be found at http://www.evangenitals.com.
