The Evangenitals were once a fictitious band - a fib on a phony website born to amuse ourselves and maybe a few friends. On a whim, founders Juli Crockett, Lisa Dee, and Brett Lyda (who all worked at the same sex toy company in L.A.) brought the ghost to life and debuted a handful of "hillbilly truck-stop lullabies" for Arlo's open mic at the infamous Mr T's Bowl. The crowd response was fanatical and the path was then clear. Remarkably, in just a few short months the Evangenitals emerged as bonified headliners, packing houses and making converts, young and old, every inch of the way. The addition of bassist Jeff "gimme some sugar" Jones ratified the divine balance of Evangender- two dudes, two singing chicks, 3 nylon-string guitars, and a whole lotta loving! Then they went one step further, and beyond, with the addition of master skin-beater George Bernardo, and sometimes-genital Dave "Salad" Salardino on the banjo and mandolin. The eclectic life mix of this mad band is delicious: Juli is an undefeated professional boxer & ordained minister, Lisa Dee a trained opera singer, Jeff Jones a skateboarding ping pong master, Georgie can make you smile with a wink of his eye, and Brett... well, we call him Mr Fantastic.

Ladies and gents... this is the goodness.
