And the award goes to....

Oh... my.... lord.

We just won a couple of "Reviewers Picks" awards for the Evangina song "Love You Forever" over on GarageBand.com

It seems the powers that be have seen fit to grace us with the honors of "Best Female Vocals in Acoustic" for the week of Nov 14th, 2005, and "Best Lyrics in Acoustic" for the week of Nov 14th, 2005 as well.

Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle. Ain't that sweet?

In other news, Julio's mom is coming to town, and she's damn excited about it! Mom Crockett will be in town for the Evangenitals show at Mr T's Bowl on November 20th, so if you've ever found yourself asking from whence this ball of cosmic fire, otherwise known as Juli Crockett, came hither from... well, you can meet the source and portal on Sunday night.

For Lisa's portal information, you will have to consult a magic 8 ball.

In even more news, Lisa and Juli have been secretly plotting to move to New York City. Details forthcoming.

Can you feel the Power?

Boy oh boy, it's feeling real nice to be an evangina girl right about now! Things are just warm and fuzzy all over. I can't believe it!

After preparing myself for the worst over at GarageBand.com, we've actually gotten a couple of love-letters and new fans and sweet sentiments from the folks who are listening to our simple song. It's beautiful! Hearts are melting! Squishy bits are being touched! We're almost up to the halfway mark in the rankings! It's very exciting and fun. I'm loving it.

And then, I get an email today from the ladies at Double G Magazine asking us, Evangina, the lovestruck girl duo sublime, to play at their 1st Issue celebration/fundraiser in Echo Park on December 3rd.*

And what did we say.... We said YES! Yes, yes, YES!

Are you listening, Universe? Our answer is YES! Whatever treats you have in store... YES! Whatever twists of fate and surprises.... YES! We are listening, we are ready, we are willing. We are Evangina!

Attention Myspace Users! You can be a friend to Double G Magazine! Here is the link: http://www.myspace.com/doublegmag Do eeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

*DISCLAIMER:
Juli and Lisa are not lesbian lovers, nor are we lesbians.
We have, of course, both had our drunken escapades
(not with each other)
and we are very big fans of the female form.
No one knows what the future holds,
and Julio has long been suspected of "swinging both hither and yon",
however, for the time being, we are very much "GLB Friendly"
and always willing to show up for the cause.

divide and conquer

Evangina has just entered our first "song contest" over at GarageBand.com (http://www.garageband.com/artist/evangina)

Now, we have no expectation of winning any such contest, however, it is of course a dramatic act to simply put something so love sick and simple out there in the fierce world of GarageBand music and reviews.

Bo Bice, the beloved second-placer of the last season of American Idol, was a GarageBand music posting participant. I don't know if any of his bands ever won in any of their categories, but GarageBand certainly emblazoned the front page of their site with his image when he made it into the final stretch on American Idolatry. Did they ever!

And this, my friends, is similar to our tactics. Put the song out there, let it be torn apart by the clawed beasts and toothed boars, and then, someday, down the line, when by a most bizarre twist of fate lisa dee and me become America's Sweethearts for a fine, fine fifteen minutes... then, my friends, THEN we will have our glory day on the front page of GarageBand.com!

Till then, you could do something nice for the Gina Girls and visit us over there on GarageBand. It's free to join the site, listen to songs, and do reviews. If you do a hella reviews, you can even EARN the credit to post your OWN vulnerable musical stylings and expose you soft underbelly to the hounds of hell.
