The Evan&%$*^@s were once a fictitious band - a fib on a phony website born to amuse ourselves and maybe a few friends. On a whim, founders Juli Crockett, Lisa Dee, and Brett Lyda (who all worked at the same sex toy company in L.A.) brought the ghost to life and debuted a handful of "hillbilly truck-stop lullabies" for Arlo's open mic at the infamous Mr T's Bowl. The crowd response was fanatical and the path was then clear. Remarkably, in just a few short months the Evan&%$*^@s emerged as bonified headliners, packing houses and making converts, young and old, every inch of the way.
