Kovenant

Christian country & western/rock band playing the church in the somewhat controversial "Alone Again Natura-Diddily" episode of animated comedy The Simpsons (first aired 13 February 2000). The episode is a bit controversial, since they kill off Ned's wife because voice actress Maggie Roswell wanted more $. Folk singer Shawn Colvin stars as the singing and talking voice of lead singer Rachel Jordan. The band's bass player was originally in Satanica. The band also lost their drummer to a pentacostal ska band, and are heading out on the Monsters of Christian Rock tour.
