Milenia? Melina? Malinia? & Fonky Baldheads

okay, sorry if this should be in another forum, but does anyone remember the group called Milinia or Melinia or something like that? They opened for Prince in kansac city, not sure which tour, and i think they sang some backing vocals on Rainbow Children, "thers a place i want to go, where the milk and honey flows..." or words to that effect
does anyone know them, heard them, know where to find them and if they have an album? also, where r the fonky or funky or whatever bald heads or bald hedz or whatever? love "passing her name" specially when Prince came on stage with them to groove a bit

lastly, have a wonderful day every1

from kansas city, kansas
wishing u all heaven

They were called Millennia. They opened for Prince for the launch party for NPGMC here in Chicago back in 2001. I do not believe they nor the Fonky Baldheads (also performing here that same night) have an album.

Their name: Milenia

This is their album:

http://cdbaby.com/cd/milenia

The text suggests that Prince had involvement in the work, but there's no evidence to support this.

I didn't know Kirky j was in The Fonky Bald Heads?

So was DVS, wasnt he on Daisy Chain?

See, the whole 2001 leg of the H&R tour was SO TRYING TO BE a rehash of the 1999 tour, you know, how he had Vanity 6 then The Time, well onthis tour he had Melinia then FBH opening for him...

Niyoki was in Milenia also. It sounds like she could have been the one singing lead on Everywhere.

Prince has a writing credit on "Rowdy Mac" which is why i made the mistake of buying it on Itunes. So I could have everything Prince ever wrote. I could've lived without this one.
duh
When eye go 2 a Prince concert or related event it's all heart up in the house but when eye log onto this site and the miasma of bitchiness is completely overwhelming!

They claimed he wrote songs for them but never really said which ones and at that time "TRC period" it could've sounded like anything and everything.

it's stated at CDBaby that Prince is pretty much all over their album, which (upon listening) seems false. However, Niyoki's MySpace bio speaks of two Prince produced tracks, now that could be true. Question is, which ones?

The track was included as part of the NPGMC Ahdio Show #3, made available for download to members in April 2001.

The Fonky Baldhead's CD was being sold at one of the Paisley Park Celebrations.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.
