What's the story behind GREAZY MEAL?

Can anyone shed some light?

I was just given 3 of their CD's...Visualize World, Digitalize World, and Gravy...
Upon first listen, I like the funk, but they seem to have regressed from their debut.

Who plays with them? Are they musicians, or studio babies?
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

well they were a local minneapolis band, funky yes had a huge like cult following every Sunday the Cabooze here in Mpls.

the players: Spicy T - vocals raps, Brian gallagher-sax/flute, jim anton - bass vocals, julius juice collins - lead vocals, ken -congos, jon strawberry fields -guitar vocals Dave Anania - vocals percussion.

talk about funky and a following they are making their third c.d. and they have been broken up for a couple of years now. they twice have had a reunion which was/were truly awesome. Seen Julius and the rest out at Paisley a couple of times, don't think anything went down, and once at a Paisley Party Prince yelled out to the audience " i hear Greazy Meal is getting funkier than me?" or something to that effect can't quote exactly or he ask are they funkier than me?

other band members have gone out to do some things Dave plays with the Blue man group in New York (there are one or two others on other coasts)

some travel with Tom Scott. they all do some things.

you can go their website http://www.greazymeal.com/ and catch more pictures, mesage board etc.

Julius Collins has another band called "Juice" that plays around some band members followed him in that group along with Michael Bland playing drums. otherwise he also sings with a group The Lengendary Combo on Mondays at Bunkers also local place.

just a little bit of info wink be sure to go the website and go to www.juice-the-band.com for further funk.

Tommy is cute, but I don't go for vanilla shake, I love my chocolate shake. Tommy is getting married real soon, and yes he loves his sister's. He was married once before to a sister.

hence the line "Tommy barberella likes it in the dark we like in the light "

he dated robin robinson for a minute there. although he did have a crush on my friend Jodi who was the vision of a Barbie doll - boobs and all. but she was already taking to the man wink

still that never stopped anyone in the band trying to get p's women. must of been some kind of game for them.

Yeah, I had heard about that first marriage from a few friends of mine who have done sessions with her (the ex-wife, a singer). That woman is an AMAZING vocalist, very well respected in the industry and only does a-list projects: the word is that she was too fabulous on her own in NY and LA to be riding his coattails couped up in the midwest, and it just didn't work out. Oddly enough, I do remember seeing him during his NPG days under Prince hanging out in Miami Beach; right about the time he was married (!) I saw him in some cafe spoon feeding some little chocolate waif of a chick who CLEARLY wasn't his wife- looks like he REALLY is into sistas
wink in a major way, lol! At any rate, he's getting married? To who? When? That child dosen't even look old enough to be DATING, let alone marrying folks. I need to eat whatever it is he's eating so I can look great at that age too! But then they always say that men age more slowly than women, so I guess I'll just have to rely on my melanin to keep my skin lookin' right .

I know what you mean. But he does have a great smile, though. Lawd knows I've always been a sucka for a man with pretty teeth
