Ask around in Minneapolis right now, and you'll be hard pressed to find someone that hasn't heard of, if not witnessed the kaleidoscopic live show that is "Greazy Meal".
But Minneapolis' top drawing band, and creators of the debut CD "Visualize World Greaze" are equally adept in the studio. With "Digitalize World Greaze" the 8 member alternative soul collective revisits and remixes their 1966 debut album into a wild melange of hypnotic rhythuns, hard grooves and turnable mania. Utilizing the awesome talents of this Minneapolis all-star band and their tripped out sidekick DJ Pfaffoo, the tastiest licks from Visualize World Grease are blended, blended and rendered anew with a sound that once again demonstrates this band’s unending ability to create fresh, innovative music.
A special teat for fans, Digitalize World Grease will impress the ears of the uninitiated as well, with its new sonic flavor from an alternative dimension/
