The Greasy Beats are an all-star funky music machine that hails from Los Angeles
and features some of the most respected, in-demand musicians in Southern California.
Every individual in this funky gang of musicians has made their mark on the music
scene. Members have performed/recorded with such notable bands/artists as the
Black Eyed Peas, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Sergio Mendez, Cake, $Mark, Mos Def, Cut
Chemist, Jason Mraz, Mike Doughty, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, Robert Walter's
20th Congress, The Breakestra, Quantic Soul Orchestra, Melvin Sparks, Eddie Bo,
DJ Logic, Jem, The Southland, Jive and Connie Price & The Keystones just to
name a few. Also many notable stars of the jam band and acid-jazz/funk scene have
sat-in or guested with The GBs, including Chris Stillwell, Mike Andrews and Robert
Walter (of the Greyboy Allstars), Stanton Moore (Galactic), Cheme Gastelum (20th
Congress), Brian Jordan (KDTU), Steve Molitz (Particle), Sam Kininger (Soulive)
and most recently rocker Slash (Guns N' Roses).
The Greasy Beats have forged a rough and raw approach to the FUNK that is reminiscent
of The JB's, Bootsy's Rubber Band, The Meters, P-Funk and the Godfather of Soul
himself, James Brown. The Greasy Beats have firmly established their reputation
as THE heaviest funk & soul band in Southern California with successful
extended residences at both the world famous Roxy Theatre in Hollywood and the
Temple Bar in Santa Monica. Visit GreasyBeats.com for updates and more show
