   About THE GREASY BEATS
THE GREASY BEATS are an all-star funky music machine that hails from Los Angeles and features some of the most respected and 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 or recorded with such notable bands/artists as: Black Eyed Peas, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Sergio Mendez, Big Daddy Kane, Too $hort, Slick Rick, De La Soul, Pharoahe Monch, Cake, Sublime, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Alicia Keys, Joss Stone, Money Mark, Cut Chemist, Rakim, Ghostface Killah, Redman, Nelly Furtado, Justin Timberlake, Ricky Martin, Jason Mraz, Ricky Lee Jones, Mike Doughty, Little Brother, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, Robert Walter's 20th Congress, The Breakestra, Quantic Soul Orchestra, DJ Z-TRIP, Jem, Marc Broussard, L.A. Carnival, Connie Price & The Keystones, Orgone, Melvin Sparks, Sam Rivers and Eddie Bo just to name a few.

The Greasy Beats have forged a rough and raw approach to the FUNK that is reminiscent of The JB's, Dyke & The Blazers, The Meters and the Godfather of Soul himself, James Brown. The GB's have firmly established their reputation as THE hardest working funk band in SoCal with extended residences at both the world famous Roxy Theatre in Hollywood and the Temple Bar in Santa Monica. Please visit greasybeats.com for updates and more show info.

"They got the name of the group right on this one -- because the music here is greasy and gritty -- partly deep funk, and partly older soul-styled grooves! The group are a largeish combo with vamping guitar, burning organ, snapping drums, and a nice brace of horns on the top -- and they're joined here by Mixmaster Wolf of Breakestra -- who sings lead vocals on 3 of the EP's 5 tracks! The overall groove is rich and full -- almost with Memphis soul touches at times, but cut down with the leanness of the modern deep funk generation." - Dusty Groove

Hey sweetie,

I'm sorry about that I must have given you the wrong one.

That's funny because I tried that one a while ago too, the one I gave you, and it made me all angry because they sucked real bad, and they didn't pay too good either they offered like contests and stuff instead of cash.

But anyways, the right site is

T O P S 2 5 . COM

it's the one I am making $750 a week with putting in about 28 hours a week, sometimes up to like 30 hours if I'm motivated.

After you get your membership make sure you sign up with with the companies on page one in the members section because they are the ones that pay pay top dollars, I got $50 for one that took me 45 minutes today. You'll see what I'm talking about when you start.

Laura started taking them too and she's cashing $850 a week, it's making me so mad because I'm the one that showed her which one to sign up with now she's making more than me.

Alright well me and Timmy are getting ready to leave, just give me a call or I'll meet you on here and let me know if you have any problems with your membership.
bye now
