News Updates

5/9/06: Well, it appears that the RADIO is what keeps crashing the server. So just let me know if it's ever not playing. It's back up now!

5/2/06: RADIO IS DOWN until we can figure out what keeps crashing the server.

3/27/06: "VISUALIZE WORLD GREAZE" is now available for purchase worldwide from the iTunes Music Store!

9/25/05: PICTURES FROM THE FINE LINE SHOW can be seen HERE. We had a great two nights of shows; THANK YOU to everyone who came out! We're going to try to do this more often in the future.

9/22/05: Last night's storm blacked out sections of Maplewood, so the Jonny Lang show at the Myth nightclub has been moved to tonight. Since Jimmy is Jonny's bass player, the Greazy Jam at the Nomad World Pub will start a little later than originally planned; sometime after 10:00. There IS an opening act, however, so head on down and enjoy a beer or two. They've got a great selection on tap.

7/12/05: Greazy Meal has confirmed two nights of gigs at The Fine Line Music Cafe, September 23 & 24. More details as they become available, but I wanted everyone to have the word so they could start making plans. Whoo hoo!

2/8/05: server undergoing a software/hardware update this morning. Expect a few outages.

1/20/05: took it down for a few minutes to add a backup system and another hard drive. Had to bounce it a few times throughout the evening as various stoopid Windows programs asked for reboots. Grr.

1/12/05: back up, and everything should be running smoothly now. More bandwidth, too!

1/12/05: morefunk.greazymeal.com is down because we're trying to figure out why there's not as much available bandwidth as we'd expected (part of the growing pains)... hang in there, the radio and downloads will be up again soon!

1/11/05: morefunk.greazymeal.com is online. Enjoy the music!

1/10/05: media should be coming online just a little later today. morefunk.greazymeal.com is safely installed in its new happy home. Also, check out the live stream of old-skool greazy meal recordings: more old GM than you can listen to in a week possibly.

1/6/05: Most of the audio/visual stuff on the multimedia page is temporarily unavailable. We had been using space on a friend's server that needed to be freed-up for other uses. I have recently purchased a new server, and hope to have it installed and running within a week or so. Then, all of the files (and more!) will become available again. Please bear with me.

10/19/04: Added mp3 samples from Universe's Baby to the multimedia page.

We're looking forward to seeing Herr Anania from Parts East again.

9/10/04: Universe's Baby is now available online. BUY IT HERE!. (or click on the pic) (opens in new window)

9/8/04: Pictures from the CD Release Weekend can be found HERE.

7/17/04: GREAZY MEAL SLEEPOVER/LOCK-IN at THE CABOOZE, August 27-29! Celebrating the release of our first new recording in four years, featuring all eight original members of the band. Tickets will be available soon. We're putting the finishing touches on our new album, which will be available at the gig.

3/30/04: last update to the studio photo gallery, and live pix of the 3/28 show

3/29/04: well, maybe it is and maybe it isn't. Take your chances! The show was a resounding success; now we all sleep (except for Dave, who has to get on a plane tomorrow morning).

3/26/04: message board seems to be working again. More pics loaded into the gallery

3/26/04: the message board is acting flakey. I'm working to kick its ass and get it working again. Sorry 'bout that.

3/24/04: short photo album from the studio.

3/22/04: Greazy Meal is setting up in the studio to begin recording their 3rd studio album. Check out the webcams page.

3/19/04: You all know that GREAZY MEAL PLAYS THE CABOOZE on Sunday, March 28th, don't you? This will be a fundraiser to pay for a week of studio time, as they'll have spent a week in the studio recording a new album.

1/18/04: Lots more live mp3's on the multimedia page.

3/26/03: Thanks to a GMF in Nebraska, all of the old live MP3's have been restored to the multimedia page.

3/16/03: Pictures from Sunday night's show are here.

3/13/03: a humorous mp3 of our mid-show cell-phone appearance on the 3/9/03 KQ Homegrown show. How many times can we say "motherfucker" on the air? (Here's what it sounded like on our side....)

3/8/03:Pictures from Friday night's amazing show here. See you all tonight!

1/13/03: What's all the buzz? Tell us what you've been hearing on the new bulletin board!

1/8/03: I've uncovered another box of Visualize World Greaze! Those of you on the lookout for it should run to the "order stuff" page now!

1/3/03: Could it be? I've found new software for a bulletin board that should be a little less spam-filled (and better organized) than what we were using before. Have a look at it here (will open in a new window).

12/27/02: Lots of sounds are back online, thanks to the high-speed server that StrawB found.

7/27/02: David Anania is touring with the Blue Man Group as part of Moby's "Area 2" tour. Be sure to look for the blue, bald percussionist. Wait, they're all blue and bald. Never mind. See www.blueman.com for more information.

7/8/02: Tired of doing nothing but deleting "Lolita" SPAM, I've taken down the message board. Nothing's been deleted -- just chmodded everything so nobody can get to it, and removed the link. Have any questions for me or anyone else in the band about what's available, what's up, etc? Check out the "contact us" link at the left. Wondering whether CD's are still available? Check out the corresponding CD titles on the menu at the left. (save you a click: I don't currently know of any available copies of "Visualize World Greaze")

6/15/02: Tired of seeing all the old, dead links, I've moved everything over to the archived news page. If anything new ever happens, I'll post it here. --JRob
