Mother Night

Mother Night refers to three bands, a defunct NYC funk band of the early 1970's and two 21st century east coast indie hard rock bands: 1) The original Mother Night was a 70's era 9 piece soul band from New York that mix jazz/soul/funk with an occasionally fierce lead guitar. Mother Night is a rare hybrid of a cross-pollination of the best of the Apollo with the best of the Fillmore East. 2) Mother Night also was a hardcore band from New Brunswick, New Jersey.
