One of the most underrated bands ever but still a knock out when you see them live.

Too Cool!!!  Wyzard was my introduction to Alembic basses.  He had a white Series I too.  I worked the stage for these guys back in the early 80's.

I was working for the venue.  The guys in the band were really nice and approachable.  Mother's Finest is/was one of the tightest bands I've ever heard.  I often try to interject a funk element into my songs... that inspiration comes from these guys.

Anybody not familiar with these guys, do yourself a favor and download the entire Another Mother Further album.  They are the definition of Funk-Rock.

Better than The Dan Reed Network?

Danno; I don't think the two groups play the same kind of music.

I'd never heard of Mother's Finest before I started hanging out here.  Thanks for turning me on to them, guys; they're good, maybe even great.  But I'm sorry, Mike, there's only one definition of funk-rock (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkP5roFukKY)!

Almost forgot about them!!!  Mother's Finest never quite broke out as a national act.  They were a little too rock for the funk crowd and a little too funk for the rock crowd.  But I loved the way they weaved those 2 styles together.  Check out this clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMlA-IdLD-I (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMlA-IdLD-I)
