Back in the early 90s three guys from Upstate NY had a vision. To put together one of the Capital Districts best Hard Rock bands. The result would be MOMMY DEAREST.
Mommy Dearest/Rain would record a 4 song demo in 1994, and a 3 song follow up demo in 1995. The band eventually appeared on Z Rock's battle of the bands, and beat out Prog Metal newcomers WHISKEY GYPSY.
The band had a great sound and would be compared to other classic bands such as Great White, Dokken, Tesla, Cinderella, Van Halen, and others.
Mommy Dearest would eventually break up with the whole grunge movement moving in the 90s, and some other issues as well.
The music til this day has stood the test of time, and Mommy Dearest is currently talking to labels for a possible release!
Thanks for your support of the last NLO concert the photos are now viewable on our myspace site. We are currently mixing the last 6 songs on our 17 track project. Look for it in stores in December 2009
