Mr M and the All Nighters

Mr M and The All Nighters are a Vancouver based Northern Soul TRIBUTE band. Our philosophy is based on the British Northern Soul tradition of a foot stomping beat togther with lots of dancing.
We are a dynamic tribute to the classic era of soul from 1962 - 1972. Expect to hear musical tributes to Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Etta James, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, Gloria Jones, Curtis Mayfield and many more. We also like to combine the more popular soul with rare soul, so you will also hear rare performances of Pat Powdrill’s stomper "Do It", Mary Love’s "Lay this Burden Down" and a rockin’ version of Willie Mitchell’s "That Driving Beat". We are also working on the rarest northern soul record ever, soon to be in our set, hint the original 45 sells for over Â£10,000
We have played many locations in Vancouver and Burnaby. In the last 12 months we have headlined at the Railway, The Fairview and shared billing at the Lamplighter, ANZA and WISE Clubs. We also like to get to smaller, intimate settings at Cafe Deux Soleils and The Purple Crab on a regular basis. We are looking to expand geographically and look forward to taking classic Northern Soul to the masses of North America, eventually the UK and Europe. Our goal is to one day record a classic soul album at Willie Mitchell’s Royal Studio in Memphis, TN
Our current line up includes a full horn section, guitar, bass, keyboards and drums and vocals. We will however, edit the band line-up to suit your venue.
If you are interested in booking the band, we play charities, political events, premieres, weddings, all kinds of parties and celebrations.
We can be contacted via this myspace page or at East Van Soul Club

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING...

"I can't remember the last time I had so much fun at a show. After hearing rave reviews from colleagues, I went to check out Mr. M and the All Nighters at the Lamplighter last month. What a great show - there was so much energy coming from this band. They gave a performance that celebrated the audience - made them want to smile and dance. No egos here, just confidence, resulting in music anyone could enjoy. 'Higher and Higher' and 'Seven Day Fool' were some of the set's highlights. I'm excited to see Mr M and the All Nighters again."
Megan Lau, Vancouver
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Mr M and the All Nighters took the stage and played a great set of soul, funk, and r & b music, and covered a couple songs too including "Tainted Love" with success. The band had a unique setup with 3 singers that interestingly all had very different voices. Mr M and the All Nighters were able to sound great even without having to stick to this traditional formula maybe in part because of the kind of music they were playing. Their instrumentals sounded great too, and it kept the audience dancing throughout the set.
Andrew Cheng, UBC Student, Vancouver A great new upcoming Vancouver talent that will surprise most. They combine musical creativity with some outstanding vocal genius. I highly recommend this band.
Conrad Schmidt - Coordinator Workless Party of BC Recently I saw a great party band. Mr. & the All Nighters had us all up dancing to some of our favourite tunes from such greats as James Brown and Dusty Springfield. They call their music Northern Soul. It combines the best of soul music, rhythm & blues and good old rock & roll. The band is tight and consistently "in the groove" with two great vocalists, talented lead and bass guitarists, a terrific brass section and a drummer who holds it all together. Mr. M. & the All Nighters provided lots of fun and fine music for the evening. I'm looking forward to seeing them again.
Peggy Stortz, West Vancouver Mr. M and the All Nighters will keep you dancing into the wee hours. A cool combination of fun and funky, this talented group will make any party a success. Their Twelfth Night Party debut was amazing. The vocals were smooth and the musicians so skilled that it makes you wish you had taken up an instrument when you were younger. Highly recommended!!
