Mutha's Day Out was an American rock & heavy metal band formed in November 1991 from the town of Batesville, Arkansas.

Mikal Moore (born Michael Morehead) and his cousin Randy Cross conceived Mutha's Day Out one night in November 1991 while listening to Luke Skyywalker as a way to “get chicks.” The name was thought up by Brice Stephens (initially a mutual friend) and came from a daycare center in Batesville that kids could go to for pre-school in Methodist churches.

After producing Mutha's Day Out's first demo tape on January 28, which consisted of 3 tracks ("Dry Water", "Love is a Hate Situation", and "What U See/We All Bleed Red"), Doug booked the band to play in the Crossroads Music Festival that week.

Halfway through the production of the album, Greenforth Pham, a Vietnamese boy who was a close friend of Mikal and Brice's, committed suicide.

In addition, on March 5, 1994, Mikal and Brice appeared on an episode of Headbangers Ball with Riki Rachtman to promote the album and the "Locked" music video was shown.

They opened for such acts as I Mother Earth, Sir Mix-a-Lot, Prong, Jackyl, Rollins Band, Terrorvision, Sugartooth, and BulletBoys.

Jeff, at one point during the tour, was in a leg brace having dislocated his knee the night before at a club gig in Birmingham, Alabama, but was still insistent on playing.

Notable shows from the American leg of their tour include their performance on October 9, 1993, in front of 600 fans in their hometown of Batesville, which was recorded and used in the music videos for “Locked” and “Green”.

It also features a short cowbell intro and the removal of the foul language the song originally contained, although some copies of the soundtrack still have the profanity.

Jeff lives in Little Rock and plays for two bands: bass guitar for Deadbird and drums for Rwake; he is married with a son and daughter.

In January 2012, Mikal announced via his Facebook account that a Mutha's Day Out reunion was in the works, with Chuck and Jeff returning to the band, as well as adding a new drummer and removing the back-up singer.

In November 2019, it was announced that a special Mutha's Day Out encore featuring Mikal, Brice, Chuck and Jeff would be taking place following Deadbird's performance at the Mutants of the Monster Festival in Little Rock, Arkansas in June 2020.
