Hailed by American Songwriter for their "mind-bending musicality," moe. is treasured for their
mesmerizing musical synergy, unfettered showmanship, and smart, resonant songcraft. For
three decades, the band has corralled myriad musical forms on a truly original journey rich with
crafty, clever songwriting and astonishing resourcefulness. Fueled by an impassioned fan base,
moe. has spent much of those thirty years on the road, encompassing countless live
performances marked by eclectic wit, deep friendship, and exploratory invention. Having built
an enduring legacy with hard work and a confirmed commitment to creativity and community,
moe. seem as surprised as anyone to find themselves at such a significant landmark.
"The career just very subtly unfolded," says co-founding bassist-singer-songwriter Rob Derhak,
"without any of us noticing it actually happened."
Al Schnier (guitars, vocals), Chuck Garvey (guitars, vocals), and Derhak first came together at
the University of Buffalo in 1990, musician-friends uniting to play for the sheer fun of it. The
band followed a handful of cassette-only releases with 1992's FATBOY, recorded in an
apartment studio above Buffalo's Top Shelf Guitars with a bird's eye view of Mighty Taco.
"We liked music, we liked to party, and we wanted to put those two things together," says
Derhak. "We wanted to do what seemed like the coolest thing we could possibly do and not
have to work a regular job. It didn't even seem like a decision had to be made. It's was like, this
is what we're doing and it's happening. The idea that thirty years later I would be a dad, paying
a mortgage and earning a living, based on our band, with the same guys no less, that never
even crossed my mind."
Finding themselves with an increasingly avid local following, moe. ventured forth, now with
master rhythmatist Jim Loughlin among their ranks. The more the band traveled, the more they
grew creatively, evincing a remarkable willingness to progress as they went along. moe. quickly
became part of a burgeoning scene centered around NYC's Wetlands, a grassroots revolution
that embraced freewheeling genre fusion -- spanning funk and free jazz, country and classic
rock, prog, new wave, calypso, pop and everything else under the sun -- fan interaction, and
unrestrained improvisation.
"We adapted," Derhak says. "Initially we didn't have quite as much of the same ideal at first.
We didn't jam or have long extended solos. But as we went from being an opening act to being
a headliner, we didn't have enough material to do two long sets. We needed more material so
our songs started to stretch themselves out. We became a jam band.
