During an interview, guitarist Al Schnier was asked to describe moe. for those who have never heard their music: "It's an amalgamation of a wide variety of the history of rock, all regurgitated and recycled through the eyes, ears, hands, whatever of the guys in our band and all of that with a sense of adventure, a sense of humor, also a constant desire to push the envelope. All in this arena of taking chances, improvising live, and making things up on the spot." [1]
The 1990s The origin of the band goes back as far as 1989, when Chuck Garvey, Rob Derhak, and Ray Schwartz got together to play a Halloween show at a friends behest. The band's first true form began in the Winter of 1990. Chuck was joined by Dave Kessler on guitar and Steve Hunter joined on saxophone and vocals. They called themselves Five Guys named Moe, the name of a Louis Jordan song. They opened for a band named Monkey Wrench at Broadway Joe's in Buffalo, NY. Monkey Wrench would later be mentioned in moe.'s song Y.O.Y., where Garvey sings "I wish I could suck like Monkey Wrench." Louis Jordan swinging on sax, Paramount Theatre, NYC, 1946 (Photo: William P. Gottlieb) Louis Jordan (July 8, 1908 – February 4, 1975) was a pioneering African-American blues, jazz and rhythm & blues musician and songwriter who enjoyed his greatest popularity from the late 1930s to the early 1950s. ...
In the Fall of 1990, Hunter exited. Also, the bands name evolved first into Haggis (for one week) before settling to be simply moe, noticeably without the period. Derhak pushed for the "m" to be capitalized, but a Brooklyn band had that name already. Al Schnier sat in with the band for a show in 1991 in Buffalo when Kessler was absent. After this show, Schnier was a frequent guest. They became known as the moe guitar army because of the three guitarists. The band also officially adopted the period at the end of moe. Schnier joined the band full-time in early 1992 and in the Spring, Kessler left due to a lack of interest.
In June of 1993, the band recorded Fatboy, after which Schwartz left the band to go to graduate school. Jim Loughlin joined the band in September on drums. During the Summer of 1993, Chuck left the band due to personal issues, but returned two months later and "beg[ged] for re-admittance and more abuse."[2] In the Spring of 1994, the band recorded Headseed, officially quitting their day jobs, and all moved to Albany, NY. Loughlin left the band in June of 1995 to pursue another band named Yolk, from Binghamton, NY. After Loughlin left, Mike Strazza joined the band on drums, but only from July until the end of 1995, though he officially quit in September. During their two nights over Thanksgiving weekend at the Wetlands in New York City, the band recorded Loaf, their first official live release. Fatboy was the first studio album by the jam band moe. ...

In early 1999, Loughlin returned to the lineup on percussion, flute, backup bass, acoustic guitar, and washboard. Since January 23, 1999, the band moe. has officially been Al Schnier, Chuck Garvey, Rob Derhak, Vinnie Amico, and Jim Loughlin.[2]

| “ | The Promise School is one of the leading resources for autistic preschoolers in the country. I was amazed, and grateful, to learn that one of the most highly regarded programs was right here in our community. As we learn more about autism, and as our kids grow older, we are finding that we as parents and our children need that same high quality and progressive resource beyond the Promise Program's objective. The Kelberman Center is fulfilling that need. | ” | On April 11th, 2006, the band donated $38,000 to the Kelberman Center as part of The Face of Autism telethon.[5]

- Chuck on snoe.down II:[7]
Our set outdoors (that's right, outdoors on a ski slope in 10 - 15 degree weather) was brisk and inspired by hot coffee and a touch of whiskey. The gloves that I cut up to "protect" my hands from the cold ended up looking like something from Pat Benetar's 80's video wardrobe when I was done making field alterations onstage to accommodate playing with my slide........hmmmmm. A bad sign, usually, but a crowd of 2,000+ made it their business not to budge the whole time. Kudos all around! Completely worth it - especially if you get to ski right up to your workplace!!
