The band's first record, Fatboy (1992), gathered adequate fame, becoming a favorite band of the 1990s in jam and improvisational rock scene and further gained popularity with bands such as Phish, the Dave Matthews Band, and Widespread Panic. Just as Grateful Dead followers were coined "Dead Heads", passionate Moe fans embracing the term "moe.rons." later in 1997, moe. toured with the Furthur Festival and made an appearance at Woodstock '99, in addition to playing in Central Park and also, opened for The Allman Brothers and The Who. Additionally, they also performed at Radio City Music Hall on New Year's Eve 2006 and will return there for New Year's Eve 2007.
In an interview, the guitarist Al Schnier of moe. declared that their music is 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.
Going back in history, in the year 1989, Chuck Garvey, Rob Derhak, and Ray Schwartz teamed up to perform at a Halloween show at a friends request. 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 entitled 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."
In the fall of 1990, Hunter departed. Moreover, the bands entitled themselves first to Haggis which lasted only a week. Eventually, they settled on naming themselves to simply moe, conspicuously without the ‘period'. Derhak insisted 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 not present. Subsequent to this show, Schnier was a regular guest. They became recognized as the moe guitar army since the three guitarists. The band also formally adopted the period at the end of moe. Schnier joined the band permanently in the beginning of 1992 and in spring, Kessler left owing to a lack of interest and enthusiasm.
In June of 1993, the band recorded Fatboy, after which Schwartz left the band to go to finish school. Jim Loughlin became a band member in September, sticking to percussion. During the Summer of 1993, Chuck left the band due to personal issues, but joined back after two months and "beg[ged] for re-admittance and more abuse." In spring of 1994, the band recorded Headseed, officially quitting their day jobs and all shifted to Albany, NY. In June of 1995, Loughlin left the band to join another band named Yolk, from Binghamton, NY. After Loughlin left, Mike Strazza joined the band on drums, but only from July till the end of 1995, however he officially quit in September. During their two nights over Thanksgiving weekend at the Wetlands in New York City, the band recorded their first official live release namely Loaf.
Near the end of 1995 through November of 1996, Chris Mazur joined the band as a drummer. That same month, Vinnie Amico started playing for the band on drums and has sustained his status as a drummer ever since. Near the beginning of 1999, Loughlin joined the lineup on percussion, flute, backup bass, acoustic guitar, and washboard. As it has been announced on January 23, 1999, the band moe. officially comprises of been Al Schnier, Chuck Garvey, Rob Derhak, Vinnie Amico, and Jim Loughlin.
