Last seen delivering a stealth set at moe.down, Ha Ha The Moose will return for two shows in December. The group consists of moe.‘s Rob Derhak, Chuck Garvey and Jim Loughlin (the band’s website identifies them as ‘Dr. Guano, Sludge, and Jeff VonKickass,’ although we won’t hazard a guess as to who is whom). Ha Ha The Moose will appear in New York City at Sulli​van Hall on Friday December 5 and Saturday December 6.

In other moe. news, drummer Vinnie Amico will appear with Sonic Garden, the Grateful Dead tribute band he co-founded in 1988 for two shows this coming weekend, tonight in Utica (Electric Co.) and Saturday in Albany (Valentine’s).
