Brett Anderson plays lead guitar in the Missouri rock outfit Ha Ha Tonka. Ha Ha Tonka is a rock band from the Ozark region of Missouri. Their music has been described as a mixing of bluegrass and southern rock and a "marrying of influences as diverse as The Replacements, The Band, and Kings of Leon."
The band formed in late 2001 in Springfield, Missouri, under the name of amsterband. Brian Roberts and Luke Long were childhood friends, having grown up in West Plains, Missouri, together. Adding German drummer Robert Mueller to the band made the then-three piece band complete.
