Haimer performed in the two-man band Barnes & Barnes as his stage persona Artie Barnes, alongside actor and musician Bill Mumy.[1] The band is best known for their oddball hit "Fish Heads (song)" -- a staple on the Dr Demento radio show and boosted by a video directed by the then-unknown Bill Paxton[2] -- and work with unique Los Angeles vocalist Wild Man Fischer. Haimer became friends with Mumy in 1965 at his school's Halloween carnival day.

Haimer also collaborated with the band America. He is featured on View from the Ground (1982), Your Move (1983),[3] Perspective (1984), Encore: More Greatest Hits (1991) and Hourglass (1994).
