Haggerty also played in a Chicago band called the Nefarious Fat Cats which featured an all-star line-up including his brother John Haggerty, Jake Burns of Stiff Little Fingers, Herb Rosen of the Beer Nuts and Rights of the Accused, Mark DeRosa of the band Dummy and Scott Lucas of Local H. The band stopped performing when Jake Burns moved from Chicago to West Virginia.
He played with Stiff Little Fingers in December 2012 for a show in Chicago, as a substitute for Steve Grantley who could not make the show.
In 2021 Haggerty became a member of industrial/punk/hard rock supergroup The Joy Thieves by contributing a drum track to their song "Nihilist Landscape" from their album, "American Parasite."
On November 25th, 2025, Haggerty was arrested for threatening Republican Illinois senator Andrew Chesney following Chesney's participation in a press conference regarding illegal immigration and Donald Trump's plan to send the national guard to Chicago.
