Before Coheed and Cambria, there was Shabutie.

Claudio Sanchez: Vocals/Guitar
Travis Stever: Guitar
Michael Todd: Bass
Nate Kelley: Drums

“When a band called Toxic Parents, featuring Travis Stever and Claudio Sanchez, dissolved around the same time as Nate Kelley’s project, Moe & The Boogie Cats (who disbanded after their lead singer left New York to join a UFO cult in Arizona), the members came together to form a new band.

In March 1995, Travis Stever (lead vocals, guitar), Claudio Sanchez (guitar), Nate Kelley (drums) and Jon Carleo (bass) came together to form a band called Beautiful Loser. The band was short-lived, however, as in June of the same year they broke up, due to an argument over gas money. Stever left the band, and Kelley was initially kicked out, but came back when asked by Sanchez. Without Stever, the band became a trio, and Sanchez took control of the lead vocals and guitar.

Renaming themselves Shabutie, the band spend nearly a year experimenting with a multitude of different sounds: punk rock, indie rock, acoustic rock, funk and heavy metal to name a few and purportedly wrote as many as 100 songs, few of which were kept. Carleo, on bass, left the band in August 1996. Kelley knew Mic Todd from an acoustic side project the two had together, called Esme 9, so he recruited Todd to take Carleo’s place. Being a guitarist, Todd picked up the bass specifically for Shabtie, and excelled rapidly.

Also...people need to learn to label their music. Half those songs listened to aren't Shabutie or Coheed.

I wish Coheed would go back to being as experimental as they were with Shabutie. Coheed seems to be stuck in a creative rut with the last two albums. I understand they're a progressive band as well as a concept band. Listen to Second Stage Turbine Blade and compare it to the new stuff...HUGE difference. I love Coheed, I love Shabutie.
