Claudio Sanchez, Travis Stever, and Josh Eppard formed Shabutie in 1995. A name taken from African tribe chants for "naked prey" in the film The Nude Prey. The band spent nearly a year experimenting with a multitude of different musical tendencies: punk rock, indie rock, acoustic rock, funk and heavy metal. In 1996 Michael Todd, or Mic, with whom he had worked on an acoustic side project called Esme 9, took over being primarily a guitarist. Later picked up the bass specifically for Shabutie.
And since 2001 they are known as Coheed and Cambria. Josh Eppard was replace in 2006 by Chris Pennie.
