| | The Band (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) |
 | | When a band called Toxic Parents, featuring Travis Stever and Claudio Sanchez, dissolved around the same time as Nate Kelley's project, Moe and 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. |
 | | Renaming themselves Shabutie (a name taken from African tribe chants for "naked prey" in the movie Naked Prey), the band spent nearly a year experimenting with a multitude of different sounds (punk rock, indie rock, acoustic rock, funk and heavy metal) and purportedly wrote as many as 100 songs, few of which they kept. |
 | | The group primarily uses these standard instruments, but occasionally their songs call for a lapsteel or a mandolin. |
