Coup d'eTat

This page is kept up for posterity, but I am no longer in this band. But you can download some of our songs below.. I particularly recommend Faded (demo, no vocals), a very cool song written by Travis Greer now available in mp3 format.

The Story

I joined this band in 1998, along with Travis Greer (guitar), Carl Veech (bass), David Taylor (vocals) and myself
on drums. We play technical hard rock with a metal edge. Sort of like Metallica, but more focused and intricate.

Carl left the band after about a year, and Jerry Abarca (bass) joined after that. Jerry was the bass player for
Houston's most famed metal band in the late 80s-early 90s, Helstar. We are playing a couple of songs he wrote for
Helstar originally, so we definitely have a metal sound for those songs. For those who know Helstar's music, the
two songs we are doing now are actually parts 2 and 3 of a trilogy, started by part 1 which was the song Aieliaria
and Everonn from Helstar's Nosferatu album.

The Search

David left the band over a year ago. We are currently searching for a singer, and possibly a keyboardist and
second guitarist too. If you are interested be sure and drop me a note at kmcwatters@hotmail.com. To get an idea
of the type of music we play, here are some demo songs you can download and listen to. You can even learn these
songs if you'd like to audition for us. (The song lyrics can be viewed
here.)

Faded (demo, no vocals)
Faded (demo with vocals)
The Raven (demo w/ vocals)
Day Dreamin'(demo, no vocals)
