[edit] Bleed Theory and Divest
Bleed Theory began as a studio project, more or less, by Dave Parker, Nate Kelley and Kurt Brown in the fall of 1997. Nate asked Morgan to come down and collaborate on one of the tunes being worked on. Josh Eppard also joined around this time on drums. The band was a side project for Nate, Morgan and Josh, who were involved in Shabutie, Fuse, and 3, respectively. Soon, Josh left to take Nate's place in Shabutie (later to become Coheed and Cambria) and Zac Shaw, a long time friend of Nate and Morgan took his place. The band proceeded until 2001 when Nate left and was replaced by Mike McCoy on bass. The band then evolved into Divest. After guitarist Dave Parker joined Coheed and Cambria as touring keyboardist Divest also went on hiatus until briefly reforming with three original members Morgan Evans (vocals), Kurt Brown (guitar) and Nate Kelley (bass)
[edit] Counterfeit Disaster
In the fall of 2004 Dave Parker, Joe Maggio, Sean-Paul Pillsworth, and Kenny Camacho came together and began writing for what would become Counterfeit Disaster. After a few months the project had to be put on hold indefinitely. In winter of 2005 the project was renewed, adding Dave Daw and Dave Bodie to help bring a more live sound to what was initially intended to be a fully sequenced project. Josh Eppard formally of Coheed and Cambria has now since joined on Drums.
[edit] Coheed and Cambria
Dave Parker began playing live keyboards for Coheed and Cambria September 17, 2005 at Irving Plaza as part of the CMJ Festival. He toured with the band until December 15, 2006, and appears on the "The Last Supper: Live from the Hammerstein Ballroom" dvd.
[edit] Weerd Science
Weerd Science is a project of former Coheed and Cambria drummer Josh Eppard. Additional members include Dave Parker (Keyboards, Engineer), Kwame Wiaf Akenten Jr./"Gangstroph" (Vocals), Daniel Illchuk (Samples, Vocals). They have one official release to date titled Friends and Nervous Breakdowns.
