The band spent nearly a year experimenting with a multitude of different musical styles, including punk rock , indie rock , acoustic rock , funk , and heavy metal . When Carleo left the band in August 1996, Kelley recruited Michael Todd to take his place. Todd, who was primarily a guitarist, picked up the bass specifically for Shabütie. As Shabütie, the band wrote dozens of songs and released their first studio demo Plan to Take Over the World in 1999. The band also released The Penelope EP in 1999, shortly after which Stever rejoined the band. Shabütie also appeared on the sampler album Error 404: Not Found in July of 1999, which featured their songs Camouflage and Kinderwhore.
