"Cooder Graw" formed in 1997, was a self-described "loud country" (country music / alternative country) band from Amarillo and Lubbock. Cooder Graw is somewhat of an anomaly in the music industry, in that its members' ages at its inception ranged from late-30s to early-50s. The band's singer, Matt Martindale, was the assistant district attorney of Gray County, Texas prior to devoting his full attention to the band. The band was originally calle ... d "Coup de GrĂ¢ce," but another band was already using that name, so the name was changed to a "Texas-version" of the original name.See more [+]
