Fred Sablan is a multi-talented musician originally from the San Francisco Bay area in California. In the late nineties, Sablan performed as the guitarist for the punk band ''Crack.'' Which was described by journalist Todd S. Inoue as "Cupertino's punk-noise surrealists."<ref>http://www.metroactive.com/papers/metro/01.23.97/cover/crack-9704.html</ref>  Sablan's most notable presence to the Manson fanbase came from his involvement as both a bassist and occasional guitarist for Jeordie White aka [[Twiggy]]'s side project [[Goon Moon]], whom he met through mutual friend and former [[Nine Inch Nails]]guitarist Aaron North. Prior to this he was the bassist for the band Butcher Holler, and contributed to their album titled "I Heart Rock" which Sablan describes sounding like ''"Black Sabbath mixed with Roxy Music." Butcher Holler broke up shortly after opening up for the Foo Fighters. Sablan is a long time guitarist, though his focus is more toward bass guitar now. Sablan is also involved in his own personal project, titled ''Birthday Twin'' which is described as being ''"punk-experimental-blues."'' Sablan describes this project to be ''"born out of all kinds of music,...i record whatever i feel like with the emphasis being on film score and live mood creating"''
