Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area of California, Fred Sablan began gaining recognition as a musician in the late 1990s while playing guitar in Crack, a group once described as "Cupertino's punk-noise surrealists."[1] Sablan next took the role of bassist for Butcher Holler. After the release of one album, I Heart Rock, and opening for Foo Fighters however, the group disbanded. Sablan and Twiggy were eventually introduced by former Nine Inch Nails guitarist Aaron North, after which they formed their own group effort, Goon Moon, in 2005. During Twiggy's departure from Marilyn Manson, Goon Moon recorded and toured in support of two releases, however the project entered a hiatus when Twiggy and Marilyn Manson announced their reunion in 2008. After working with two gutarists since Twiggy's return to the band, Marilyn Manson declared in July 2010 that they had drafted Sablan as their latest guitarist.
Outside of rock groups, Sablan works alone on the "punk-experimental-blues" effort Birtday Twin, which he describes as "born out of all kinds of music [...] I record whatever I feel like with the emphasis being on film score and live mood creating."
