Fred Chalenor (December 29, 1955 – June 23, 2018) was an American bassist, most recognized for his work in the bands Caveman Shoestore, Tone Dogs, and Face Ditch.
[1] His first band was Zanzibar, a group led by guitarist Rick Adams based in Portland, Oregon.
After that project disintegrated, he moved back to the United States and performed alongside musicians such as Henry Kaiser and Owen Maercks in the Bay Area.
The group broke up numerous times over their existence and issued two self-released cassettes (In the Interim and All Fall Down).
Chalenor and Franzoni remained the only consistent members until the band finally parted ways in early 1985 after a show in New York City.
