FRED ABONG, Bass Player for Throwing Muses and Belly and Practicing Astrologer

FRED ABONG is a Filipino-American indie / alternative rock singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist –who upholds his reputation for creating a blend of “ragged Replacements and lyric-driven Bob Dylan” and as “Elliott Smith with balls”.Getting his musical start in the 1980’s in Rhode Island as a drummer, bassist and guitarist in several hardcore punk bands, Fred Agong  is best known as the bassist in the early 1990s for the American alternative rock band THROWING MUSES and BELLY, as one of the original members. He then put music as a profession on hold for academic pursuits, earning a Ph.D in Humanities and serving as a professor at various universities for eight years before returning back to music. Continuing to write songs as a solo artist, Fred Abong's music has a raw and unpolished production aesthetic with an overall direct, though deceptively imaginative and oblique, presentation. Apart from his work as a solo artist,  he is also currently bass player in the KRISTIN HERSH ELECTRIC TRIO.He is also a practicing VEDIC and WESTERN ASTROLOGER  for over 20 years. There will be a separate interview with Fred on this topic.
