Caveman Shoestore the Band
The Drummer's take on the band

A brief history: Caveman
Shoestore formed in late 1991, a rock band from the Northwest. Fred Chalenor
Basses, Elaine diFalco
Vocals and Keyboards, Henry
Franzoni Drums. They released three CDs on
Tim/Kerr Records, the third of which was entitled Caveman
Hughscore and added Hugh
Hopper on Bass. In 1996, Fred and Elaine
moved on without Henry and released two more CDs with Hugh Hopper under the name Hughscore, which had Tucker Martine
and Will Dowd
on drums. The original Caveman
Shoestore trio reunited and released a sixth CD entitled Super
Sale on Buildabuzz Records in 2005. A seventh CD entitled
Frankensongs is finished and release is planned for 2010.
Caveman's a rock band, sometimes we do some different stuff
with
rhythm and harmony, rocking in our own way, like everybody
else. Sometimes we play music in
straight 4/4, and you can dance to
it, but often we feature odd times, polyrhythms,
dissonance, and therefore commit commercial suicide. We are
unhinged, unrepentant, and uncompromising.
