Rob Fife - drums and percussion               audio demo files:        video demo files:

Born and raised in the sticks, began his drumming experience in the sixth grade school band. Rob  continued playing in school bands through high school and formed Rock bands at Purdue University. While at Purdue, Rob Had the opportunity to play with many bands and talented musicians including: Christopher Brown, JD Wells, and Brian Waldsmith in Shock 51. In 1999, Rob joined Red and the Roosters blues band. After a great year with Red and the Roosters, Rob moved the fam to Indianapolis, where he found the members of Hypnocinema. They automatically hit it off both musically and personally, and Rob knew it was a great fit. But everything comes to an end sometime and he decided to leave the band in April 2005. Then Rob has found a new band that rocked the Funk/Jam/Groove in Safety Meeting: http://myspace.com/safetymeetingmusic which since disbanded.

Rob is currently seeking a group that like to rock-n-roll and that needs a long-time member!
