Biography

The first band Rob was ever in was called Source. While attending Andover High School, he formed a band called listedBlack with current Tally Hall band mate Zubin Sedghi. He went on to study Cell and Molecular Biology the University of Michigan;[1] where he met bandmate Joe Hawley. In fall 2002, during their time at University, Rob joined Joe's comedy troupe AnonyMous, and played a role in his senior thesis film: The Other Way.

On the 2006 website, Rob's bio read thusly:

rob is the one in the yellow tie. he hails from the rough-n-tumble streets of suburban detroit, where people constantly get into "beat it"-style knife-fights. he went to high school with zubin. after graduation, rob moved to ann arbor to begin studying for the mcats. meanwhile, an elusive, echoey voice constantly urged him to form a band. he did.

when not tally halling, rob studies molecular and cellular biology. his favorite dvd, at the moment, is "sports night: the complete series." a must see. rob's songs are specially designed for romantic comedies starring hugh grant.

here are some other things about rob:

  1. a large baby, rob broke his mom's coccyx during labor.
  2. rob is an eagle scout.
  3. rob is english for "to steal"
  4. rob wonders, "did biblical characters ever make small talk?"**
  5. rob was reading zubin's bio. he noticed that zubin's favorite stage of mitosis is telophase. rob thinks zubin likes telophase because this is when the cleavage furrow develops, and zubin's one-track mind is amused by the word cleavage.
  6. rob likes kurt vonnegut and barack obama.
  7. npr is the greatest, says rob.
  8. rob owns but has never read the following books:
    1. the federalist papers
    2. the tao of pooh
    3. the social transformation of american medicine (a pulitzer prize winner!)
  9. number nine. number nine. number nine. number nine? number nine.
  10. rob loves you.
  11. rob is puzzled by the word biweekly. it means both twice a week and once every two weeks.

During Tally Hall's hiatus, Rob released two songs based around celebrities: the first of which was Shia Labeouf, which was uploaded to Soundcloud on the 3rd of March 2012,[3] and the second was Christian Bale Is At Your Party, which was uploaded to YouTube July 18th, 2012.[4] Shia Labeouf went on to become a viral hit, sparking a re-release of an extended live version, which too, became a viral hit.
