[edit] History
Rob Pope grew up in Kansas City, Missouri. In the summer of 1994, he was in a band called "Kingpin" with his brother Ryan and future Get Up Kids bandmate Jim Suptic. After the band broke up due to internal conflicts, Rob and Jim re-formed with Matt Pryor, who had been playing with Secular Theme and friend Nathan Shay on drums. After Shay was replaced with Rob's brother Ryan, the band recorded it's first release, Four Minute Mile. He has also toured with Reggie and the Full Effect and The New Amsterdams.
He was also a member of Alex Brahl's group Tijuana Crime Scene for their only album Change of Venue. After The Get Up Kids called it quits, Rob joined the band Koufax, along with his brother Ryan to form their new rhythm section. In 2005 he joined the band White Whale to record their album WW1. Soon afterward he joined the band Spoon and recorded their album Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. He currently lives in Lawrence, Kansas and Seattle, Washington.
He also co-owns Black Lodge Studios in Eudora, Kansas with his brother Ryan Pope and former Get Up Kids producer Ed Rose.
