Artist History LIFTED was formed in southeastern Iowa in late 2000 by Roch Meier(Drums), John Hager(Guitars), Chris Jensen(Vocals/Keyboards) and Andrew Dow on bass. The goal was to create emotionally satisfying music by combining both the heavy AND the more melodic/lighter influences the group shared. Within a month's time they added Frank Perez on guitar---making the line-up complete. They proceeded to go into the studio in June of 2001 to record their first promo cd, "SILENCE IS IMPOSSIBLE". Since it's release; the 4 song ep has been getting great reviews. LIFTED has been playing gigs all over the midwest in support of their promising debut. They have recently parted ways with Andrew and have welcomed Micah Olsen into the fold. They are continuing to write and are looking at putting out a full length cd in the very near future.
