Robert "Bob" Moffatt, nicknamed Duke, was born as Robert Franklin Peter Moffatt on March 8, 1984 in Vancouver BC. He used to be drummer in The Moffatts, featuring triplets Clint (bass), Bob (drums) and Dave (keyboards) and older sibling Scott (guitar). Often compared to American brother act Hanson, the Moffatts have been making music longer (starting when the brothers were 3 and 4 respectively) and have actually been cited as an influence on the Hansons.



The Moffatts went into hiding in late 2001. Drummer Bob Moffatt and his brothers Clint formed Hidell (pronounced "High-dell") in 2003, the band als ofeaturing guitarists Paul Cimolini and Christopher Ainsley.
