David Olliffe

Who is David Olliffe?

David Vincent Olliffe is an Australian musician, and the former drummer of The Vines. During the recordings of the band's debut album, Highly Evolved, Olliffe left citing creative differences with band management and the album's producer although it was reported on the band's website that "he didn't enjoy the touring lifestyle."

Before leaving, Olliffe had already recorded drum tracks for the songs "Highly Evolved", "Autumn Shade", "Outtathaway", "Sunshinin", "Homesick", "Country Yard", "Mary Jane", and "1969".

Olliffe was also the drummer for Sydney's Theredsunband, however he is credited as "David O'Leaf" in the official site bio. He played with the Sydney outfit after Theredsunband's first drummer Kate Wilson left the band. Theredsunband's current line up does not include O'Leaf/Olliffe, who left shortly before the band recorded their first album Peapod.
