Pepito "Pippy" Fettuccini was born in Sicily to Benito and Sophia Fettuccini in Novemeber of 1970. The Fettuccinni's were reknowned circus trapeze artists throughout Europe so young Pippy spent most of his young life on the road.

It was at the age of ten that a terrible accident occured. While performing their daring high wire with a live Grizzly Bear act in Florence, Pippy's Mother and Father were eaten alive by a particularly ornary Grizzly Bear named Richard. Pippy witnessed the whole thing from the front row, and was left in a state of shock. After 6 months of intensive psychotherapy, Pippy was sent to live with his Uncle Guadelup in the tiny hamlet of La Crosse, WI.

Here Pippy worked in his Uncle's shoe shop, but he longed for the life of a preformer. Pippy began composing music and writing short stories. He penned several critically acclaimed Mystery stories under a Pseudonym, and began writting songs.

One night in 1985 he went to see a touring musician by the name of Creole Zimbabwae. Zimbabwae had just won Los Angles' coveted best bar band award, so Pippy was excited. During a break in Creole's set Pippy got up on stage and began playing an early version of "Your Girlfriend is Nice" on Harmonica and Bongos. He was booed off the stage.

But Creole was impressed, and asked Pippy to join him on his Tacoma Washington tour. Piipy agreed. The duo called themselves Rat Fish Entrails and quickly became Tacoma's hottest act. However, whenever record producers came to see them play, they all said the same thing. What they were missing, was a top flight guitarist.

That vacancy was soon filled by the talented Francis the Destroyer in 1987 and The Brothers of Wickedness were formed. An ad placed in the TACOMA TIMES led to the hiring of Gordon Lightfoot and Vino Mussolinni the III as band members. Lightfoot howerver only lasted a day, and was soon replaced by the Ace of Bass - Cornelius Jones.

Pippy resides in the small mountain town of Minas Tirith and still writes songs
