Zippo was a super model in Austria before moving to the states in 1985. Since they wouldn't let him model Speedos without shaving here, Zippo needed a new source of income. He tried being a cake decorator at the local bakery, but realized he was allergic to gluten. Later, he attempted going back to his roots as a model by showing tube socks for QVC, unfortunately that didn't work out either - apparently he wasn't "filling out the socks well".

As he was moping down the streets late one night in Milwaukee, he heard a homeless man playing the bari sax. Zippo thought (however hard that may have been), "Hey! I have fingers, lips and breath...I can totally do this!" Then he stole the homeless man's money and hat. Zippo is a former member of Speakeasy and recently fell back into our arms - we made him cut his hair and burn his Speedos. He still wears the homeless man's hat. How much can you ask of one man?

Zippo plays Bari Sax and the heaviest rhythm guitar in the world.
