Joe Piripitzi is an Australian rock musician. He was the founding drummer of the rockabilly band, The Living End, from 1994 to 1996; which formed in Melbourne with Chris Cheney on lead guitar and lead vocals, and Scott Owen on double bass and backing vocals.[1][2][3] Cheney considered Piripitzi to be ideal due to his charismatic appearance.[4] Piripitzi is recorded on their first two extended plays, Hellbound (1995) and It's for Your Own Good (November 1996).
After leaving the Living End, Piripitzi was a drummer for another Melbourne band, H-Block 101, which were a 77-punk-influenced group from October 1996 to mid-1998. He appeared on that group's second album, No Room for Apathy (1997) and their EP, Synergy – recorded in January 1998, but released after Piripitzi's departure.[5]
Piripitzi later joined the Psycho Delmatics under the stage name, Joe Evil.[6]
