Myspace Layouts Bernd Wippich(* 13. Januar 1950) Musiker,gründete 1965 in Darmstadt mit seinem Schulfreund Dieter Heinzmann seine erste Band, "The Beathovens". Weitere Stationen "Mersey Five", "Mersey New" und "Springflute".

Ende 69, Anfang 70 für Klaus Ebert bei "The Petards" eingestiegen. Ende 1972 folgte er dem Ruf Klaus Eberts nach Hamburg.

Klaus hatte ihn einer Band namens "Rattle Pie & Family" als Sänger und Gitarrist vorgeschlagen. Nach diesem musikalischen Irrweg und der Trennung vom Management formierte er mit Dicky Tarrach, Werner Becker und Tissy Thiers die legendäre Band "Randy Pie", zu der später Jochen Petersen und Jean-Jaques Kravetz stießen.

Mit seiner Frau Freya nahm er unter "Freya & Bernd Wippich" (77-79) zwei Alben auf - "In eigener S(pr)ache" und "Friar"

1980 Gründung und LP der Band "Odin" u.a. mit Franz Plasa (Produzent von "Selig" u.a.)

Mit dem Umzug nach München betrat Bernd eine weitere Bühne und wurde der erste "Nighthawk" des deutschen Privatfunks (Radio 1). Es folgte die Mitarbeit beim Aufbau der "Radio 7" Senderkette in Baden - Württemberg. Ebenso viele Studiogigs, Kompositionen und Texte und Produktionen im eigenen Tonstudio für TV (BR3, SAT 1 etc.) und andere Künstler (u.a. Münchener Freiheit, Tommi Piper (Alf), Nicole, etc.).

2002 dem Ruf von Arno Dittrich folgend, ist er wieder ein "Petard".

2009

Nach langen vergeblichen Versuchen, Randy Pie wieder zum Leben zu erwecken, findet Bernd in seiner Wahlheimat Kärnten junge hoch begabte Musiker, die mit ihm gemeinsam als "RANDY PIE Reloaded" den Wunsch haben, die Bühnen zum Beben und das Publikum mit den Stücken aus 4 Randy Pie Alben zum grooven zu bringen.

------------------------------------

Randy Pie were a moderately successful AOR-rock band of the mid-seventies. Their origins lay in the sixties beat group The Rattles, of which Herbert Hildebrandt (guitar), Klaus-Georg Meyer, Bernd Schulz (organ) and Dicky Tarrach (drums) had all been members. In 1972, these musicians assembled under the name Randy, Pie & Family and recorded two singles for Atlantic. At the end of the year they went their separate ways, but Tarrach was determined to go on, and assembled the group Randy Pie with Bernd Wippich (vocals, guitar, ex-Petards), Manfred Thiers (bass, ex-Gash) and Werner Becker (organ, ex-Studiker).

On their first album they played American sounding laid-back rock. For a UK tour in June 1974, Jochen Petersen (sax, guitar, ex-Ikarus and producer) was brought in and added a jazzy touch. The second album should have been named "Sophisticated", but the UK-branch of Polydor rejected this title. The sleeve was changed and the company gave the album a new title: Highway Driver. On this polished album, Jean-Jacques Kravetz (keyboards, vocals, ex-Frumpy) also appeared. There were seven funky jazz-rock songs featuring three-part harmonies, brass and strings, recalling Doobie Brothers or Steely Dan. Few German bands have tried to copy this sound. "Kitsch" (1975) was another album in this direction as was "England, England" (1976), a double live set. Surprisingly enough (considering its title) it was compiled from German concerts.

At the end of 1976, Randy Pie began to crumble: Bernd Wippich, Werner Becker and Jochen Petersen left in that order. "Fast Forward" (1977) was a dubious last effort with new members Peter French (vocals, ex-Atomic Rooster, Cactus) and Frank Diez (guitar, ex-Atlantis, Armageddon, Emergency, Karthago, Ihre Kinder). By the end of 1977 the band had split.

2009

With "RANDY PIE Reloaded" Bernd formed a new band to bring Randy Pie songs back on stage. The idea behind it is to continue the very unique musical mixture of funk, jazz and prog - rock with new material in the near future and playing RP material of 4 Albums, songs that show Bernds skills as a writer

Hi Bernd, I hope things are great with RP Reloaded. Just a quick mail to tell you I managed to visit Große Freiheit this summer, just to feel the atmosphere of the "Kitsch" cover. :)
Cheers !
