Peter Lewis Kingston Wentz III was born on June 5, 1979 in Wilmette, Illinois. He came to fame as the bassist and primary lyricist for the Chicago-based band Fall Out Boy and currently holds the same position in the band Black Cards. Pete grew up in the Chicago hardcore punk scene, and was in several bands before Fall Out Boy, including Firstborn, Arma Angelus, 7 Angels of the Apocalypse / Culture of Violence, Extinction, Forever Ended Today, and Yellow Road Priest. He grew up with fellow band member Joe Trohman. Fall Out Boy is the 4th band that Pete Wentz and Andy Hurley have been in together. Wentz has also written a book entitled The Boy With the Thorn In His Side, a story based on nightmares he had as a child. It is named after a song by The Smiths. He has another book titled "Rainy Day Kids," which was scheduled to be released February 14th, 2006, but has recently been confirmed as a perpetually unfinished project. In addition, Wentz is currently writing another book, alternating chapters with William Beckett of The Academy Is... Wentz has a company called Clandestine Industries, which distributes books and, more notably, clothing, among other things. Additionally, he owns his own imprint of Fueled By Ramen, Decaydance Records, which has signed on several bands, including: Panic! At The Disco, The Academy Is..., Gym Class Heroes, The Hush Sound and Cobra Starship. He also has a film production company called Bartskull Films, which has released the DVD "Release the Bats," a film about Peter, his friends both in and outside of Fall Out Boy, and many Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen bands. Pete Wentz was married for a period of time to singer-actress Ashlee Simpson with whom he had a child, Bronx Mowgli Wentz, however the two announced their intention to divorce in 2011. Fall Out Boy is currently on indefinite hiatus. Though initially Wentz intended to use this time to focus on his private life, he later announced that he would be the bassist and lyricist for experimental electropop band Black Cards fronted by newcomer vocalist Bebe Rexha. The band's debut album is set to release in September 2011.
