Hp Zinker – Singles 1989-1994 (Box Set)

$103.50

A vinyl-singles-club featuring the cult-band HP Zinker. Hans Platzgumer’s legendary grunge band was formed in 1989 in New York by two Austrians and established itself quickly in NYC’s noise scene. Without pretense, they shared the stage with such bands as Sonic Youth, Ween, Helmet, Lemonheads and the Jon Spencer Blue Explosion. J Mascis drummed with them, Evan Dando sang with them and every month they played the stage of CBGB’s. Two now-legendary US indie labels were founded just for them. Both Matador and Thrill Jockey’s 001 catalogue numbers are HP Zinker records. In 1990 they signed with the London-based label Fire Records. They released five studio albums, countless singles & bootlegs and even received a Grammy nomination. In 1994, after five turbulent years of endless touring and drug excesses Zinker broke up in the middle of a European tour. To this day Hans Platzgumer has vehemently refused a reunion. Most Zinker releases are no longer available. Offering remedy to this deplorable state of affairs, comes Noise Appeal’s limited edition subscription-only HP Zinker-Reissue-Box. Limited to 180 copies. Silkscreened box & covers. Discography sheet, stickers, button, essay book, photo-magazine, usb stick incl. mp3s and live video recordings from WUK Vienna, KAPU Linz, CBGBs New York.
