Summer 89 sees Hans Platzgumer and his mate Frank Puempel move to New York City where they start the infamous indie-group H.P. ZINKER which quickly becomes rooted in the Lower Eastside-scene, playing with bands like Sonic Youth, Ween, Helmet, Lemonheads or the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. MATADOR Records is set up to release the first Zinker album 'And There Was Light'. While the band leans more and more towards progressive hardrock they release more albums and videoclips on ROUGHNECK (London) and THRILL JOCKEY (Chicago).
