H.P. ZINKER / SCARABEUSDREAM

H.P. ZINKER Resurrection in 2026 31 years after playing their last concert in Rotterdam, the austro-american cult band H.P. Zinker is back on stage! The legendary grunge trio around Hans Platzgumer returns. Founded in 1989 by two Austrians in New York, the band quickly established itself in the NY noise scene. They shared the stage with Sonic Youth, Ween, Nirvana, Helmet and the Lemonheads, J Mascis drummed for them, Evan Dando sang, and they played CBGB's monthly. Two of today's most influential US indie labels were founded specifically for them: Matador and Thrill Jockeys 001 catalog number is an H.P. Zinker record. London label Fire then signed them, which later became Domino Records. 5 studio albums, numerous singles, bootlegs, videos and a Grammy nomination to their credit. In 1994, endless tours and drug excess took their toll and Zinker disbanded mid-tour after 5 turbulent years. For decades, Hans Platzgumer refused a revival. Back in Europe, he joined Goldenen Zitronen, founded successor band Convertible, had worldwide hits as Queen Of Japan, became a successful electronic musician, theatre composer and writer. But now, to many's surprise and delight, he says: "The time is right. Something like Zinker needs to be on stage again today, because it's missing." After 32 years, it continues!
