Hintz, was born November 2, 1964, in San Francisco. He grew up in California and later Wisconsin, and began playing music in bands in Milwaukee in 1981. An exhaustive and fairly comprehensive outline of Hintz's recorded output is laid out on the Discography page of this Web site. Most of Hintz's older DIY recordings are now long out-of-print, and even back then were initially only circulated in small batches of anywhere from 25-1,000 copies, owing to their decidedly non-commercial and typically lo-fi nature. Several new recordings of Hintz's more recent noisy and droning and sometimes violent experimental guitar works are currently circulating.
