After the release and relative success of Blinker the Star's debut album, Jordon Zadorozny moved the band to Ontario to join a much larger music scene. He continued to perform with them promoting a local following, but he also joined another band in 1994 called Tinker.
Tinker was made up of Jordon on guitar and vocals, Steve Durand on guitar and vocals, Melissa Auf der Maur on bass, and a non-specific Tony on drums. Tinker released two singles and bartered a handful of high-profile gigs in the area, but the main lineup dissolved after Melissa was recruited to join Courtney Love's band Hole. Of the original four, only Steve Durand stayed on board Tinker and recruited replacement players in bassist Eric Digras and drummer Patrick Conan. The trio continued to record a sort of alternative metal (much removed from the group's original indie sound) and released Tinker's only album in 1996. The band ceased soon after.
Here is the discography surrounding Tinker's debut album:
Realalie (1994 single)
Green Machine (1994 single)
Receiver (1995 EP)
Soft Shell Friend
Sunshine (1996 single)
