Black Vinyl. Formed in 1991, Sukpatch is the Minneapolis-based trio of Chris Heidman, Steve Cruze, and Steve Hermann. Fusing the influences of the indie rock scene of the Pacific Northwest and early 90's hip-hop, they cemented their status as LoFi pioneers, eventually inventing the hip-hop infused bedroom-pop genre.Sukpatch first took shape through traditionally indie rock homemade cassette recordings. In 1993, their sound came together on their cult classic, Lite Hits.
