In late 1986 the learned from empty originating student of law H. P. Baxxter in Hanover met keyboardist Rick J. Jordan , whose band The Matzingers had been disbanded at the beginning of the year, through a newspaper advertisement. A few months later they formed their first band together with Baxxter's sister Britt Maxime and the founding member of The POX Slin Tompson.
The first single, Ordinary Town , was released in 1988 . The second single, Will You Be There , was released by Electrola in 1989 and reached number five on the US Billboard club charts a year later .
