The Flying Luttenbachers is a seminal
band which originally existed between 1991 and 2007 and ran a renegade
stylistic gamut from hardcore Free Jazz improvisation to rigorous
Modernist composition, uniting many threads of outsider aesthetics
under the dictatorship of composer and instrumentalist Weasel Walter.
Alumni of the group include experimental rock heavies like Ed Rodriguez
(Deerhoof), Mick Barr (Krallice), Jonathan Hischke (Les Butcherettes, H
ella)
and Alex Perkolup (Cheer-Accident), as well as noted improvisers Fred
Lonberg Holm, Jeb Bishop, Hal Russell, and Ken Vandermark. Over the
course of 16 official releases, The Flying Luttenbachers stood for
everything bracing and cathartic in modern music before the project
ended.
March 2017 marks the
first Flying Luttenbachers performances in more than a decade. The new
New York City-based trio, featuring Weasel Walter (drums), Tim Dahl
(bass guitar) and Chris Welcome (guitar), will focus on new
interpretations of classic material, keeping the thread of the project
while expanding the sonic possibilities into the present.
