The latest incarnation of this iconoclastic unit heads in yet another bold new direction after four full-length albums and numerous shows and tours with the New York-based lineups of the band (featuring various combinations of Tim Dahl, Matt Nelson, Brandon Seabrook, Katie Battistoni, Alex Ward, Wendy Eisenberg, Henry Kaiser, Chris Welcome and Evan Lipson), erstwhile leader and founding member Weasel Walter decided to change up the scenery by heading back to the original ground zero - Chicago. The new group is a stripped down power trio featuring Mr. Walter on guitar, Luke Polipnick on bass guitar, and drummer Charlie Werber. The core material for the current band includes most of 2021s epic, compositionally oriented Negative Infinity as well as new compositions which will appear on the next Flying Luttenbachers album late this year. The 2023 Luttenbachers are a tight, jagged, loud, freaky, explosive, stripped-down affair reminiscent of classic releases like Revenge and Infection and Decline, but moving forward into the future with new variations on ordered chaos that will not disappoint. CHAOS REIGNS! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since erupting forth in 1991, the seminal punk jazz/brutal prog/no wave band The Flying Luttenbachers has steadily deconstructed music, reason, and all notions of sanity on 20 releases and more than 400 live performances around the world. Predictably unpredictable, the Luttenabachers fierce, modernistic approach draws from inspirations like No Wave, Free Jazz, Death Metal, Noise, Modern Classical, Free Improvisation, Punk and the blackest humor possible. (The universe has been destroyed a few times during the course of the cryptic plot running through the releases.) During the initial runs in Chicago and the Bay Area of California, some of the prominent musicians that came through the ranks included: Ed Rodriguez (Deerhoof), Mick Barr (Krallice), Hal Russell (NRG Ensemble), Jonathan Hischke (Dot Hacker), Alex Perkolup (Cheer-Accident), Fred Lonberg-Holm, Ken Vandermark and many others. After a ten year break, The NYC-based Flying Luttenbachers emerged again in 2017 and made a week long tour of France, performing an hour long set of classic material from the entire catalog and culminating at the Sonic Protest festival in Paris. The new-era albums Shattered Dimension (harmolodic skronk), Imminent Death (an angular tribute to 70s Miles Davis), Negative Infinity (a brutal prog highwater mark), and Terror Iridescence (bizarre outer-space minimalism) continue the groups diverse agenda of organizing dissonance and energy. Never tame or predictable, The Flying Luttenbachers continue to assault musical mediocrity.
