Formed in Chicago in 1991, moved to California in 2003, disbanded in 2007, reformed in New York in 2017, then relocated back to Chicago in 2022, The Flying Luttenbachers recently completed a crushing direct support slot on 8 dates of Japanese Noisesters Melt-Banana May/June 2024 headlining tour. The latest trio formation of the Luttenbachers is a tight, intense, wild beast executing complex compositions with visceral showmanship and presence. The music is hypercomposed BRUTAL PROG – not your grandpa's "prog rock", but an intricate, detailed assault fueled by punk, no wave, free jazz, and extreme metal. As documented on the recent live-in-studio, no bs EP "Spectral Warrior Mythos 2", today's band is on fire. The new proper Flying Luttenbachers' full-length "Losing The War Inside Our Heads" is released on LP/CD/download in July 2024 and the band will be supporting the release with US touring this Winter and a European tour in early 2025.
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. Predictibly 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, a now 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 outerspace minimalism) continued the group's diverse agenda of organizing dissonance and energy.
Never tame or predictable, The Flying Luttenbachers continue to assault musical mediocrity. The latest incarnation of this iconoclastic unit heads in yet another bold new direction . . . After the 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 latest formation is a stripped down power trio featuring Mr. Walter on guitar, bassist Luke Polipnick, and drummer James Paul Nadien.
