About this Event
The Flying Luttenbachers (CHI)
https://theflyingluttenbachers.bandcamp.com/
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 perform- ances 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 cryp- tic 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 (Kral- lice), 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 al- bums “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, Bran- don 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. Wal- ter on guitar, bassist Luke Polipnick, and drummer James Paul Nadien
