About The Flying Luttenbachers
The Flying Luttenbachers is an American instrumental unit led by multi-instrumentalist, composer, improviser and producer, Weasel Walter. The Flying Luttenbachers have created a body of work focused on musical extremity and dissonance. Over the course of the band, the personnel has shifted numerous times around the artistic leadership of Walter. The music ranges from intense all-acoustic free improvisation, to complex and modernistic rock composition; electronic noise to punk-inspired jazz. Walter has been quoted as drawing inspiration from the fields of punk, death metal, free jazz, and no wave.
Walter moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2003, where he reformed The Flying Luttenbachers with the addition of bassist Mike Green, guitarist Ed Rodrigues and later Mick Barr. The Flying Luttenbachers officially disbanded in 2007.
In 2017, after a ten-year hiatus, an incarnation of The Flying Luttenbachers with Walter on drums, joined by guitarist Chris Welcome and bassist Tim Dahl, played several shows in France. In 2019, a quartet arrangement of the band released Shattered Dimension, with Walter, on drums, joined by saxophonist Matt Nelson, and bassist Tim Dahl. Over the next several years, the varying lineup also included bassist Evan Lipson, guitarist Brandon Seabrook, guitarist Henry Kaiser, guitarist Wendy Eisenberg, guitarist Katie Battistoni, guitarist Alex Ward, and drummer Sam Ospovat.
