The Flying Luttenbachers 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 Ed Rodriguez (Deerhoof), Mick Barr (Krallice), Jonathan Hischke (Hella) and Alex Perkolup (Cheer-Accident). Early incarnations of the Flying Luttenbachers featured noted improvisers Fred Lonberg Holm, Jeb Bishop, Hal Russell, and Ken Vandermark.

In 1995 Walter enlisted an entirely new line-up and the band made their SKiN GRAFT Records' debut the following year.

"Revenge of the Flying Luttenbachers is a turning point, from punk jazz to metal jazz. Dispensing with horns, Walter (on drums) is joined by Chuck Falzone (My Name is Rar-Rar) on guitar and Bill Pisarri (ZZZZZ) on bass, violin, clarinet, etc. The band has the texture and feel of traditional rock, but the songs are anything but. Quick bursts of noisy energy and improvisation are joined by extended guitar riffs and balls-out cock-rock - at times, the album resembles death metal, tempered by the sensibilities of avant-garde jazz." - TROUSER PRESS

"Rarely will you find such a brilliant set of musicians..." - ALTERNATIVE PRESS

"Mindblowingly exciting" - SPIN MAGAZINE

"An all-together different approach to music" - KERRANG!

"Another good reason to quit your band - you can't do this yourself" - YOUR FLESH

"Much more satisfying than a lot of the free-skree Japanese stuff doing the rounds" - THE WIRE

One of the Top 25 Albums of 1996 (along w/ Pearl Jame, Marilyn Manson, Beck, etc) - GUITAR PLAYER
