The Flying Luttenbachers Essentials

Led by maniacal drummer Weasel Walter, the combustible avant-garde unit known as The Flying Luttenbachers combined the distorted roar of noise rock with the shriek of free jazz at its most unhinged. Over the band's 15-year run, the lineup often included legendary names from the world of experimental jazz and free improv. But if you dive into the group's unruly catalogue, you'll also be confronted with jagged no wave, thrashing extreme metal, and fiendishly complex prog rock, executed with intricate musicianship and deranged intensity.
