band: The Flying Luttenbachers

[amoiba]

is The Flying Luttenbachers crap or not?

[sakes]

My ex-band mate Ed just joined this band and seems to like it.
I like the Flying Luttenbachers!

NOT CRAP, I TELLS YA!!!

[Mayfair]

I have not seen the Luttenbachers in a long time but I agree, not crap. Speed metal/jazz that kills people dead is never crap. Plus they did it in a way that often made me bend over laughing. Very irritatingly enjoyable.

[KeithV]

The Flying Luttenbachers, through their many incarnations, have continued to impress me. Wanky enough to attract the interest of "free-jazz-artistes"/"prog-proffesors", yet fun and rocking enough to keep inbred hicks like myself interested.

Weasel Walter is a decent chap, as well.

Best albums are "Gods of Chaos" and the newest one "Systems Emerge From Complete Disorder."

Not crap.

[aaron]

i like them. my favorite is probably "trauma". that shit is brutal.

"revenge of the flying luttenbachers" is really good too, the pink one.
WW has done all kinds of hilarious shit

[Wernehm_Zackariaah]

Oh fuck... I just got back from that Luttenbachers show at Bottom of the Hill. They were actually 2nd on the bill, but it was packed. The people in the back who had obviously not heard this band went from ennui to riveted fascination...

There's a 4th luttenbacher now too... That's fantastic.

Yeah, so not crap. I'm glad they re-located out west. Reminds me of that Genesis song "Motherlode". Go west young man... or not so young man...

This band is the polar opposite of Phish. Everything is so complicated, yet economical. They never tax you with boring, trite, pedestian, blues-based waka waka on the geetar. Everything is so rigid, mechanical, foreign, alien... Like the robot says... "Hi!"

[Wernehm_Zackariaah]

Oh, by the way, I would like to play keyboards for TFL. Here is my resume:

1993 - Canadian leg of Fugazi world tour.

Here's the proof... it's in the puddin'...

[Wernehm_Zackariaah]

Dream show:

The Flying Luttenbachers
Sleepytime Gorrilla Museum
U.S. Maple
5uu's
Thinking Plague
Cheer-Accident
(in no particular order, though Cheer-Ax should do the pre-intermission headline slot)

(intermission)
Fugazi w/ Wernehm Zackariaah on keyboards and guest appearances from members of Dream Theater. (ahhh... just like old times)



Ok... I'm going to drink some maker's mark, enjoy some green tea, and watch the Magma triology DVD... Good night!

[MissAnthrope]

LoveThe Flying Luttenbachers

[Jordan]

Certainly not crap. Revenge of the Flying Luttenbachers. Spastic guitars. Beautiful stuff. Weasel Walter collaborated with Glenn Branca on his most recent guitar symphony: "Hallucination City,' for which I might just make the trip down to New Jersey to see in person this February as it is the premiere.

flying luttenbachers good!

[capnreverb]

sometime mid 90's.
i was living in rogers park in a shitty studio apartment.
i was at home drinking a bunch of beer.
i decided to go practice my bass clarinet.
the place where i could practice and not bug anybody was on the rocks by lake michigan in front of the graveyard between chicago and evanston (calvary cemetary?)
i smoked a fat ass joint on the way to go practice.
at the time i was really into ayler/'trane etc.
en route i walked by this club on Morse street (Morseland,The Tao?) i forget it's name.
from outside i could hear this giant whallup of free jazz noise.
i looked through the window and listened.
i am wasted and have no idea who they are.
i walk in very quickly and go up to the horn player open my horn case and ask if i can sit in.
the horn player says no.
so, i yell "fuck you my man" very loudly at him and walk out and proceed to my practice spot angry and baked and wailed the crap out of that bass clarinet.

turns out the horn player was ken vandermark and the band was the flying luttenbachers.

Sometimes it's good to have a point when you are telling a story, or at the very least make it interesting.
I dont give a fuck about this band, but I have to give your story a CRAP.

[susan]

And since you are EA's toilet you would know a lot about crap.

[Marsupialized]

And since you are EA's toilet you would know a lot about crap.

I thought we had settled our beef, Sooze.
Ok, I will sweeten the deal....a trip to Old Country Buffet beforehand, plus I will allow one picture to be taken of the actual act I described earlier so you will have proof to show your friends that it actually happened.
Deal?

[susan]

just what everyone wants to see - a filthy shit stained toilet brush massaging my clit at an old country buffet. will you please vomit on me afterwords my lil' emo toilet bowl of alpha maleness?

I didn't say I would do the actual stimulation AT the old country buffet, that's kinda silly. That place is full of old people just waiting to call the cops...and can you imagine the shitstorm my publicist would have to navigate if I were arrested finger banging an overweight fan at a discount buffet? No, the manual stimulation of your jungle area will occur in the front seat of my 96 saturn. Bring whatever CD you want to listen to as it goes down.
Susan, you and I both know this is the best offer you are likely to get for a LONG time. Plus I'll have a funny story to tell on David Letterman one day.

[capnreverb]

Hey Marsupialized, i'm trying to get a handle on your purpose here. Why is it that every time I see your name posting about something you have to be negative or a jerk. I just don't get it. Is being unpleasent all the time a way that you feel better about yourslef? A while ago you posted some ugly comments about Rachael and I. What gives? Have we met? Why would you attack people personally you have never met in such a bogus way. It's one thing to crap/not crap my music or diss one of my opinions, but to call me and Rachael out is pretty petty and small of you. All bullshitting aside, what makes you so above everything. It seems pretty obvious that you enjoy being some anonymous jerk putting everything and everyone down. Who the fuck are you besides some typing troll with nothing nice to say about anything. I'm a real person that can be found, who can be held to his opinions. My music is out there for you or anybody to hear and like or not like. You can even call me sundays at the radio station. You on the other hand are this anonymous not very nice person who hides behind some male bravado and empty rudeness as a way of expressing who you really are. No one here likes you as can be seen by the comments that always follow one of your little man posts.
I know your rebuttle to this will be some put down or negative crap, because, from what I can tell thats all you have. It is people like you that make me not post on here very much anymore. You are like the person who was not invited to the party, shows up anyway, is rude to everybody, not gratefull for anything, makes a mess, steals shit, and won't leave when everyone else is.
To put it simply in a way that you should understand, you are not a good person.
Please fuck off and die asshole.

[steve]

I don't know why, because I should like it very much based on any description of it, but I have always hated the Flying Luttenbachers, on every exposure. I have actually hated almost everything I've ever been exposed to that Weasel Walter has done.

There was this magazine, Lumpen, which embodied a kind of snotty "look at me!" prankless-pranksterism that I detested immediately. Almost every Weasel Walter enterprise has smacked of this Lumpen-ish self-obsession, this irritant-for-the-sake-of-irritation... I guess you'd have to know what I'm talking about to know what I'm talking about.

Anyway, crap.

[BadComrade]

The only thing Weasel Walter ever did that I enjoyed was play bass in a Motley Crue cover band that played (maybe only) once at Lounge Ax called "2 Fast 4 Love" or something like that.

Flying Luttenbackers... not so much.
