"The title should be Greatest This or Greatest Shit or Greatest Hist. Or Greatest Sith or Greatest Isth or Greatest Htsi or Greatest Tish, not because THE FLYING LUTTENBACHERS never had a hit -- 'Pointed Stick' would qualify having been yell-requested by many an Azita Yousseffi-contemporary in beer-soaked conditions (despite their not knowing the title it was the one they wanted) -- but because they're not nearly pedestrian enough for such a generic title, particularly for this...

MySpace Page Holy Smokes is a supergroup which consists of members of Hella, Flying Luttenbachers, Pinback and The Advantage. They were described equally "Voivod if they formed in 20843 and "barefoot shoegazing on a bed of hot coals". So far they produced two records, one of which came out on Suicide Squeeze label and the other [...]
Weasel Walter is an extremely prolific musician and throughout years he worked with countless bands (Lake Of Drakula, Flying Luttenbachers, XBXRX and others). Most of them, however, were on an experimental/avant-garde/free jazz side and it might come as a surprise, then, that Hatewave was a straight-ahead metal band. Trio consisted of Walter, guitarist Sasha Tai (Sasha [...]

Flying Luttenbachers was a creation of Weasel Walter (7000 Dying Rats, XBXRX, Lake Of Dracula) with an ever-changing line-up of performers. The band lasted from the early 90s to 2007 and ended with a final studio album that was essentially a solo record by Walter. In the early 90s, Walter formed an extremely short-lived band called [...]
MySpace Page It's hard for a band to be frightening these days; if it seems like that's what they're trying to be, they're not going to be taken seriously and the most they can hope is that people will think they're campy. The fear has to work on lower, more visceral levels of consciousness, in inarticulable [...]
I've never known quite what to make of The Flying Luttenbachers. They started in 1992 as a jazz/punk trio, and over the years mutated their style with every new line-up, drawing elements from Noh, power noise, classical and prog. And on the surface, there's nothing wrong with that. It's just when you look at the larger picture that things start to get dodgy. What's your opinion on concept albums? A bit naff, perhaps? The Luttenbachers went one stage further. They had a concept career. Over fifteen years they released a string [...]
It's Tuesday night, which means another 5 songs from the vault. Dipping back for some classics this time. Spiral Architect by Black Sabbath, from Sabbath Bloody Sabbath [Warner, 1973] // [ A cool fan video thereof ] When I think Sabbath, my mind tends to wander more toward lumbering giants like "War Pigs," not to a song like this, which builds off a damn pretty acoustic part and features some quite elegant string sections. Even Ozzy, despite the need to include the word "sorcerer" in everything, does a [...]
A lot of latter day doom descendents have been cropping up recently in Sheffield , England. Some of it is pretty typical. Dukkha just released a record whose values seem to be influenced more by Earth and Sunn than by its namesake, what Buddhists often translate as suffering. Released a little less recently, however, Rraapcek's Promo 0407 is a nice surprise. Totally blown out blast beats, varied screams and all sorts of noisy low fi textures swirl around. Rraapcek - Adept Edit Even a little less [...]
