The Flying Luttenbachers perform "Kkringg Number One"

Having toured Europe three times and consistently taken to the roads of the US, the Flying Luttenbachers now make their way to Buffalo where they will perform at Kitchen Distribution on Thursday (Aug. 10). Comprised of Ed Rodriguez (guitar), Mike Green (bass), Mike Barr (guitar), and the stalwart punk oddball Weasel Walter (drums/sax), the Flying Luttenbachers create an improvisational noise that needs no lyrics. From Weasel’s completely insane drumming to Green’s driving bass, the sound shows their 15 years experience. Founding member Walters —formerly of Chicago’s XBXRX— recently relocated the group to San Francisco. He defines the band’s current incarnation (it has had a constantly changing line-up) as a mish-mosh of no wave, hardcore, grind metal, and free jazz, although overall the sound really defies definition. Caustic Solution will also be performing at the show, which starts at 8pm.
