Hi Everybody -

The Flying Luttenbachers are back. The new New York City-based trio, featuring Weasel Walter (drums), Tim Dahl (bass guitar) and Chris Welcome (guitar), will focus on new interpretations of classic material, while expanding the sonic possibilities into the present. March 2017 marks the first Flying Luttenbachers performances in more than a decade. The new band will be inaugurated in France over the course of seven shows - and if all goes well, there will be more to come.

The Flying Luttenbachers originally existed between 1991 and 2007, running a renegade stylistic gamut from hardcore Free Jazz improvisation to rigorous modernist composition, under the dictatorship of composer and instrumentalist Weasel Walter. Alumni of the group include experimental rock heavies Ed Rodriguez (Deerhoof / Colossamite / Gorge Trio), Mick Barr (Krallice), Jonathan Hischke (Hella / Holy Smokes) and Alex Perkolup (Lovely Little Girls / 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 for The Flying Luttenbachers SKiN GRAFT Records’ debut. Imagine Derek Bailey, Immortal, No New York and Fushitsusha all rolled up into one.

Now regarded as a milestone in extreme outsider music, with the release of 1996’s “Revenge of The Flying Luttenbachers", Weasel submitted his own Anti-Life Equation: FREE JAZZ = DEATH METAL.

To kick off SKiN GRAFT's "Year of Falzone" and celebrate the band's return, "Revenge" is being made available on vinyl for the first time in 20 years - and in a newly remastered MOD CD edition.

“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

Hi Everybody -

This is Mark filling in for News Desk Reporter Jazzy Joe Romita. It's time to announce the third LP from YOWIE - but before we get into that, I should mention that over the last few months our Bandcamp Store has continued to balloon in size, and so I've updated our Catalog Page here at the website to allow folks to choose which storefront they prefer right at the onset.

FREEDOM OF CHOICE!

If you're looking for digital downloads or digital and physical bundles, head over to the Bandcamp Store - or you can visit our long standing (and newly updated) SKiN GRAFT Paypal Shop which has plenty of titles currently unavailable in the Bandcamp Store - including Distributed Items, T-Shirts and Merchandise - as well as some bargains here and there for those willing to rummage around.

Even more titles will be added to the Bandcamp Store in the weeks to come. The new YOWIE is available to pre-order in both shops, and you can preview YOWIE's "Absurdly Ineffective Barricade" at Bandcamp now!

Y O W I E - photo by Mabel Suen

Since 2000, St. Louis’ YOWIE has been perfecting a unique form of progressive rock that incorporates complex polyrhythms and guitar dissonance. Operating within its own unique idiom, YOWIE rejects rock music’s typical foundation of common time signature and standard melodic structures.

Special Edition LP

Compact Disc

For their 3rd album, “Synchromysticism,” the band has used these tools, as well as the drummer’s (a clinical psychologist) understanding of signal detection theory and delusional mood to convey complex phenomenological concepts in a highly visceral form. This album, the first with guitarist Christopher Trull (formerly of Grand Ulena) marks a new level of ambition in terms of conceptual complexity, synthesizing opposing compositional approaches into a distinctive style that simultaneously elicits feelings of euphoria, perplexity, dread... and an inexorable urge to dance.

TRACK LISTING:
1. Ineffable Dolphin Communion
2. Mysterium Tremendum
3. Absurdly Ineffective Barricade
4. The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You
5. The Reason Your House Is Haunted Can Be Found On This Microfiche

“Extreme technical proficiency is taken to new places. There’s a slippery, rubbery quality to the sound and playing too. Though hyper-precise, there’s lots of swing to the drumming, lots of bent notes and sliding on guitar strings. When Yowie does fall into a groove - for about 6 seconds - it’s never in 4/4 time. It’s hard to believe these 3 people found each other to form this band.” - No-Core

"In the midst of some of the most virtuosically talented and respected musicians playing today, Yowie is singular... Watching them live is like witnessing a reptile birth a human; utterly perplexing, yet amazing.” - KDHX

Poster: Front

“As frenetic and intense as anything you'd hear from the likes of The Dillinger Escape Plan but without the vocals or as much distortion... could match any tech metal or grind band in a contest for intensity.” - Dont Count On It

“To say that Yowie exists outside of genre understates the band's utter lack of convention. Yowie naturally, and somehow seamlessly, undermines classic notions of style or song structure.” - StL Mag

"The climax of rock music. This is outsider music for our entire dimension. No band has had this sort of vision since Beefheart marinaded us with tales of Big Joan's anatomy. In the dozens of times I've listened to this album I've never heard the same album twice." - Loving Peter Cetera
