The Flying Luttenbachers + Don Vito

The Flying Luttenbachers

Formed in Chicago in 1991, moved to California in 2003, disbanded in 2007, reformed in New York in 2017, then relocated back to Chicago in 2022, The Flying Luttenbachers recently completed a crushing direct support slot on 8 dates of Japanese Noisesters Melt-Banana May/June 2024 headlining tour. The latest trio formation of the Luttenbachers is a tight, intense, wild beast executing complex compositions with visceral showmanship and presence. The music is hypercomposed BRUTAL PROG - not your grandpa’s “prog rock”, but an intricate, detailed assault fueled by punk, no wave, free jazz, and extreme metal. As documented on the recent live-in-studio, no bs EP Spectral Warrior Mythos 2, today’s band is on fire. The new proper Flying Luttenbachers’ full-length Losing The War Inside Our Heads is released on LP/CD/download in July 2024 and the band will be supporting the release with US touring this Winter and a European tour in early 2025.

Don Vito

There is no other band that can make such loud noise with such creativity by stepping away from using rock instruments ‘traditionally’. The sudden changes of rhythm, playful drum rolls and passionate shrieks leave you thrilled and out of breath. They’re a teaser to the ears, offering complexity, speed and metal-based rollercoasters in 50-second-song brilliance.
