Now that The Flying Luttenbachers are no more (TMT News), Weasel Walter (XBXRX, Burmese, Lake of Drakula) is bustin a move on the free improv world, jammin' with anyone he can. He'll soon be hitting the road for the next few months, tearing out your ears with his brand of high-energy, brutal free-improv.

For the U.S. portion of the tour, Weasel will be cruising around, tapping into each town's free improv circle for each show, as well as doing one No Wave video lecture at Bard College. For the European portion, he'll join up with Sheik Anorak and Mario Rechtern for a week, Mary Halvorson and Peter Evens for another week, Marco Eneidi for a few dates, and then finishing up the tour with one date in London with Evan Parker and Peter Evans.

Tons of new releases on his ugEXPLODE label, so check them out. And check out Leveer's recent DeLorean review of The Flying Luttenbacher's 2007 release Incarceration by Abstraction here.
