Luke Polipnick

To all the amazing moms in my life, thank you, I am so lucky and grateful. I also have 9 aunts and spent much of my childhood at my grandparents with them, so you can imagine why I am the way I am 😂

Open rehearsal at 8:30 tonight at Marmalade in Fulton market for Tommy Carrol’s upcoming recording. No cover, bring a pal. We will kick you out afterwards so you don’t have to worry about being stuck there out of Midwestern politeness.

✦ 𝟏𝟎𝐭𝐡 𝐓𝐌𝐑 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐄-𝐔𝐏 ✦ The Flying Luttenbachers Since erupting forth in 1991, the seminal punk jazz/brutal prog/no wave band The Flying Luttenbachers has steadily deconstructed music, reason, and all notions of sanity on 20 releases and more than 400 live performances around the world. Predictably unpredictable, the Luttenabachers' fierce, modernistic approach draws from inspirations like no wave, free jazz, metal, noise, modern classical, free improvisation, punk and the blackest humor possible. After a ten year break, a NYC-based Flying Luttenbachers emerged again in 2017 and made a week-long tour of France, culminating at the Sonic Protest festival in Paris. The latest formation is a stripped down power trio featuring Walter on guitar, bassist Luke Polipnick, and drummer James Paul Nadien. @weasel_walter @poliphonik @jamespaulnadien The Flying Luttenbachers: Negative Infinity ▶ Weasel Walter – Guitar ▶ Luke Polipnick – Bass ▶ James Paul Nadien – Drums 𝟏𝟎𝐭𝐡 𝐓𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 · 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟐 📅 2026.5.23 21:20–22:20 📍 B10 LIVE @b10live Shenzhen 🎫 Tickets: [秀动 ShowStart] /AELhiV 📝 Ticket Reservation: /f/I1jk7D 🎵 About 10th Tomorrow Festival: /s/OTP8QeJjA8d1XnZE6h6Pzg #tomorrowfestival #B10LIVE #TheFlyingLuttenbachers #WeaselWalter #LukePolipnick #JamesPaulNadien #nowave #punkjazz #brutalprog #noise #improv

Finally getting around to a little NOLA photo dump from an end of Feb/early March supersquad trip with @pemalyn and our chosen family. I love that city so much, I love my friends and the music and food and art there. Not to mention carrying a beer into a cab is pretty novel. As $uicideboys and Mark Kozelek say, I (also) want to die in New Orleans. Just not anytime too soon 😅🥳
