Will The Flying Luttenbachers reduce Winter Park’s Conduit to rubble? Possibly!

Underground music heads in Orlando have become very familiar with the guitar histrionics of Weasel Walter through his yearly visits as guitar foil to Lydia Lunch in Retrovirus.

However, this particularly chaotic musical polymath made his name in the 1990s with a different ensemble: Chicago no-wave berserkers The Flying Luttenbachers. This was a band that drove the last nails into the coffin of the alternative ’90s with a feral mix of free jazz, grindcore and, yes, first-wave NYC no-wave.

Led by Weasel with a revolving cast of musicians along for the freefall, this was not a band meant to last … but Weasel puts together new lineups whenever the fancy takes him. This time it’s for a few choice Florida shows with the near-equally seminal Shitstorm riding shotgun. And C0mputer is opening, natch! One for the maniacs and the maniacs only.

7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 8, Conduit, 6700 Aloma Ave., Winter Park, conduitfl.com, $20.
