there was no Laughing Hyenas thread so I am making one

In honor of their "new" live 2LP that just came out, one of the very best live bands I saw in the later 80s. saw them once more on the Life Of Crime tour and the scary junkie vibes were def there, a sad story but I've glad John Brannon is still alive.

So, what the hell is Larissa doing on guitar in this pic? I know she was self-taught but damn...

Check it out, I never got to see them live, I was def aware of them in the era but even just listening to the records they had a terrifying vibe. Those records sound better and better to me all the time, they were really a singular band. I appreciate Bannon refusing to reunite the band in honor of Strickland. I posted about it in the Negative Approach thread but the Steve Miller book from last year is great, def worth the time. I am excited for the live record, can't wait until Third Man finally ships my pre-order.

One of my old bands played a show with Bannon's Easy Action back in the Ugly Aughts and he spent the whole time before they played out in the parking lot sitting in the open door of their minivan smoking cigarette after cigarette with demonic intensity.

I got that book because of you! it's very good, yeah.

Check it out, this 92 set at the Metro opening for the Jesus Lizard
