Laughing Hyenas - That Girl: Live Recordings (1986 - 1994) [2xLP - Black/White Swirl + Bonus 7"]

Release Date: February 20, 2026
Label: Third Man Records

With their roots firmly planted in Detroit's Cass Corridor punk rock and hardcore scene of the early 80s, John Brannon (Negative Approach) and Larissa Strickland (L-Seven), along with the locked in rhythm section of Kevin Strickland and Jim Kimball later (after Kevin and Jim left to form Mule) Ron Sakowski (Necros) taking over on bass and Todd Swalla (Necros) handling drum duty, the Laughing Hyenas took it to a completely different plane. Taking pointers from The Birthday Party and Funhouse era Stooges as well as early blues and jazz artists, the Laughing Hyenas were a fierce, sulfuric blast of noise. The sinister and hypnotic bass riffs, and tribal swing laid the perfect framework for Larissa's (she only picked up a guitar a couple months before the band was born) slicing, jagged, she might even be murdering that thing guitar playing and John Brannon's devilish howl.
