If ever a band deserved an LP of live material, it’s the Laughing Hyenas. As Wolf Eyes’ Aaron Dilloway so eloquently put it, “The Laughing Hyenas were the scariest band I have ever seen.”
Though the band recorded three blistering LPs and an array of singles and EPs – much of which was reissued by Third Man in 2028 - before calling it a day, their true legacy lies in their brutal, unforgiving live performances, including countless headline runs, tours alongside Sonic Youth and Killdozer, and myriad college radio sessions across the country. That Girl – Live Recordings 1986-1994 now serves as a long overdue reminder of the Laughing Hyenas’s orgiastic power and one-of-a-kind gale-force fury.
