Laughing Hyenas Tour Diary, 1988

I just stumbled across this menacing slice of history while perusing the seldom-updated Your Flesh website, where the famed zine of the same name now lives on in digital bliss: A 1988 tour diary for the Laughing Hyenas, who can easily be counted among the scariest bands of their era, and whose sludgey blues howl hit hard and with daunting precision. The tin-can production values favored by their contemporaries in Pussy Galore was nowhere evident in the Hyenas' catalog -- If Jon Spencer and company evoked the sensations of being roughed up in an alley by a crazed junkie, the Laughing Hyenas summoned the sensations usually associated with being run over by a fleet of trucks. Soundtracking for ugliness has scarcely reached higher plains.

Damnit, no fans of this great band?

Am listening now to "Gabriel"....never head this lot before, but this songs good, very good. Nice rhythm section and shouting. Guitars could be a bit higher in the mix. Must have kicked serious bottom live.

Edit: Good tour diary too.
