One of the most powerful and punishing rock bands of the '80s and '90s, the Laughing Hyenas merged the deep-focus throb of the Stooges with the bluesy, scuzzed-up post-punk of the Birthday Party and Pussy Galore. At first, the band specialized in noisy, menacing dirges overlaid with the tortuous, throat-shredding vocals of frontman John Brannon, best heard on 1989's You Can't Pray a Lie and 1990's Life of Crime. As time passed and their lineup shifted, the Hyenas' blues connections became more and more explicit, looking back to the Rolling Stones and original sources like Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters on 1995's Hard Times. The Hyenas weren't quite prolific enough to take their place alongside similar indie stalwarts like Royal Trux or the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, but they cast a long shadow over the Midwest independent scene in the years that followed and would enjoy a revival after their catalog was reissued in the 2010s. The Laughing Hyenas were formed in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1985 by vocalist John Brannon, formerly of iconic Detroit hardcore band Negative Approach, and guitarist Larissa Strickland, who'd been playing her instrument for a scant six months and had previously sung in a local group called L-Seven (not the L7 who later went on to grunge-metal fame). The two added bassist Kevin Strickland and drummer Jim Kimball, and quickly made a name for themselves on the Detroit-area scene. Signing with noise rock specialists Touch & Go (who had released Negative Approach and L-Seven's work), the Laughing Hyenas issued their six-song debut EP, Merry Go Round, in 1987 with production by a pre- Nirvana Butch Vig. The full-length You Can't Pray a Lie, also produced by Vig, followed in 1989, and the group went on tour supporting Sonic Youth as well as performing steadily as a headliner in the Midwest. 1990's Life of Crime was hailed by many as the Hyenas' most fully realized album to date, but it proved to be the original lineup's last hurrah. Kimball and Kevin Strickland both departed to form the roots-punk outfit Mule with P.W. Long in 1991. Brannon and Larissa Strickland regrouped with a new rhythm section of bassist Kevin Reis and onetime Necros drummer Todd Swalla. The new version of the Hyenas were still finding their feet when they cut the Crawl EP in 1992, but further turnover ensued when Reis decided he couldn't tour as extensively as the band wanted. He was in turn replaced by Ron Sakowski, also a former member of the Necros. After honing its chemistry via heavy touring, the band finally returned in 1995 with Hard Times, which eased back on the force of their heyday in favor of a leaner approach more clearly informed by the blues. After touring in support of Hard Times, the Hyenas split up in late 1995. In the late '90s, Brannon and Sakowski came back with the aggressive hard rock act Easy Action, which issued a self-titled debut in 2001. Jim Kimball went on to collaborate with Jesus Lizard guitarist Duane Denison in the Denison-Kimball Trio, and signed on as the Jesus Lizard's drummer in 1996, staying in the band until 1998. Larissa Strickland dropped out of music, and passed away on November 4, 2006. In 2018, Jack White's label Third Man Records, in tandem with Touch & Go, launched a series of remastered vinyl reissues of the Laughing Hyenas' entire catalog. Happy Penguin Jumps Around Zoo While Others Look Annoyed. We all have a different way of expressing happiness. Some people may walk around with a big smile on their face whereas, for others, you may just see a twinkle in their eyes. Then there are some who cry tears of joy and those who jump up and down and can’t seem to contain their happiness; they start to give positive vibes that they can’t control. Our little penguin buddy in the video below comes from the latter group of people. Now, we’re not quite sure why this little guy is so happy, it may be because of all the visitors that came by to see him, but he sure knows how to be a happy camper. In the clip, you’ll see a penguin jumping up and down and flapping its wings. He’s got so much energy in him and it seems like jumping is the way to get it all out. Although passersby were probably amused to see him put on his little happy dance, his fellow penguins look quite unimpressed. Perhaps they’re upset because this hyper penguin is thumping all over them and is not sorry at all! By the looks of it, all his other friends were having a quiet and relaxing day; they just want to lounge around and lay back, and do nothing. Is that too much to ask for? Our Happy Feet friend probably thinks everyone should join in on the fun! Click on the link below and watch the little penguin put on a fun and cute show for the zoogoers.

Where book love and the joy of a classroom community are shared. Nonfiction Picture Book Wednesday: Jumping Penguins. It’s Nonfiction Picture Book Wednesday! This title is difficult to categorize. It is definitely nonfiction. A fact book of sorts. A book of art. That too. Quirky, odd, fantastic. All of these things. Some of nature’s truths displayed a little more graphically and gruesome than one might usually find in children’s literature. . . Cannibalistic crocodiles munching each other for lunch. But also absolute charm conveyed through simple text and illustrations that go where our imaginations might. A polar bear is left handed as are most artists. This line is illustrated by a polar bear holding paints having just painted a self portrait. What exactly is this book I am describing? A gorgeous animal concept book illustrated by Marije Tolman with text by Jesse Goossens : Jumping Penguins (published in 2013 by Lemniscaat) In the Netherlands this title is published under this title: Jumping Penguins and Laughing Hyenas. There is an index in the back. It lists 27 animal names and the pages they are featured. That is about as far as a nod to typical organization of nonfiction texts might take us. Otherwise it is all whimsy. Wonder. Amazement. Each fact is given some elaboration or not. But each one is illustrated not realistically but more in a what might/could this mean if we thought creatively about it. Penguins can leap six feet in the air? So . . . do they stand around and watch graceful leaps out of the freezing sea? The illustration suggests just that. What were particular wow facts/illustrations for me? An adult porcupine has 30,000 quills on its body which are replaced every year (the illustration shows us porcupines using discarded quills to erect a fence around their property) The ribcage of a hippopotamus is so large , the average seven year old could stand inside of it. Sumatran tigers do like water – in fact they have webbed toes and can swim more than fifteen miles. Find the book and be delighted and informed in the most wonderful of ways. Amazing animals. Yes, truly. Thanks to Alyson from Kid Lit Frenzy for the inspiration to read and share more nonfiction picture books in 2014! Follow the link to Alyson’s blog to read about more nonfiction titles.
