they're 10 times better than laughing hyenas


I find that extremely hard to believe.


Maybe 5 times better

Everyone who likes rock music needs to hear 'To love somebody' and 'Mississippi Breaks' and 'I'm hell' by Mule. Everyone.

Look, down there. I named one of my bands after a Mule song.


The Laughing Hyenas are such a great band in their genre - insanely angry punk blues - that it's hard for me to imagine anyone better at it. So I guess I really must check Mule out. What's a good starting point?


first three songs on "if i don't 6" kick ass very much. and lenard johns' aka steve albini's prodution is amazing.

S/T. I prefer "Wrung" but s/t is the place to start.

Is anybody hip to "Lying Next to You" by Wig? Long was in the band at that point. The only Wig I ever heard was "Deliverance" which was post-PW and sucked.

They were excellent at that show. I think they opened up with that song off wrung, mentioned above. (Is it 'Searchlight'?) I remember how impressed I was with the sound of his guitar.

The bass player looked like he'd come direct from prison too.

Not crap and marvellous.


Please tell me you were the gent who declared love to the band afterwards at the merch stall only for none of them to understand your accent...

Not me, I'm afraid. I don't even think it was my mate. He was drinking more but I think still coherent and a bit scared of yon bass player.

My friend Jon booked that tour for the band and told me this particular story once and it made me laugh a lot as he managed to nail each accent perfectly in the telling, something that doesn't quite translate on the internet...

that's a bold statement, son. on a good night, the hyenas were a force of nature.

i never saw mule, and I do like their records, and I believe what everybody says in this thread about Mr. Long's guitar prowess, but without Mr. Brannon, you will have a hard ass time convincing me that Mule is better....

Way better. We had a hell of a time following `em, and we were a decent band (at that time).
