Grew up listening to the Hyenas out here in Melbourne, Australia and they had many Australian fans. Pity we never got to see the full force fury of a Hyenas live show at the Tote with say the Powder Monkeys. Now that would've been something! Always amazed at the huge guitar sound Larissa got and the layers she worked into that sound. RIP from all the Hyena fans here in Australia. This is very sad.

I haven't seen Larissa for years but she had been emailg me from Florida.One time,in about sept 90,I was out drinking in NYC until the bars closed and I took Larissa back to crash at the Carlton arms on 25th st where I was staying,I went out to pee in the toilet down the hall wearing just my underwear,when I came back,the door had locked,I banged away at it going Larissa,Larissa! but she was totally passed out, finally I busted the door open with my shoulder and the lock flew across the room! she still didn't wake up,I had to crazy glue the lock back on.My band Lubricated Goat,played and hung out with the Laughing Hyenas a lot on our first tour in 89,on the second tour in 90,Hazelmeyer had given strict orders that we weren't allowed to hang out together,'coz we might "Get up to no good!" I always had a great time "Getting up to no good"with Larissa,but especially seeing her rocking out on her beloved brown strat covered love notes from the Stooges and Sonic youth in silver ink.Rock On "UP there", Larissa!

but she had been emailg me from
Florida.One time,in about sept 90,I was out drinking in NYC until the bars closed and I took Larissa back to crash at the Carlton arms on 25th st where I
was staying,I went out to pee in
the toilet down the hall wearing
just my underwear,when I came
back,the door had locked,I banged
away at it going Larissa,Larissa!
but she was totally passed out,
finally I busted the door open
with my shoulder and the lock flew across the room! she still
didn’t wake up,I had to crazy glue the lock back on.My band
Lubricated Goat,played and hung out with the Laughing Hyenas a lot on our first tour in 89,on
the second tour in 90,Hazelmeyer

Larissa had a life before music - art - and it earned her full-access-backstage photo passes to the *first* KISS tour at Cobo hall (Detroit,MI). Cream mag printed her pic w/KISS backstage. Larissa was then a sophomore in h.s. (iirc). on the next monday southfield highschool went berzerkerz. Larissa moved to NY to do art for Casablanca and/or KISS for a while. Last time we saw each other was when she came over to my place in A2 totally lonely - abandoned. this is very difficult for me to write, i think you understand. all she ever wanted was to 'be part of,' 'to be included IN' ... and all the guys had run away that night (1994/95). from my perspective Larissa contributed far more quality and quantity to art and music with her energy and her magic than she got credit for and she was feeling abused and left out more and more often. she needed to be noticed. now i feel lonely, totally lonely. i'm happy to hear she got married. i hope that was a GoodThing (tm) for her. good night sweet princess; better dreams this time, i hope. i just learned of this tragedy in the past couple days. it’s made me ill for those couple days and will probably make me ill again when i think of Larissa’s untimely passing – and i will.

this is very difficult for me to write, i think you understand.

all she ever wanted was to ‘be part of,’ ‘to be included IN’ … and all the guys had run away that night (1994/95). from my perspective Larissa contributed far more quality and quantity to art and music with her energy and her magic than she got credit for and she was feeling abused and left out more and more often.

she needed to be noticed.

now i feel lonely, totally lonely. i’m happy to hear she got married. i hope that was a GoodThing ™ for her. good night sweet princess; better dreams this time, i hope.
