The last of these was one of the inspirations for the Laughing Hyenas, the band Singer Larissa Stolarchuk (under the nom de plume Larissa Strickland) went on to form with former Negative Approach singer John Brannon. In the Hyenas, she switched to playing guitar, relinquishing vocal duties to Brannon. Stolarchuk died on October 9, 2006. Drummer Kory Clarke fronts the long-running band Warrior Soul. Guitarist Dave Rice would go on to form the bands The Linkletters and Sandy Duncan's Eye and at one point auditioned for British post punk band Public Image Limited. In 2020, with the involvement of Sonic Youth drummer and Michigan native Steve Shelley, a long time fan of the band, Third Man Records released a compilation of unreleased L-Seven Demos and live recordings, which includes live renditions of the Misfits song "London Dungeon" and the Alice Cooper song "You Drive Me Nervous". The website Detroit Punk Archive has a compiled an oral history of the band. (en)
