I'm Not Happy This is a cool record. It's L/H's first work in digital format. We recorded it on adats, that's
cheap digital. There was no money and we had no experience in the format, but we were game. The songs were written thru '93. These were really dark times for L/H. Hard rock was out of fashion and L.A. rock in particular was passe. We rented minimal gear and recorded for about 6 weeks in the beginning of '94. The sound was horrible compounded with weak performances; we were bummin'. We decided to start over. Our time was not wasted, in those 6 weeks we learned how to record in digital, the arrangements came togetherand we fought hard to make the record come alive. "I'm not Happy" sums up how I felt during that period.

We recorded for another 6 weeks, the art was ready, the finished record was turned in at a cost of about
10 grand and lots of free labor. After shopping and being rejected by everybody, Mayhem came to the plate
and picked up the record worldwide. We sold around 30,000. 10,000 in the States,20.000 in Europe. L/H did approx. 100 dates in support of the record. At the time, we were good live. We were trying to prove that we were legitimate I think we were. I heard the intro of Superfragilistic last week on the Howard Stern show; I was drivin' down the street and I thought, this sounds familiar, hey wait a minute that's L/H.
