| | Mitch Easter - 1985 |
 | | Easter, originally known for his knob twisting with the likes of R.E.M., the Bongos, Pylon, the dBs and Beat Rodeo, has turned Let's Active into a tight little vehicle for his distinctive, idiosyncratic pop songs, which are melodic, textured, haunting and nearly irresistible. |
 | | The EP Afoot was the first waxing from the band (then a three-piece, with Easter, Hunter and drummer Sara Romweber, who left last fall "for the usual reasons"), released in the fall of '83. |
 | | Let's Active was formed at the end of 1981 (although they weren't signed to a label for two years), and a couple of weeks later played their first gig, opening for R.E.M. in Atlanta. |
