Mitch Easter & Shalini

Ouch, I wish I’d gotten there first. I was at Mitch Easter’s new MySpace site a couple of months ago, but in the meantime, exciting developments have transpired, and the venerable, indispensable 3hive nailed them. I will therefore exercise proper restraint. I’d like to post all three songs available, but for now will limit myself to one and encourage you to visit 3hive for the rest. I do want all three in that Streampad thingy to the right, though, so in the fairly near future, I’m going to add the others. Easter, of course, was the leader of the great 80s indie band, Let’s Active, as well as producer for many groups, including R.E.M., Game Theory, The Loud Family, Velvet Crush, Marshall Crenshaw, Pavement, and Australia’s The Hummingbirds. He currently performs both solo and in Shalini, a trio fronted by his wife Shalini Chatterjee and rounded out by Eric Marshall, Let’s Active’s last drummer.
