Mitch Easter 12.21.06

Mitch Easter is a North Carolinian who has been a major influence on the southern indie scene as a musician and producer. He fronted the band Let's Active, and is responsible for producing early R.E.M., as well as albums from Game Theory, Velvet Crush, and Pavement. Mitch blazed through a hot set of classics on Thursday night to an intimate crowd of devoted fans. That's his wife, Shalini, on the bass in the pic below. He took a few requests, then concluded the show by bursting through the roof in his glass elevator. A sweet christmas treat.
