just heard an old cut on the local alt radio... I knew it was them, very unique sound. Jangle pop, the DJ said, classic Mitch Easter sound. Wonderful!
I love that sound and always have! There is something about that region.
"I'm livin on a blue line..." :hi:
(much more fun than many bands from that time)

5. I knew a guy once who had the idea to name his band |
|
"The Mitch Easter Experience"
He was really into the jangle pop thing.

4. They're still around, sort of |
|
Mitch and Eric are in a band with Mitch's wife Shalini. The tribute album that came out a couple years ago is quite good and worth seeking out

7. Well I still got a bone to pick w/ 'em. |
|
we were gonna open for REM in a college bar early on (obviously) and about a week before date we got a call that Easter's band was coming along and doing the gig instead.
Then, day of the show, club owner calls and asks if we can make the 2+ hour drive up there b/c LA couldn't show (I forget the whole story.)
It was pre-cell phone days and drummer had a sales route, so no way to contact in time.
coulda, woulda, shoulda...
