Timeline

1954

Mitchell Blake Easter (born November 15, 1954) is a musician, songwriter, and record producer.

1970

At the age of 15, in 1970, Easter joined the band Rittenhouse Square which included friends Chris Stamey, Peter Holsapple, and Bobby Locke.

Membership in the band changed frequently.

When the Sneakers disbanded in the late 1970s, Stamey and bandmate Will Rigby formed the dB's and moved to New York.

Easter did likewise, but soon returned to Winston-Salem.

1972

The group released an independent album in 1972 but broke up in 1973, after its various members went off to college.

1974

He attended the University of North Carolina from 1974 until his graduation in 1978.

He played in a number of school bands, some of them with his childhood friend Chris Stamey (later of The dB's).

1978

In 1978, Easter joined Stamey's Sneakers, a band that Easter characterized as "pre-punk transitional".

Prior to Easter, the Sneakers released a self-titled 7-inch EP (with original guitarist Rob Slater) and one album with Easter replacing Slater, In the Red (1978).

1980

In 1980, Easter started Drive-In Studio, a professional recording studio located in what was originally his parents' garage.

One of his earliest recording sessions was the debut single by R.E.M., "Radio Free Europe".

Drive-In Studio became an integral part of the local indie-rock scene of Winston-Salem, recording a number of bands at low "knock-down" rates.

1981

Frequently associated with the jangle pop style of guitar music, he is known as producer of R.E.M.'s early albums from 1981 through 1984, and as frontman of the 1980s band Let's Active.

Easter was born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, to Ken and Elizabeth (Lib), and became deeply involved in music from an early age.

As a record producer, Easter is probably best known for his work with R.E.M. from 1981 through 1984.

Since 1981, he has produced, engineered, and often made musical contributions to albums from many other recording artists, including Donna the Buffalo, Mary Prankster, Ex Hex, Ben Folds Five, Pylon, Helium, Pavement, Suzanne Vega, Richard Barone, Game Theory, The Loud Family, Marshall Crenshaw, The Connells, Velvet Crush, Ken Stringfellow (of The Posies), and Birds of Avalon.

In 1981, Easter formed Let's Active with then-girlfriend Faye Hunter and drummer Sara Romweber.

Around the same time, Easter worked with R.E.M. to record their debut single, "Radio Free Europe".

This initial work led to a number of collaborations with the band, with Easter producing their debut EP and (with Don Dixon) their first two albums.

Let's Active toured with R.E.M., which led to a recording contract with I.R.S. Records.

Although Let's Active was not commercially successful, Easter's offbeat style of guitar-based pop music, which came to be known as jangle pop, was considered a major influence on groups such as R.E.M.

1983

On the I.R.S. label, Let's Active released the EP Afoot (1983), and the albums Cypress (1984), Big Plans for Everybody (1986), and Every Dog Has His Day (1988).

1986

Easter had previously worked with Ziegler when he produced Game Theory's 1986 album The Big Shot Chronicles.

1989

A compilation CD, Cypress/Afoot, was released in 1989.

1990

After weathering several line-up changes, Let's Active was disbanded by Easter in 1990.

By 1990, Easter had become known primarily as a producer and engineer.

During the 1990s, Easter rarely performed or recorded his own music, although he did join Velvet Crush as a touring guitarist for a time in the mid-1990s.

1994

Easter closed the Drive-In Studio in 1994, and moved from Winston-Salem to Kernersville, North Carolina, where he opened his current recording studio, Fidelitorium Recordings.

1999

Asked in 1999 about his favorite projects as a producer, Easter cited R.E.M.'s Chronic Town and Game Theory's records – Real Nighttime (1984), The Big Shot Chronicles (1985), Lolita Nation (1987), and Two Steps from the Middle Ages (1988) – which Easter called "a lot of fun, because of the variety in the way they approached recording".

2000

In 2000, Easter re-teamed with Let's Active member Eric Marshall and with Shalini Chatterjee (who married Easter in 2003), to form the trio Shalini.

The three also briefly played under the name The Fiendish Minstrels, which featured Easter's lead vocals, as well as a selection of Let's Active tunes in its repertoire.

With Easter as guitarist for the band Shalini, as well as its producer, Shalini released the albums We Want Jelly Donuts (2000), Metal Corner (2004), and The Surface and the Shine (2007).

2006

In January 2006, the Sneakers played a reunion show in New York.

2007

Mitch Easter released his first solo album, Dynamico, on March 13, 2007.

The record was the first on his own imprint, Electric Devil Records, and was initially distributed by 125 Records.

Dynamico marked Easter's first work as frontman of a band in the 18 years since he disbanded Let's Active.

Easter formed a combo that toured with him in 2007 in support of the album, with the group Shalini as the opening act, to promote Dynamico and Shalini's 2007 album The Surface and the Shine.

2014

In August 2014, Easter and Sara Romweber reunited Let's Active for a benefit performance, inviting former Game Theory bassist Suzi Ziegler to join the group.

2015

In the Red has been reissued on CD by East Side Digital and Collectors' Choice Music, and in September 2015, Omnivore Recordings reissued the Sneakers EP as a CD with five bonus tracks.
