Gravel Truck (Let's Active) 10/31/08 @ The City Tap, Pittsboro, NC

Apparently the batch of Let's Active demos I posted on Christmas Eve was a big hit with a lot of people, so I thought I'd share this live curio from Halloween 2008, where an intimate outdoor gathering featured Mitch Easter and friends performing a set of LA songs, billed under the moniker of Gravel Truck.  Two thirds of the original LA trio, Faye Hunter and Sara Romweber are absent, as are just about all the players for the band's final two albums, Big Plans for Everybody and Every Dog Has It's Day.  So who exactly is present and accounted for in this lineup?  Tim Lee of Windbreakers renown among others, as well as Easter's wife and longtime musical coconspirator Shalini Chatterjee. Charlotte local yocal Chris Garges mans the drumkit, and Tim Lee's wife Susan Bauer Lee contributes vocals as well.

As for the performance itself, is the 'magic' still intact?  There's only one way to find out, and by now, you know what ya'll need to do on your end.  BTW, the notes in the folder are not mine, rather I'm assuming the taper.
