Let's Active was formed in 1981 by Mitch Easter, a guitarist and songwriter best known as a record producer, with Faye Hunter on bass.[3] Drummer Sara Romweber, then 17 years old, joined to form the original trio two weeks before their first live performance.[3]

The name of the group was taken from a T-shirt sold in Japan bearing an inadvertently nonsensical English phrase (a popular fashion at the time). In a 1984 interview, Hunter said, "It's embarrassing for people to ask you what the name of your group is and you don't want to say it out loud", and noted that the band had been erroneously billed by promoters as "Let's Dance" and "Les Active".[4]

The group played their first performance in November 1981, opening for R.E.M., whose first EP, Chronic Town (1982), was produced by Easter. He also co-produced R.E.M.'s first two albums (1983's Murmur and 1984's Reckoning) with Don Dixon.[5][6]

Afoot and Cypress (1983–1984)[edit]
The band was signed to I.R.S. Records in 1983, shortly after filming the video for "Every Word Means No" as guests on the label's MTV television program, I.R.S. Records Presents The Cutting Edge.[7] According to Easter, the cheaply made "econo-video" was based on the band's concept of having dogs running through the set, "which would make it chaos. But they couldn't get dogs, so instead they got these puppies, which changed the vibe considerably – and changed the worldview of our band for all eternity, because these puppies were just so adorable".[7]

I heard of them back in the early 70's. They were always regard super highly. I listened to them a little bit but never actually bought their stuff probably because of my own situation back then

I saw them at the NY Academy of Music in '74. Third row seats or thereabouts. AN unknown group named Journey was the opening act. They played for hours and hours. Afterwards, I couldn't hear the approaching subway coming. Luckily, the damage wasn't permanent. In those days, folks would pass up and down the row what they were smoking for all to enjoy.
