Let's Active and Guadalcanal

Ballroom on Friday with their
versions of modern, stinging,

bands, Let's Active seemed to

audience.
Guadalcanal Diary's 45-minutc
set consisted mostly of guitarrock
dance numbers from their
debut album, Walking in the
Shadow of (he Big Man, along
with a few new songs. Unfortunately,
it looked more like a
job than a pleasure. Each band
member seemed to be playing as
an individual, not as a whole.

sound system, the band didn't
appear too enthused about the
show. They had little eye contact
with one another and didn't
answer an encore call.
After an intermission to allow
the crew to switch equipment,
Let's Active took the stage. They
lived up to their name, being
more responsive and reactive
with the audience throughout
their 80-minute, two-encore set.
Founding band members
Mitch Easter and Fayc Hunter
traded off lead vocals throughout
their set. They wcaved an interesting,
melodic pattern of
dance music. The audience
couldn't help but obligatorily
dance, even if some were unfamiliar
with the music.
Hunter played a mean bass. Interim
drummer Rob Ladd was a
blurry array of flying arms, sticks
and blond hair, and he kept a
good, hard beat throughout the
show. Angie Carlson played very
little keyboards, concentrating on
rhythm and acoustic guitars
instead.
Their set consisted of material
from their last two albums,
Afoot and Cypress. They also
played a few numbers from their
forthcoming album. They joked,
bounced around the stage and
switched instruments. They even

Mitch Easter. Let's Active's lead singer,
threw in a surprise cover of
Cream's "Sunshine of Your
Love."
The lack of keyboards,
especially apparent on their new
songs, may suggest a harderedged,
guitar-oriented sound for
the band. Indeed, Mitch's guitar
was at the forefront of the show.
However, this deviation made
their music no less enjoyable or
