Jelly Donuts (2000), Metal Corner (2004), and The Surface and the Shine (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. Easter dismissed Chatterjee from his band in January 2010, and the two had divorced by 2011. Their "recording relationship" was dissolved prior to the release of Shalini's 2010 album Magnetic North, which was produced by Easter, but on which he did not perform. "Big Star's Third" tour In December 2010, Easter teamed with Chris Stamey, R.E.M. bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Jody Stephens of Big Star, along with a string section, to perform a live tribute performance of Big Star's album Third/Sister Lovers in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Joined by additional performers such as Matthew Sweet, the group performed a similar tribute concert in New York City on March 26, 2011, at the Barbican in London on May 28, 2012, The ongoing project has continued with concerts in Chicago and New York in 2013, a January 2014 concert in Sydney, Australia, and a series of five U.S. shows later in 2014 that included Seattle's Bumbershoot festival and a festival in Athens, Georgia. Performances in 2015 included a September show in Minneapolis and two October dates in San Francisco.
