[3] Drummer Sara Romweber,[4] then 17 years old (a full decade younger than Hunter and Easter), joined to form the original trio two weeks before their first live performance.

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".

However, the band was kept alive by Easter, who played as Let's Active with Hunter and two members of The Windbreakers, Jay Peck (drums) and Tim Lee (keyboards), until a new permanent lineup was established.

[10] The band's second full-length album, Big Plans for Everybody (1986), was largely a solo recording by Easter, who played most of the instruments himself and handled the mixing and production.

After the dissolution of Let's Active, Carlson went on to form the band Grover in 1993, which released a single and one full-length album, My Wild Life (1995), with Easter producing some of the tracks.

The same three musicians 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 their repertoire.

[16] Easter invited former Game Theory member Suzi Ziegler to join the group, stepping in to fill Hunter's role as bassist.

[17] The trio, supported by keyboard player Missy Thangs (of the Love Language) and vocalist Lynn Blakey, performed a set that included "Every Word Means No" and "Edge of the World".

[7] According to Billboard, the 1984 song "Every Word Means No" was a "quintessential gem" of its period, and the early Let's Active was "one of the more intriguing garage pop bands", with "endless hooks and cleverly skewed lyrics".

[9] AllMusic's Mark Deming wrote that the group's recordings established that Easter "deserves to be acknowledged as one of the finer songwriters of his time and place," and "by all rights, should have made him the darling of the college radio (and maybe even the pop charts) with their sharp hooks and insightful lyrics".
