That session with a few other Seattle music veterans would become Luna Moss, a dream-pop band rooted in the Pacific Northwest’s ethereal beauty. Back in the late 1980s and early ’90s, Easter was the front-woman of Common Language, an all-female post-punk band known for brooding vocals and ethereal sound. Hood Community College, Easter landed in Seattle “on a whim and a coin toss.” It was the late 1980s, and the city’s alternative music scene was buzzing. She formed 5 Sides Collide with then-partner Nick Currie, then moved on to form Common Language in 1988 with Mary Lake and Gretchen Wenner. By 1995, Common Language had run its course and Easter stepped away, soon to pursue a literature degree at the University of Washington.
