Grover - Yeah, I'm Dumb - 1995
from the Zero Hour release "My Wild Life"

Grover was the short-lived trio led by ex-Let's Active guitarist (and the former Mrs. Mitch Easter) Angie Carlson, backed with drummer Chris Phillips, and bassist Dave Burris. Their sole album, My Wild Life, was released by Zero Hour Records in 1995, but pretty much disappeared immediately. Phillips went back to his day job as the drummer for the Squirrel Nut Zippers. Burris (see Light In August) switched to guitar and formed the eclectic alt-country act Jolene with ex-HardSoul Poet John Crooke. Carlson largely retired from music, taking up a position as an editor for a North Carolina alternative weekly newspaper. Angie now works for Yep Roc in Carrboro, NC.

Band Members:
Angie Carlson - Guitar, Vocals
Chris Phillips - Drums
Dave Burris - Bass
*Mitch Easter - Heavy Bass
