Every Saturday, we’ll be posting a new illustration by David Lester. The Mecca Normal guitarist is visually documenting people, places and events from his band’s 30-year run, with text by vocalist Jean Smith.
The new Mecca Normal album, Empathy For The Evil, is finally out. A full three months after we completed our Boston-to-D.C. tour in October, CDs and LPs are finally available online and, ideally, in record stores.
The album has already charted number one at WNYU (New York University) and CKUT (McGill University, Montreal) and number two at CITR (UBC, Vancouver), KAOS (Olympia) and CJSR (Edmonton).
Quite a few reviews and interviews have already appeared.
