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 31-year run, with text by vocalist Jean Smith.
Grand Announcement!! We’ve revealed the name of the mysterious figure in the Mecca Normal video “What’s Your Name?” It’s none other than solo bass player Wendy Atkinson, whose new album The Last Fret is on Smarten UP! & Get To The Point.
Wendy also plays bass in Horde Of Two (also on Smarten UP!) with her husband David Lester (of Mecca Normal).
OK, OK … so Dave and Wendy went on vacation to Cuba, and I used Dave’s footage of Wendy walking through the streets of Havana to make a Mecca Normal video. That’s just how we do things around here.
