Every week, 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 42-year run, with text by vocalist Jean Smith.
A few days ago, David and I did an interview with Martin Douglas of Seattle’s KEXP for one of his long-form articles about musicians in the PNW. I appreciated Martin saying that Mecca Normal isn’t about escapism, but resistance.
