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 36-year run, with text by vocalist Jean Smith.
This was a studio-created song that heavily features my guitar being played to a loop David made and a couple of other songs I’m listening to through headphones. I don’t think there’s any footage of us playing it at a show, but one of my favorite videos of me playing guitar was made in Miami at I.N.C. 2013 with Rat Bastard on guitar and Kramer on bass.
