Internationally, David Lester and Jean Smith are best known for their work as Mecca Normal -- the underground rock duo with a 20-year history of combining dynamic music with powerful lyrics that deal with social concerns. At home in Vancouver, Lester is a well-respected visual artist with 25 years experience, and Smith is perhaps better known as the author of three novels, two of them published.
