Human Resources is pleased to present Jean Smith and David Lester, better known as indie band Mecca Normal. Mecca Normal, the underground literary rock duo (K, Matador, Kill Rock Stars) will be playing new songs before heading into the studio to record with KRAMER in November. Jean Smith and David Lester will also be reading from their books and presenting "How Art & Music Can Change the World" classroom and library events.

Vocalist Jean Smith is the author of two published novels and a two-time recipient of Canada Council for the Arts awards. She has recently completed two novels (literary fiction) The Black Dot Museum of Political Art and Obliterating History – a guitar making mystery, domination and submission in a small town garage. Mecca Normal's new songs are directly from these texts.

Guitar-player David Lester is the author-illustrator of The Listener graphic novel – the story of Hitler’s rise to power and a cultural activist questioning the power of her art. The Listener (Arbeiter Ring Publishing, 2011) was a Foreword Reviews Book of The Year finalist. Royalties amounting to $2,200 from his first book, The Gruesome Acts of Capitalism, were donated to The Canadian Centre for Victims of Torture.

Jean Smith and David Lester have been presenting "How Art & Music Can Change the World" in classrooms, libraries and art galleries since 2002 http://howartandmusiccanchangetheworld.wordpress.com
