For a few years in the 90s, Vancouver's Mecca Normal headlined (and sometimes sold out) shows on the west coast and in the Northeastern USA, yet, until now, there hasn't been a live album. Mecca Normal's long-running association with the CBC’s Brave New Waves included many interviews as well as songs recorded by Kevin Komoda [Rational Youth] at DNA Studios in Montréal. Mecca Normal’s Brave New Waves session is released on vinyl and CD. The digipak CD comes with a short interview with Brent Bambury, as well as bonus cuts from the CBC archive – not included on the Limited Vinyl.
Released Mid March 2019 by Artoffact Records
