Tony/Gypsys - New Single 10/14/22
The world is...
"Finding its way into the more delicate and beautiful realm of Tony Mecca's work, "THE WORLD IS ..." preaches constant optimism, no matter what the circumstances, and an eternal plea for hope, peace and love when we pass "beyond the door." Deliciously adorned with the unique and striking artwork of Gypsy's guitarist Steven Wiggs, "THE WORLD IS ..." will move you ... in a beautiful way."
Downloading this song (at a price you choose) helps us create more music for you. Thanks in advance for your love and support.
Tony/Gypsys New Single - 7/20/22
How Much Did I Lose?
"Stephanie Davis' vocal performance achieves a beautiful melancholy in wondering what could have been, but also, the power attained via the strength that "moving-on" through life provides. Complimented by the wonderfully striking artwork from Gypsy guitarist, Steven Wiggs, this song has been a complete joy from the moment I started writing, until the final mix at Cambridge SS with Jim Salamone."

How Much Did I Lose / The World Is...
The boys and girls have been very busy working on new music. Four new songs have been recorded, or are in the process of being completed. The first singles will be "How Much Did I Lose." This is an introspective look back on decisions that resulted in opportunities lost. Stephanie delivers a emotive lead vocal that both laments and celebrates these memories. The other single is "The World Is..." This one goes back about 10 years. We just never were able to record it back then. Now its meaning is more relevant than ever. We are trying hard to release these sometime in late May. Stay tuned!

Habits / Mecca / Tony Mecca Archival 1/7/21
New Projects & Plans Coming!
Habits / Mecca / Tony Mecca Archival Project
Titled "ANGELS IN A STORM" - this 4 Cd set features entire live performances by Habits from April 1984, and Tony Mecca from September 1986. Both shows were recorded at the iconic Galaxy in Somerdale New Jersey. And that's only one Cd!
All of the studio recordings and Tony's home demos are here. The Mecca "Fearless" album is presented with 2 bonus tracks! And if that weren't enough, there's a 12 song acoustic album that Tony recorded in 1988/1989 that no one has ever heard. Interested?
The 1984 performance came when the band was firing on all cylinders. There was big management, and the record company interest was warming. The 1986 show, with the band now playing as Tony Mecca, featured some new member, many new songs, and although a short-lived live configuration of the group, they play with great emotion and energy.
The "Kindness" Album
Recorded simultaneously with Princes of the New Dark Age in 2003-2005, Kindness is a soulful trip into a mashed-up array of melodic, musical genres. The songs are written by Tony, and his long-time partner, David Decca. David played a huge part on the Purple Monkeys, Princes of the New Dark Age and Hello, Goodbye ... albums, providing all the keyboards, and some brilliant arrangements. He also collaborated with Tony on the keyboard arrangements on several songs on the Fun album, including "Witch Jenny?" Kindness boasts such exciting and beautiful work, that you will surely be asking yourself ... "Why wasn't this music released 15 years ago?"
A "Re-Release" of Fractured Poetry
As you know, our new album was released in July/August 2020. Smack in the middle of the Covid attack. In fact, yours truly (the invincible Annie Helicopter) was on my back - Vid stricken and in quarantine - when we officially released. The album sold surprising well all things considered, but with no live shows or release parties, aggressively spreading the music is very difficult. So we've decided to start all over when Vidzilla (hopefully) becomes a fading bad memory. Are you game?
Hope you like what we've got planned, and until next time, remain in love with your passions!
Love & Care Always,
Annie Helicopter 1-7-21
