Lucero

“According to Pekar, “These Lucero guys make me happy about life, ya know? The American spirit flows with these Southern gentlemen, yes indeed, Southern gentlemen with a full tank of gas, that’s the idea behind this video, to showcase the band’s right of passage from vans to tour buses.”

Yeh. I know. I love how like, everyone else is in bathing suits and they're fully clothed.

I know right--you see these girls in skimpy bikins and the boys from Lucero fully clothed--hell not even in shorts

Misinterpreted, this almost makes it look like you're complaining too... j/k

you would respond with a link that has "bitch" and your personal twitter/tumblr in it....rather than just posting a link to the tour dates from the official band site.

nobody's darlings is more of a rock album...while Tennessee and That Much Further West are similar in style.

Are there forum rules against that?

Another good boot from the soundboard

Lucero: February 6, 2009 Terminal 5 – Flac and MP3 Downloads

Review by Johnny:
I can honestly say that I hadn’t heard a note from this band until they stepped on the stage at Terminal 5. Led by Ben Nichols, Memphis-based Lucero seem to be cut from a different part of the same whiskey-soaked cloth as Drive-By Truckers and the Replacements that Bruce Springsteen had used to wipe his brow. They present a rollicking good time that would make seeing them in some boozy little southern fried bar a mind-blowing event. Not to say their set at Terminal 5 wasn’t awesome, but equipment problems plagued guitarist Brian Venable for the first part of the performance, eliciting a few snickers from the crowd whereas in a smaller venue the throng would’ve been passing shots up to the stage in an effort to relieve the group’s frustration. Kudos to them for keeping their sense of humor through the ordeal and putting on a great show. The beautiful interplay of the pedal steel and the keyboards didn’t hurt either. The only way to say it is that these guys ripped. If this is what they are like on an “off” night, I can only imagine the experience when they’re “on”. As I stated earlier, I hadn’t heard of Lucero prior to this show. But rest assured, at least one of their albums will join me at the register next time I’m in a record store and I’m damn well going to see them the next time they’re playing a gig in town.

Our recording position in the venue was the same as for the Black Keys and Heartless Bastards. Aside from the chatter during the low-volume parts and the guitarist’s equipment troubles, the mix was about as good as it gets in this venue and the resultant recording sounds really good. Enjoy!

This is a soundboard recording, and quite frankly sounds amazing. I’d venture to say the quality is as good as the Dreaming in America album.
