Lucero sings about 'The Weight Of Guilt', and I know of what they speak I am coming clean. The MOG blackout that happened a couple of weeks ago was all my fault. I had a few too many one night, came home and started drogging...and drogging...and drogging. I was TOTALLY abusing my power as a CIA operative. I probably shouldn't have drunkenly posted where Jimmy Hoffa's body can be found(although I have to say that even while intoxicated, I managed to include a nifty link t... MORE

At the Langhorne Slim show last night I spent a good hour or so talking to the roadie for the band. Is 'roadie' still the politically correct term? I would call him a guitar tech or something, but since LS plays the same acoustic guitar the entire night, that doesn't seem appropriate. Roadie it is, but I digress. We were jus talking about music in general(he says the single greatest song ever written is 'Hang On St Chrisopher' by Tom Waits) and about all of the tours he ... MORE

The frontman of Lucero, Ben Nichols, has contributed a dirty new blues track called "Dog Day Night" to the Arkansas Compilation CD, available now from Thick Syrup Records. Described by one as sort of a Black Keys meets Thorogood-vibe.

If Ben Nichols writes about you, you’re probably pretty OK. In "Tears Don’t Matter Much," easily one of our favorite Lucero tunes, off "That Much Further West," Nichols canonizes a few of his songwriting pals — Matt Bradley, Doug Deluca, and Cory Branan. The song poignantly captures the very nature of being a fan — [...]

October 20 can not get here fast enough...i love this band SO much! While the rest of the world is getting giddy over new Radiohead(i am already sick of hearing about the new record and its not even out yet), I will be rocking out to Ben and the boys in Lucero.
You can have your art...I will stick with rock n roll and Lucero

So a couple of weeks ago a band that I like a lot came through town again. Lucero. Seen them three times in the last two years. And while they are an accomplished band that has worked very hard I have a hard time labeling them. When they started it was traditional, old school, country. Then it became a bit more electric. And I was trying to describe them the other day because they went through the alt-country thing and now it is almost southern rock with a hard/punk ... MORE

And so the rambling begins... I listen to music every waking and most sleeping minutes of every day. Today it's Ben Nichols, 'Here at the Starlight'. I saw Lucero open for DBT in Birmingham in 2006 and have never been so impressed with an opening act. Splattered with beer, played with passion, driving hard. Often, I'm just playing it in my mind, sometimes very loud. Often I dream guitar parts, I wake and I can play them, or at least a version. I'm no great musician, bu... MORE

hahaha blair (aka ex-mogger satisfied614) likes me better than you! nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah! :P
ok...i'm done being obnoxious and smug...but seriously though blair is awesome and he's willing to put up with my sarcasm and vaguely arrogant retorts (at least for the duration of a lucero concert). so thanks blair...you may never see this, but yay you!

Sweet exhaustion

LA wins this round! Me and my friend Libby spent ALL day driving around cool Los Angeles neighborhoods to look at apartments that we really can't afford. The traffic here is worse than you imagine, the cost of living is worse than you imagine, and getting around as a new guy in town is at best tricky...and at worst absolutely a lost cause! And I have loved every second of it...sure it's stress, but it is stress filtered through new experiences and new beginnings. The str... MORE

Ben Nichols' raspy, southern rock delivery

How about feeling sad and sitting in a bedroom that overlooks the city of London skyline and feeling lonely while listening to Lucero?
Oh yes please...!
Instantly makes my mood much much better in a "this is the worst day of my life" kind of way.

No actually...i am far too aloof for that. But I was hoping to be a tortured singer songwriter who drinks to much and sings hundreds of songs about loves lost and the meaning of life...one who records a bunch of great music to little or know fanfare while he is alive but finds critical and commercial success long after he is gone...one who dies young, but not to young, but definitely doesn't fade away...the next Nick Drake maybe, that would be grand. I was driving arou... MORE

So yesterday, Sunday-hungover-Sunday, me and a friend headed over to Antonio's for a slice of the best pizza in the northeast. While trying to decide what slice to purchase (out of the 40 or so), I noticed that some amazing yet familiar-sounding music was blaring sufficiently out of the sound system and hitting my ears rather nicely. So trying to sound as bored as possible, you know how it goes, I ordered my two slices from "Hipster Pizza Guy" behind the glass. Me: "y... MORE

I don't like Interpol. And I don't like Radiohead. I can see their talent, but for whatever reason they just bore me...i guess I just don't connect with their music on ANY level.
But I love Lucero. A great bar band that plays songs about girls and drinking. Not exactly reinventing the rock n roll wheel, but they do what they do so well. They capture that American angst of not fitting in SO well.

I am SO looking forward to seeing Lucero in LA in October. I have this great visual in my head of what the show will look like. Hordes of drunken Midwestern transplants all gathering at some nice Hollywood night spot...acting like we are in town on a three day pass from the 'hills'
Should be the best culture clash EVER!
