Biography
Lucero's punk rock roots flavor their now "country-ish" music, while their Southern roots give them the twang that they have come to be known by. The band played for the first time in early 1998. Since 2001, they have played between 150 and 200 shows a year across the United States and Canada. They have released six full length albums, the latest entitled Rebels, Rogues, and Sworn Brothers.
The members of Lucero are Roy Berry (drums), John C. Stubblefield (bass), Brian Venable (guitar), and Ben Nichols (guitar and vocals), and occasionally Rick Steff (piano, organ, accordion). The band also experimented with guitarist Steve Selvidge in the early months of 2003. Ben Nichols' previous band was Red 40 in which he played alongside Colin Brooks and Steve Kooms.
In late 2008 the band announced they had signed a 4 album deal with Universal Music Group. The band is currently recording demos for their yet untitled major label debut due out summer of '09.
The Last Pale Light in the West, the first solo release from frontman Ben Nichols, will be released this January on the band's own label Liberty & Lament. The 7 song record is inspired by Cormac McCarthy book Blood Meridian.
