¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I just checked their myspace out today for the first time... wow, I cant believe i've been sleeping on this. I'm really into this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Lucero are fun live, especially if you're drunk. They have some really good songs, my only problem with their albums is none of them are solid through the entire record. There's at least 3-4 weak tracks that I skip in each record, sometimes more.

jhulud Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 They are an awesome band. The guy that does my tattoos turned me on to them. He's a huge fan and knows the band from back even before they were together. He went to college with Roy (drums). He would always wear a Lucero shirt and has stickers all over his tattoo station. I asked him about it and he told me the story and recommended which albums...coincidently enough, they came through town some time after that and we went. One of the best shows I had been to in a long time. We ended up doing shots with Roy and Ben before they went on and needless to say, we were all drunk as skunks. I know...pics or it didn't happen...sadly, no pics taken as I didn't have my camera with me... I saw them again earlier this month when I was in Boston to see ISIS...they played at the Middle East the night before the ISIS shows... Good times...great band...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted November 30, 2007 Author Share Posted November 30, 2007 are they pretty big? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 In the grander scope of things...no...but they have a pretty large following in the "underground" music scene...Their shows generally sell out...but then again they play relatively small places. They pretty much tour all year long. If you get a chance, there are two documentaries on the band that are really good and well-made. "Dreaming in America" and "Bright Stars on Lonesome Nights". It gives you an idea of how they are live and also how hard they tour and the toll it takes on them at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirbypuckett Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 are they pretty big? They drew a decent sized crowd at Smalls. A buncha of folks are into 'em -- book them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benchwarmer Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 i need to see this band live. I was super bummed when I saw them. They were drunk beyond being able to function, so their set just fell apart about half way in. I was really disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riddle350 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I saw them open for Ted Leo awhile back and was blown away. They actually closed with "The War". I had the chills the entire song. That Much Further West is probably the only album of there's that I can listen to all the way through though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lokithelion Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I've seen them about 10 times and they've only been so drunk they weren't amazing once. Give them another shot. One of my absolute favorite live bands ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest abravemorning Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Anyone know if "Rebels, Rogues And Sworn Brothers" was released on vinyl? Not that I am aware of. I am 90% I saw this on vinyl at Shangri La. They're stuff is pretty easy to find in Memphis record stores. I know for sure Shangri La has "Nobody's Darlings" and the Loggia split, and Spin Street has "Attic Tapes" reissue. I never got into them big. They remind me too much of Ryan Adams, whom I have an absolute disdain for courtesy of danalive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Tennessee is probably the closest to being a "skip-free" album for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously didn't get the memo that you're supposed to get drunk when seeing them too, that way it doesn't matter if they're drunk b/c you're drunk and they sound amazing either way...

See also: When they came through Orange County earlier this month on their tour they played some shitty all-ages no bar type place. I had to sneak in a couple flasks of rot-gut whiskey. I kept buying Coke's at the snack bar and my friends and I kept passing a can of Coke around, I'm sure it was pretty obvious, but we got pretty drunk. I wound up heckling Brendan saying I wanted to fight him and then I insisted that everyone take off their pants (nobody did). Moral of the story: Gotta see them drunk.

Guest conoley Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 When I saw them for the first time on the way to the Fest is was one of the best nights ever. The day I was born was rad as well. At the Fest, Brendan was wasted the whole time, it was amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
