Todd Gill|Lucero is an American punk/country infused rock band that is based in
Memphis, Tennessee .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 (as well as having a considerable amount of influence on
indie rock band Two Cow Garage). 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 andCanada . 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 in '09.Discography
