Their music is part punk, part country, part rock 'n roll. But the band's members are all original. Steeped in the musical tradition of their hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, Lucero is a breath of fresh air in today's songs without substance musical landscape. As humble as they are talented and as ingratiating as they are introspective, the band is at home wherever they can play their songs and rest their heads. And with two documentaries on the band, along with a mock army formed in honor of their drummer, Lucero's legions of fans are spreading the word. One show. One record. One day at a time.

"... So it was bleeding and I went into the bathroom to clean it up and stuff. I went to open the medicine cabinet from the right side, but it opened from the left side. And, so, I went to open it and the whole thing came off the wall. So then I knew he wasn't there and I wasn't feeling too good and I had a Sharpie in my pocket and I wanted to make sure he knew what happened, so I signed the medicine cabinet."
