Ticket Giveaway: Lucero at Off Broadway!
November 30, 2010
[show_avatar email=jess@iwenttoashow.com align=left avatar_size=62] Last time punk-infused country rockers Lucero were in town, they labored through late-August St. Louis heat and humidity at LouFest, ending a cut-short set with singer/guitarist Ben Nichols flat out behind the drum kit receiving intravenous fluids from a nurse.

Lucero’s abbreviated performance this summer seemed to do nothing but make St. Louis anxious for the rousing, rough live show that long-time Lucero fans have come to expect. Next Tuesday, the band will descend upon Off Broadway for a concert that is likely to sell out, just like it did last time they played the venue. I’ve yet to see Lucero at OB, but I imagine that Nichols’ weathered growl will be especially affecting on a cold winter weeknight in that warm, friendly room.
Local favorites John Henry and the Engine are slated to open the evening, just days before heading to Nashville to do some recording (P.S. We’ll be giving away tickets to John’s December 10th headlining show at Cicero’s – more on that later).

I had never heard much of Lucero’s music, although I had heard of the band, that was until the first annual LouFest in Forest Park this past August.
Apparently the lead singer was ill, and said he was vomitting the entire trip up from Arkansas, but he still managed to put on a hell of a concert. Perhaps it was the heat, or the Bud Light, or my own personal emotional distress with my significant other that day on the fields of LouFest, but when they played “Drink Til We’re Gone” that’s all I wanted to do – drink til I was gone.
Not only is Lucero one of my favorite skateboarders of all times. They are also one of my favorite bands…please pick me, and I will take Steph :-)
Oh mang I would love to go to this show!
I missed them at LouFest as I went on Sunday and would love to see them!
might as well send some tickets my way.
Lucero rules. Here’s hoping for another ladyfight?
Last time I saw the boys was in their home state of Tennessee. And I gotta say… Nashville kids ain’t worth a Red Piss. Buch of buch of tight pantsed hipster kids too worried about gettin’ good cell phone pics to drink a few too many beers and enjoy the damn show. It was an awful shame. they don’t give a damn about good Rock’n’Roll in the music city anymore.
