1) Lucero is an American country-punk rock band that is based in Memphis, Tennessee. Their punk rock roots flavour 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 eight full-length albums, the latest entitled Women & Work.
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). Todd Gill substituted for Brian Venable from 2003 to 2004. 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 four album deal with Universal Music Group. Their album, 1372 Overton Park, was released October 6, 2009.
The Last Pale Light in the West, the first solo release from frontman Ben Nichols, was released in January 2009 on the band's own label Liberty & Lament. The 7 song record was inspired by Cormac McCarthy's book Blood Meridian.

Martes que tragedia se enojo el profesor
Miércoles examen semestral a las 10
Jueves en la tarde al dentista otra vez
Viernes gracias a Dios es viernes,
Gracias a Dios mañana hay otro
Fin de semana para disfrutar.
Lunes a las 10 la misma historia otra vez
La primera guerra y la segunda después,
Martes de regreso hay una gran congestión
Miércoles y jueves ya no se ni quien soy
Viernes, gracias a Dios es viernes, gracias
A Dios mañana hay otro fin de semana
Para disfrutar
Hay una fiesta aquí a la vuelta
Pronto me van a llamar a ver si puedo,
A ver si llego tengo ganas de bailar.
Ocho de la noche a ver si pasan por mí
Ojala que puedan solo así puedo ir, si me
Tardo un poco nada habrá que temer
Pues mañana es sábado no hay nada
Que hacer
The lyrics of Lucero's song Viernes depict the monotony of daily life through the lens of the weekdays, with each verse recounting a particular event that happens on each day of the week. The song begins with the routine of waiting for the bus on Monday morning, followed by the frustration of an angry teacher on Tuesday. Wednesday brings the pressure of an important exam, and Thursday is spent at the dentist. However, the mood of the song shifts drastically when Friday arrives, and the singer expresses sheer excitement and relief that the workweek is over. They are grateful for the weekend ahead, and seem to anticipate a fun time. The lyrics end with the anticipation of a nearby party and the singer's desire to dance and let loose.
While the song may seem simple on the surface, it captures the feeling of repetitive daily routines that can make one feel trapped and drained. The excitement of Friday and the anticipation of the weekend just adds to the longing to escape and enjoy life. The song's lyrics can be interpreted as a commentary on the monotony of life, and the need to find joy and excitement whenever possible.
