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.

Lucero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't do shit for the heat
The girls in their summer clothes
Only slight relief there's nothing to do but wait it out
The boys in their summer bands
Sweat as they give it their all
The bands might be good
But probably won't last through the fall
Except to sing, sweat and shout
And there's nothing to do but wait it out
The clouds in the summer sky
Don't do shit for the heat
But the girls and the shores
And the summer nights are still nice to see
And there's nothing to do now
Except to sing, sweat and shout
And there's nothing to do but
Wait it out
The lyrics of Lucero's "Summer Song" convey a sense of languid hopelessness, as if the band is stuck in a dull summer of waiting for something to happen. The opening lines highlight the futility of wishing for relief from the heat, and the second line points out that even the scant comfort of summer clothes is not enough to stave off boredom. The lyrics then shift focus to the boys in their summer bands, who are struggling against their sweaty discomfort to give it their all. The second stanza appears to deepen the sense of hopelessness, as the singer remarks that the bands probably won't survive past the summer.
However, the third and final stanza introduces a subtle shift in tone as the singer acknowledges that even though there's nothing to do but wait it out, there are still things worth enjoying in the present. The girls and the shores and the summer nights may not offer any solution for the boredom and heat, but they are nice to see nonetheless. The final lines return to the theme of shouting and sweating, but with a hint of optimism as the band members put their energy into the act of waiting.
Overall, the lyrics to "Summer Song" may seem simple on the surface, but they convey a complex melancholy that captures the feeling of being stuck in a dull season.
Line by Line Meaning
The clouds in the summer sky
Although the clouds are present in the sky, they are incapable of reducing the heat
Don't do shit for the heat
The clouds have no effect whatsoever on the hot weather
The girls in their summer clothes
The attire of girls in summer provides only a little bit of relief from the heat
Only slight relief there's nothing to do but wait it out
The summer clothes provide only minimal relief from the heat, and people can do nothing but wait for the weather to cool down
The boys in their summer bands
Boys who perform in bands during summer
Sweat as they give it their all
Boys put in their best effort despite feeling hot and sweat profusely
The bands might be good
Although the bands may be good
But probably won't last through the fall
The bands are not likely to last beyond summer
And there's nothing to do now
Since the weather is too hot, there is nothing to do
Except to sing, sweat and shout
The only things to do are singing, sweating, and shouting
And there's nothing to do but wait it out
People have no choice but to wait for the hot weather to pass
But the girls and the shores
However, girls and beaches are still nice to look at in summer
And the summer nights are still nice to see
Summer nights are still enjoyable to witness
And there's nothing to do now
Despite the pleasant view, there is still nothing to do
Except to sing, sweat and shout
The only course of action is to sing, sweat, and shout
And there's nothing to do but wait it out
Waiting for the cool weather remains the sole option
