Next Show = Ben Nichols from LUCERO

the next show should be a unique one. This past Sunday, the Revival Tour stopped at the Casbah in San Diego. If you haven't heard of the tour, it's Chuck Ragan (of Hot Water Music), Tim Barry (of Avail), Tom Gabel (of Against Me), and good ol' Ben Nichols from Lucero. They start the show as a group, playing a few songs together, and then they each do solo sets, and then close it out all together at the end.  Anyhow, Robb and I brought our big band van down, and set up a few mics in it, and we were able to kidnap Ben after the show and have him spill his guts for about half an hour. He played a few songs, too. I personally think it's one of the coolest things ever to hear Ben make Almost Famous references somewhere past 3am, in a van, and then play a new, unreleased Lucero song. Sooooo, tune in to Songs of National Freedom this next tuesday, November 11th to hear this half an hour of gold, as well as some other good music about how good it is to be alive.
