Lucero has long been admired in their hometown of Memphis, where they have hosted The Lucero Family Block Party every spring for a number of years. At the 2018 Block Party they celebrated their 20th anniversary as a band, with the city’s Mayor Jim Strickland officially declaring it ‘Lucero Day.’

The group found their name in a Spanish/English dictionary. Lucero is variously translated as bright star or morning star. None of them can speak Spanish.

THIS SHOW IS STRICTLY 18+

Well.....it's finally time.

The 3rd and Final 7 Inch Vinyl release in the series will be launched @ the Gem in conjunction with our 'Tour Goodbye' show. It's either our last show before the European Tour or....could it be our First Show of the Tour?? You decide.

We'll be launching our next recorded project, it's the 3rd and final in the 45rpm's we're producing for 2018. The Double A Sided Vinyl titled 'Goodnight, Good Luck, Goodbye / Handful of Cash (Eyes Turn to Trash)' are another couple of tracks we recorded at the fabulous Los Bomberos Studio in Clifton Hill with the amazing David M Turner Esq. at the helm lending his ear, advice and twiddling the knobs.  

So come on down to the Gem Bar for another blast of a show to help us celebrate the trio of records we've launched and to say your farewells before we head off on our 3rd European Tour.

You know what they say......all good things come in threes.

3 Band Members....
3 Vinyls.....
3 European Tours.....

The Rechords head back to Ballarat to perform at the brand new venue run by the fabulous Dani Fry (ex-Suttons House of Music now under the banner of just 'House of Music')...... the MINERS TAVERN.

We love performing in Ballarat and are so glad that there is a new venue to come back to and it just so happens it falls on the same weekend as the town's Ballarat Beat festival (but our show is not associated with the festival).  We'll have both our recent 7 inch Vinyls available for purchase at the show, the most recent being the double A Sided 'Have You Seen My Baby Tonight / Lying Lips'.  We're looking forward to seeing all our regional fans again.

Two huge sets kicking off from 8:30pm till 11pm.

Tickets just $20 (available here - https://ballarattickets.com.au/event/6403)

The second 7inch Vinyl release from The Rechords will be happening inconjunction with the new annual 'Heartaches & Hangovers' event at the Thornbury Theatre in you guessed it..... Thornbury (Vic).

TICKETS AVAILABLE VIA THIS LINK

Heartaches & Hangovers is a new regular honky tonk night in the Thornbury Theatre’s Velvet Room on the second Saturday of every month. Unique to this night is the supreme pairing of community radio legends Denise Hylands (Twang -Triple R FM, Saturdays 2pm -4pm) with Dave Heard (Acid Country- PBS FM, Thursdays 3pm - 5pm) as resident DJs going back to back playing your favourite country tunes including a few by the night’s namesake George Jones that will be sure to get feet two stepping on the dance floor.

'LYING LIPS + HAVE YOU SEEN MY BABY TONIGHT' is the next Double A Sided 7" in a series that are being released over the next 12 months from the trio and they are honoured to launch it at this incredible night at one of Thornbury's most iconic venues and some of Melbourne's legendary community radio personalities / announcers from PBS & RRR fm.  This will be a great night folks so get on down to support your local music community and grab your limited edition vinyl on the night.

The new single releases continue for Melbourne trio The Rechords from the collaboration with producer/engineer, David M Turner Esq. The second of many releases to come from these sessions is the Double A side 7" record “Lying Lips/Have You Seen My Baby Tonight” .
The Rechords draw on many influences from the Americana genre with particular roots in the golden tones of the 1940’s, 50’s & 60’s. A stripped back line-up of acoustic and electric guitars with an upright bass allows their rich three-part harmonies to shine through while ensuring the rhythm is still upfront and strong.
“Lying Lips” sees the Rechords tap back into their vintage country roots to lament the dangerous temptation of alluring beauty everywhere.
'Those lips are only lying to you...' the high harmonies cry '...they won't only break your heart, they'll ruin your mind'!
“Have You Seen My Baby Tonight” is a teen-rebel anthem of being restless and pining for that special someone. Lush 3 part harmonies paired with a desperate rock'n'roll tone accompany
dramatic lead vocals from both Leo & Felix.
These are songs written and delivered with authenticity from a group taking their music in an exciting new direction.

This is it folks......the results of their blood, sweat & tears over the last 9 months. The band have been keeping a relatively low key, simply working on new recordings to release and share with their fans. They formed a great working relationship (and friendship) with David M Turner, Producer & Engineer of Los Bomberos Studio in Northcote, Victoria. With the Dave & Assistant Engineer Kyle Lane and the amazing writing talents of both Felix and Leo, the band have created 10 studio tracks so far (with more in the works) which we have decided to release as a 'collection' of double sided Limited Edition 7 inch Vinyl records. These will be released over the next 12 months, with their intention to release two new tracks at a time every 2 to 3 months.

The first two tracks hot off the production line are 'MOCKINGBIRD' and 'SEEING THINGS' which some might be familiar with from some of our recent live shows in the past. Well now you can take them home with you, both on Vinyl format as well as being available in the usual Digital Download option. Remember folks, these Vinyls will be limited to just a run of 200, so get in quick if you want one!

The Rechords are putting together a big 'ol bash at one of Melbourne's most unique venues, the Gasometer Hotel in Collingwood with it's optional 'opening roof' band room. It's the perfect opportunity and they have invited Special Guests, The Bon Ton Rhythms to help celebrate.
