<P> I wanted to try some shit that was downright embarrassing at first . This record is a grower, not about what isn't there, but what is . </P> <P> Bassist Michael Shuman (Wires On Fire, Jubilee and Mini Mansions) and keyboardist Dean Fertita (Hello = Fire, The Waxwings, The Dead Weather) took over touring duties from Alain Johannes and Natasha Shneider, respectively . In July 2007, Van Leeuwen stated the band had written new material, "still in its infancy" which Homme later suggested might be released as an EP . Following a subsequent interview with Homme, The Globe and Mail reported that the EP "could contain as many as 10 B - sides recorded during the Era Vulgaris sessions ." It was later reported that the EP would not be released due to the record label's unwillingness to put out another QOTSA release at that time . </P> <P> The band began a North American Tour in 2007, which they named the "Duluth Tour" because they were going to many small towns and cities they had never played before, such as Duluth, Minnesota . The tour was extended to other areas, such as the United Kingdom, where the band played more shows than on any of their previous UK tours . The band toured in Australia in late March to early April 2008, on the V festival tour, including a string of side shows . Throughout the beginning of May 2008, the band completed the Canadian leg of its touring . </P> <P> In November 2007, Queens of the Stone Age performed a semi-acoustic set in an underground salt mine in Germany, performing a selection of hits, rarities, covers and an unreleased song named "Cathedral City ." A DVD of the concert was planned but aside from a trailer promoting the DVD and a number of photographs, no footage of the concert has been released . </P>

Where did the band lucero get their name
