Concert: Calexico (2003) live at TMF Live | The Music Factory

Calexico, an American indie rock band hailing from Tucson, Arizona, emerged onto the music scene in 1996, founded by Joey Burns and John Convertino, who previously collaborated in Giant Sand. Their eclectic musical style draws from a rich tapestry of influences, blending traditional Latin sounds with elements of country, jazz, and post-rock.
Named after the border town of Calexico, California, the band quickly gained recognition for their distinct sound, often described as "desert noir." Their journey began with the release of their debut album "Spoke" in 1995 under the moniker Spoke, before transitioning to Calexico and reissuing the album in 1997.
Calexico's early years saw them touring extensively and collaborating with various artists, building a devoted fan base. Their breakthrough came with the release of "The Black Light" in 1998, a concept album inspired by the deserts of Arizona and northern Mexico, earning critical acclaim and establishing their signature sound.
Subsequent albums like "Hot Rail" (2000) and "Feast of Wire" (2003) further solidified their reputation, with the latter hailed as a breakthrough album. Over the years, Calexico continued to evolve their sound, exploring new musical territories while staying true to their roots.
Notable collaborations include the EP "In the Reins" with Iron & Wine in 2005, and the full-length album "Years to Burn" in 2019. Their eleventh album "Seasonal Shift," released in 2020, showcased their versatility and creativity.
In 2022, Calexico announced their thirteenth studio album, "El Mirador," continuing their legacy as one of the most innovative and influential bands in indie rock. With a dedicated fan base spanning the globe, Calexico's music continues to resonate with audiences, cementing their place in music history.
