Calexico

Calexico achieve critical success for their swampy mix of neo-mariachi tunes, indie-rock riffs, jazz swagger, Mexicali blues, and electronic funk. Calexico, from Arizona, was co-founded by Joey Burns guitar/vocals and John Convertino drums. Their latest albums, Feast of Wire and Convict Pool, offer haunting tales of love, death, and betrayal in a variety of musical idioms that reflect the many cultural influences of the American southwest. The layered nuances of Calexico�s �tumbleweed rock� take you down to the border! Get your tickets early for this one - their last tour of Western Canada was a sell out!

�It�s swampy, mariachi-inflected roots rock, with enough steel-guitar twang to make it sound like a long drive down a dusty desert road.� -Esquire
