Calexico live at Paradiso

Calexico is a Tucson, Arizona based rock band, who are known for their eclectic repertoire, varying from americana to indie and alternative to folk. Although the variety of styles, Calexico's music always echoes the atmosphere of the deep American South and Mexico.

Comprising of core-members Joey Burns and John Convertino Calexico came into existence in 1996, after releasing the debut LP Spoke.

Burns and Convertino first started playing together as the rhythm section of Giant Sand in 1990. After forming Friends of Dean Martin for two years they finally started Calexico, named after the North Carolina border town.

With the extensive list of records and collaborations Calexico released through the years, they build up the reputation of always delivering quality. As they did again on 2008's 'Carried To Dust'.
