Calexico
Calexico is a Tucson, Arizona-based Americana / Tex-Mex / indie rock
band. The band's two main members, Joey Burns and John Convertino, first
played together in Los Angeles as part of the group Giant Sand. They
have recorded a number of albums on Quarterstick Records, while their
2005 EP In the Reins recorded with Iron & Wine has reached the
Billboard 200 album charts. Their musical style is influenced by
traditional Latin sounds of mariachi / conjunto / cumbia / Tejano music
and also the Southwestern United States country music as well as
'50s-'60s jazz and '90s-'00s post-rock, and they have been described by
some as "desert noir" or indie rock. The band is named for the border
town of Calexico, California
