Calexico is an American band from Tucson, Arizona that has been making music since 1996. The band was formed by Joey Burns and John Convertino, who had previously played together in the band Giant Sand. Calexico has toured and performed at various festivals, including the Montreux and North Sea Jazz Festivals. They have also collaborated with artists such as Neko Case, Victoria Williams, and Richard Buckner. The band's sound has evolved over time, with a revolving cast of musicians and instruments contributing to their varied releases.

The name "Calexico" comes from the city of Calexico, California, which is located on the border between California and Mexico.

Experience the unique blend of musical styles and influences that Calexico brings to their music. From their early collaborations with Giant Sand to their diverse discography, this American band continues to captivate audiences with their evolving sound.

there's always been intrigue and adventure at the heart of calexico. ever since they were a largely instrumental duo experimenting with their unique collection of instruments and soundtrack sensibilities, joey burns and john convertino have constantly imbued their music with a sense of drama, calling upon the myths and iconography of the american west and mexico, equal parts sergio leone, larry mcmurtry, carlos fuentes and cormac mccarthy. now, with 'carried to dust', they have truly defined this distinctive musical territory, calling upon almost two decades of exploration and an ensemble of stellar musicians that must surely be the envy of bands throughout the world. 'carried to dust; represents the pinnacle of their achievement, a thrilling and moving journey through a landscape that draws upon the modern world as much as it does the decayed reminders of times past. it presents a vivid picture of a world in which listeners can immerse themselves much as one is caught up in the tangled narrative of a steinbeck novel or the imagery of a john ford film, and confirms calexico as one of the great american bands of the 21st century.
