Calexico in Concert
Calexico is currently touring with Iron & Wine. Calexico and Iron & Wine first made an artistic connection with In the Reins, the 2005 EP that brought Sam Beam, Joey Burns and John Convertino together. The acclaimed collaboration introduced both acts to wider audiences and broadened Beam's artistic horizons, but it was the shared experience of touring together in the tradition of Bob Dylan's "Rolling Thunder Revue" that cemented their bond. Their metaphorical roads diverged in the years that followed, but they kept in touch and cross-pollinated where they could. But although they often talked about rekindling their collaboration in the studio and on the stage, it wasn't until last year that their schedules aligned. Calexico and Iron & Wine have announced Years to Burn, their first full–length album together, available June 14th via City Slang in the UK/Europe and Sub Pop in the rest of the world.

THAT was an amazing show. Insanely talented musicians, in every way shape and form. The set list was excellent. Webster Hall hosted perfectly, the ambiance, sound and performance was top notch and we are so impressed we are still talking about it today. Go see Calexico. Now.
One of my favorite bands of all time, Calexico never disappoints. They continue to make remarkable albums well over a decade into their musical careers, never repeating themselves while never losing that distinctive Calexico sound. The live shows are a blast because I love seeing how these guys put it all together, particularly all of the auxiliary instruments like the vibraphone and according, etc. These guys are real musicians. They care about the details, but are unassuming and mainly there to have a good time. The Royale is a great venue. I was amazed to being seeing an indie-show in a swank place. It was a good sized crowd but still very easy to move around. There are bars in every corner of the room (drinks are very expensive though). Everything sounded great, not obnoxiously loud like you find in most venues. The Royale is primarily a dance club, but having these kinds of shows at this kind of venue is a great idea. I hope to see more shows here.
Essentially the same band with a couple of changes since i last saw them in Sommerville a couple or three years ago. The new album, Algiers, was front and center; and as it may be their best studio piece to date, the show was top notch. With a lead guitar who can wail like Santana and play lap guitar to fill in those pieces which delight in the slide; and new keyboard guy who is available to play in all the songs is an asset. These two replace one fellow who used to try and take both roles. With their unique lineup of instruments, masterful abilities, and playful professionalism, Calexico is at the top of its game again. Wonderful show.
Calexico is simply awesome!! No one should miss out on them!!
i think i might be naive because we expected that when the show ticket says 8pm then the warm up band would be on at 8pm but the doors opened at 8 and then warm up band started at 9 and Calexico came on at 10 so although they were amazing- it was a Wed night and our group had to work the next day- we were exhausted by 11 and were thinking of our beds. Calexico was amazing- the crowd was small but appreciative, however I don't know how people were able to keep from dancing. Calexico played with great energy without a break until 1115.They zoomed through their set with little to no breaks between songs.
