Calexico at the Basement 25 & 26 February 07

[Chantel]

We are very pleased to announce the long awaited return to Australia of CALEXICO which will see them bring their excellent live show to The Basement. Fans of Calexico have learnt to expect the unexpected from Tucson, Arizona residents Joey Burns and John Convertino who started the band in 1996. Each of the markedly different albums they have released in their 10 year career have achieved cult status and earned them the utmost respect and recognition from both their peers and their fans. From their dusty, lo-fi debut Spoke (1996) to the noir-infused dramatic power of The Black Light (1998), the breakthrough, mariachi madness of Hot Rail (2000), to their hugely successful Feast of Wire (2003) to their brightest and most recent release Garden Ruin (2006) they have forged a precious and unpredictable musical path. The Calexico line up is now very different to their beginnings and John and Joey bring to Australia the incredible band they have gathered around them to deliver the full Calexico experience. Fellow Tucson inhabitant Jacob Valenzuela (keys,trumpet,vibes), Germans Martin Wenk (accordion,guitar,synth,trumpet,vibes) and Volker Zander (upright & electric bass) and Lambchop pedal steel player Paul Niehaus (pedal steel & guitar). Catch the fantastic sounds of Calexico in full swing at The Basement on February 25th and 26th.
