Calexico is an American indie rock band based in Tucson, Arizona. Founded in 1996, 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, and their 2005 EP, In the Reins, recorded with Iron & Wine, reached the Billboard 200 album charts. Their musical style is influenced by traditional Latin sounds of mariachi, conjunto, cumbia, and Tejano mixed with country, jazz, and post-rock.
