Any Calexico fan?

[porcy62]

I love this band, most of the tracks are like movies, you are in another place, another time. I am asking myself if I am the only fanatic here.

I'm not a "fanatic", but I like 'em.

Saw 'em live a couple of years back in Minneapolis and they were absolutely great. Unfortunately I was stuck watching the Shins right afterwards, and they were a drag.

Not a fanatic per se but I do like them.

I like those guys a lot. Feast of Wire is a fantastic recording, and once I put it on it's tough to stop playing it. I've only seen them live once. They opened for Ozomatli and Los Lonely Boys on a tour last year, and Calexico wasn't as impressive as the other 2 bands. That may be just because their music is so subdued compared with Ozo.

I like them a lot, and have seen them live 3 times.

The first time, with them as headliners at the Knitting Factory, was amazing.

The second time, at the Wiltern, they played with the one-man nband named Iron & Wine. The Calexico set was abbreviated.

The third time at a "showcase" at the Barnsdall Park Theatre in Los Angeles just a couple of weeks ago. Had to wait in line 3 hours to get in to the sold out show, which stared at 9:30 and was done by 10:30 - another abbbreviated set, as showcases I believe often are.

I need to see a full set from them again.

Adam,

Do you know if Tim Rutili was also playing that LA show? Just curious.

I havent heard them on their own, but I think their EP with Iron and Wine is absolutely fabulous.

Hi,

Nope, I don't know, sorry.

Which LA show, by the way? All 3 were LA.

[.:.impossible]

oh... the wiltern show. I read that he was on a mini-tour west coast with Calexico and Iron&Wine.

I saw that show, but don't remember the introductions. Sorry, I can't help.

Love them. But I prefer the sound from "The Black Light"...1998. All the "newer" sounds in a lot of genres seemed to have peaked in the late 90's.
