CALEXICO TO PERFORM 20th ANNIVERSARY TOUR OF FEAST OF WIRE

In early 2003, Calexico released their seminal album ‘Feast of Wire’, the album that truly marked the duo’s critical and commercial breakthrough.

The band has toured the US and Europe through 2023, and are pleased to announce an Australia and NZ tour.

Over two unforgettable nights in February 2024 at Meeniyan Town Hall, Calexico will play the landmark ‘Feast of Wire’ in full as well as a slew of beloved songs from the band’s full repertoire.

Praised by NPR for their “sprawling, cross-cultural indie rock,” Calexico has spent the better part of the past three decades exploring the dusty musical borderlands of the American Southwest, crafting singular, cinematic songs as mysterious and magnificent as the arid desert landscapes that inspired them. Founded in Tucson, AZ, by guitarist/singer Joey Burns and drummer John Convertino, the band first emerged to widespread acclaim in the mid-1990s with a string of arresting, evocative records that blurred the lines between their roots, rock, and Latin influences, but it was 2003’s ‘Feast of Wire’ that truly marked the duo’s commercial and critical breakthrough, earning them their first appearances on the Billboard charts and rave reviews everywhere from The Guardian to Pitchfork, who called the record “genuinely masterful.”

“Seductive, stirring songs about crushed hope and the corruption of beauty and some of their most ambitious arrangements make this their most fully-realised and accomplished album.” – ★★★★★, MOJO
