porcy62 Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GloriousBlues Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

md655321 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I havent heard them on their own, but I think their EP with Iron and Wine is absolutely fabulous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that show, but don't remember the introductions. Sorry, I can't help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 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. KGB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
