I am most assuredly a Calexico fan as well. Two nice songs and it is good to see them perform.

Agreed. Paul Niehaus does a fine job with Calexico. Thanks for sharing those videos!

Well, I'm a fan now! Nice stuff. Interesting how well they play in tune with so many unfretted instruments.

Gotta chime in on Calexico. I'd heard of them for a few years, then finally started buying their discs. Now I have have nearly all of them, plus a couple DVDs, and I wish I'd done it long ago! Paul adds such a nice touch, and when Calexico adds the mariachi band, you can NOT keep yer feet still or yer mug from smilin'! I especially like some of the tasty experimental elements they use, as when Paul fades a song out with some effects thrown in. Nice, very nice!

I've been a HUGE Calexico fan for a few years now. I think I have just about every cd they've put out, including the wacky eps that come out every so often. They have one the best blends of styles I've ever heard. May they have a long and prosperous career.
