‘The intimacy and evocative atmosphere of previous releases has been retained,
but there’s a fresh, barnstorming spirit brought by the team surrounding the core duo of Joey Burns and John Convertino’ – INDEPENDENT UK *****
‘By turns gentle and bold, traditional and boundary-pushing, The Thread That Keeps Us is another fine example of Calexico’s ever-broadening horizons’ – ALLMUSIC GUIDE ****

After four long years, Melbourne gets the opportunity to host the return of the panoramic musical and lyrical genius of Calexico with two shows at Melbourne Recital Centre on Thursday 24 and Friday 25 January. Both shows are selling fast – purchase remaining tickets via melbournerecital.com.au/
The band brings with it the unbridled spirit of its latest critically acclaimed (and ninth) studio album The Thread That Keeps Us and a sweet ride through border sound treasures from across its career.
Across nine studio albums, numerous collaborations, movie scores, soundtracks and thousands of shows, Joey Burns, John Convertino and their magnificent band, Calexico have roamed the world with their unique and stirring ‘desert noir’ sound. Calexico makes panoramic frontier music that effortlessly crosses borders, cultures and genres and has seamlessly infused the instrumentation, sounds and structures of cumbia, fado, jazz, gypsy, surf, country and spaghetti western epics from the shadows of indie rock into a body of work that is unique and completely intoxicating – especially live in concert.
Catch them at Melbourne Recital Centre this summer and you’ll be certain ‘there is love in the age of the extremes’!

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
