Billions Australia is particularly chuffed to announce the return of Calexico to Australia and New Zealand in 2010.

Unquestionably one of the most unique and brilliant bands in the world today - respected and adored in equal parts like the musical equivalent of some rare and legendary fine wine.

And why? It’s the way they have mastered the balance of so many elements; vintage and modern, sadness and joy, restraint and impulse, skill and feel, thought and expression….in short – they are really good and we really like them.

There's always been intrigue and adventure at the heart of Calexico. Joey Burns and John Convertino have constantly imbued their music with an unparalleled sense of drama, calling upon the myths and iconography of the American West and its Spanish speaking neighbor Mexico. Carried to Dust represents the pinnacle of their achievement, a thrilling and moving journey through a landscape that draws upon the modern world as much as it does the decayed reminders of times past, stumbling upon unexpected delights whilst always moving forward with a pioneering sense of purpose.

The Carried To Dust tour arrives in Australia in march with performances at Womadelaide, Golden Plains, Perth Festival and headline shows in Brisbane, Byron Bay, Sydney and Melbourne.
