Calexico live in Auckland

Anybody else catch 'em?

Magnificent concert, totally enjoyable, bought the CD.

I first heard about them on this forum, though from whom I don't recall - fulsome thanks anyway, whoever you are. Who else should I be listening to?

You'll laugh at this.

I went into Real Groovy on Sat morning and was at the counter waiting for the guy to put CD's into cases when I happened upon a gig guide, with Calexico on the front.

"Oh." I said. "Is Calexico coming to Wellington?" "Mate, they played last night at Indigo, fabulous!" "Right.....thanks Frown"

I could laugh in commiseration I guess - serious bummer anyway. If Indigo was anything like the KA you missed a cracker.

BTW I trust you're referring to the Wellington branch of the Groovemeister? I mean, it's not that you actually WERE in Auckland and simply failed to ask the obvious question is it now? (which is what I thought you meant at first) There's bummers and .... er ... bummers eh?

Oh well, next time then.
