Calexico Talks Tacos (And Their New Record)

Soundcheck | Oct 26, 2012

Calexico may have recorded its latest album in New Orleans -- but the Southwestern rock band's taste for Tex-Mex hasn't subsided. Songwriter and guitarist Joey Burns tells us about trying out tacos from a New York City food truck that shares the band's name -- and taking a favorite hot sauce with them on tour. Plus, they play live.

Set List:

  • "Splitter"
  • "Fortune Teller"
  • "Para"
