Calexico will be hitting the road this June in support of their fifth proper full-length, Garden Ruin. The record, which was released April 11th, has made a significant impact at retail, radio and press, debuting at #156 on Billboard's top 200 sales chart, #3 on the New Artist Chart and #2 on the Alternative New Artist chart, #42 on the Alternative Album chart and #14 on the Independent Sales chart. The band was the #1 record on the CMJ Top 200, #2 FMQB Triple A Public Breakout, #5 Top Specialty Singles for Cruel and #5 Top Specialty Albums. The video for the first single "Cruel" has been added to Much Music's "The Wedge" and MTV2's "Subterranean".
The band is currently on tour in Europe with Iron & Wine in support of their acclaimed collaboration In The Reins. Calexico's North American tour kicks off on June 12th in Solana Beach, CA and the month-long trek takes them along both coasts and to select Midwest cities and Canada. In addition, they will perform at Central Park Summerstage in New York City on August 3rd with the New Pornographers and Lollapalooza in Chicago on August 5th.
