El nombre Calexico, tomado de la población fronteriza norteamericana Calexico, California, define perfectamente a esta banda, ya que es la mezcla entre California y México.
Son un grupo norteamericano originario de Tucson, Arizona, amantes de los sonidos del mundo. Sus dos líderes, Joey Burns (voz y guitarra) y John Convertino (batería) comenzaron a tocar juntos en la banda angelina Giant Sand antes de fundar Calexico.
