LAURA CASSIDY Martha Wainwright plays Chop Suey at 8 p.m. Mon., July 5. $8. CALIFONE CALEXICO electronica Heron King Blues Convict Pool EP (Thrill Jockey) (Quarterstick/Touch & Go) Califone and electronica Calexico have little in common—except that each is an eclectically inclined, oft-augmented duo with roots in '90s alt-rock that records for a Chicago indie label, and either would make a dandy opener for Wilco. Califone hail from Chicago; Calexico live in Tucson. Califone's electronica name comes from a manufacturer of record players that last forever but sound like shit—not unlike Crosby, Stills, and Nash. Calexico derive their nombre de guerra from a hamlet on the California side of the Mexican border, just north of Mexicali. Calexico founders Joey Burns and John Convertino—both ex-members of Giant Sand and Los Angeles transplants—have never actually inhabited their namesake, but the sobriquet reflects their ongoing (four albums, plus a slew of singles and EPs) exploration of amicable culture clash far more eloquently than "Tucson" ever could.
