I know there’s been a pause but I wonder if they will make music and tour again?

The good folks who are digitizing the 10,000+ Aadam Jacobs Collection live shows with wildly good soundboard feeds have added another great Calexico show, this time from the 2006 Hideout Block Party. This was the 10th anniversary of this music festival, and I think all the bands that played were Touch & Go artists. So the same day Calexico played, so did Pinback, Three Mile Pilot, and Quasi.

I updated my fansite Second City Streamer to include being able to sort shows from newest added to archive.org so it will be easier to find the shows you haven't heard yet. I welcome your feedback on the site, and I'm actively working to build native iOS and Android apps and hopefully they'll be out in the next week or two.

The sound quality on >95% of these shows in the collection is off the charts good, and I think it's just such a special collection of music because of that, but also the sheer amount of indie rock that's right up my alley, too.

The 2006 festival is even more unreal than I thought, having found this old Gapers Block website that talks about the lineup. Not all these sets are uploaded yet, but I would be shocked if Mr. Jacobs didn't tape them all. Still to come: Ted Leo & The Pharmacists, Man…Or Astroman?, Black Heart Procession, and more.
