Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Music Power Trail (MPT for short)

Along Dave Brubeck road, you will find some of my favorite bands. Here there are classical, pop rock, heavy metal, jazz, alternative, and blues musicians.

Some of these bands I grew up listening to as a kid, others I developed a love for them in my adulthood.

Congrats to team HAT for FTF

 

None of the caches are at the posted coordinates.

Enjoy

Calexico

Calexico is a Tucson, Arizona-based Americana, Tex-Mex, indie rock band. The band's two main members, Joey Burns and John Convertino, first played together in Los Angeles as part of the group Giant Sand. They have recorded a number of albums on Quarterstick Records, while their 2005 EP ‘In the Reins’, recorded with Iron & Wine, reached the Billboard 200 album charts. Their musical style is influenced by traditional Latin sounds of mariachi, conjunto, cumbia, and tejano mixed with country, jazz, and post-rock.

The band is named for the border town of Calexico, California, and has been described by some as "desert noir".

To find the final, you’ll have to solve the puzzle.

Final at:

A: Calexico’s second album, ‘The Black Light’, was released in 199(A).

B: “Sanchez” is the (B) track on their debut album ‘Spoke.’

C: ‘Hot Rail’ is the (C) studio album from Calexico

W 120 58.FEI

For the second set of coordinates, you’ll need to use a different tactic in finding the last three numbers.
