The second album, 2012’s ‘Panic’, featuring the massive tunes ‘Clash’ and ‘Rock It For Me’ remains a treat to listen to, whether in a burlesque bar or at home. This album went on to define a new sound called Electro Swing, while charting in their native France where it quickly attained a platinum sales award. Having originally formed in 2005 the band’s eponymous debut album in 2008 set the tone – a rip-roaring party, bursting with fun and good humor.

The band’s appeal has grown off-radar, appreciated for both their musical virtuosity and their sheer ability to deliver a ballistic good time. The result is a decadent, potent cocktail of jazz manouche, hip-hop, jive, house and beats that defies simple categorization. The musical sound bed for the vocally explosive, burlesque- blazoning Zoe Colotis is created by the band’s three founder members Hughes Paven (violin), Charles Delaporte (upright bass) and Arnaud Vial (guitar), plus Camille Chapelière (clarinet) & Antoine Toustou (trombone and electronics) over the beats provided by Paul-Marie Barbier (vibraphone, washboard, piano). Created in their Parisian studios, where the electro-pioneers fuse hedonistic house and old school jazz to glorious effect, evokes the spirit of a modernistic Quintette du Hot Club de France.

They combine components of the oldest and the newest recorded music to make a kaleidoscope of the century’s best dance beats, and the Gatsby flapper that lives in all of us wouldn’t miss their concert for the world.

Don your trilby hats and rayon slip dresses on October 14 to party with this touring band that performs like a more like traveling circus. They flirt with surrealism and absurdity in a manner so inescapably (and alluringly) French, making their worldwide fans wistful for a time they’ve never lived through, à la Midnight in Paris. Witness these visuals at your own discretion, though - I’d describe them as the after-dark versions of Zootopia and The Road to El Dorado, respectively.Ĭaravan Palace’s creative output is haughty, uproarious and nostalgic. Odds are you’ve seen the latter - it has over 220 million YouTube views. Seeing Caravan Palace in concert is undoubtedly best way to experience their multidisciplinary artistry, but if you like to pair optics with audio, consider checking out their provocative animated music videos for “Miracle” and “Lone Digger”.
