Across three studio records-most recently, 2015’s, or “ Robot Face” they have successfully concocted a crisp mix of jazz, scat, new wave, swing, electro, house, and a few other genres (on a song-by-song basis). Between the fast-paced, sometimes-staccato vocals of Zoé Colotis, the sweeping brass, or the unrelenting beats, this 7-piece French electro swing collective wears their influences on their sleeve and brings everything they have to the table.

Https :// soundcloud.Story by Logan Corsaut, Live Music Reporter A few myspace posts later and they have doubled in size, enrolling Chapi, the boisterous Colotis, and Toustou, from now a member of the band in full-time. And it’s far better than those retro futuristic sounds… because it swings. That’s where this peculiar mixture of classical Django and new trendy electro comes from. Charles, Arnaud and Hughes, the initial trio, dig swing, especially gypsy jazz, and try their hands at the genre’s traditional instruments: guitar, double bass and violin. Their strength lies in their common passion for electronic music. The surprise breakout band of the last decade, the apostles of Electro Swing and precursors of a laidback yet terribly upbeat trend, is coming up with an evocative second album: Panic! This time, Caravan Palace takes us even farther than their first album (that sold more than 150 000 copies) and continues an amazing adventure almost started by accident. Same Palace, with a brand new customized flavor.
Here we go, let’s take the Caravan for another tour. Tickets on sale Friday, April 14th at noon!
