Caravan Palace on Tour
Dubbed "electro-swing," Caravan Palace's irrepressible musical mélange is nothing if not infectious. Swing music has always been dance music, but when you mix it with modern bass, electronic beats and studio trickery, it becomes party music on steroids. Caravan Palace's version is exuberant stuff, filled with horns and the vintage ‘20s vocal stylings of French singer Zoé Colotis. Colotis is filled with pixie-ish energy, and in a live show, when she promises you're about to have fun, you'd better believe her. Her feet are liable to break out into a choreographed Charleston at any moment, and her clear, bell-like voice plays master of ceremonies to a swirling, manic sound. The group's world tours are known to sell out, thanks both to the live spectacle they put on and a devoted fan base that likes to dress up (think zoot suits and bowlers).
Caravan Palace in Concert
The Parisian septet claims both Django Reinhardt and Daft Punk as inspirations, but those influences don't fully capture the group's palpable joie de vivre. For all the electronic flourishes, Caravan Palace are not just knob-twiddlers: The core players started out as jazz musicians, and multi-instrumentalists at that. They reportedly first came together to fashion a soundtrack for an adult silent film. After a handful of Internet singles, their self-titled debut came out in 2008, and the single "Jolie Coquine" hit the European charts. Their second LP, Panic, followed in 2012, but it was the group's third album, 2015's Robot Face, that took them into the stratosphere with the insanely infectious single "Lone Digger." (Within months, it had racked up tens of millions of YouTube views.) The band parlayed that success into a move to their own label, and 2019's "Chronologic" trafficked in the same vintage vibe while pulling in new collaborators, including vocalist Charles X. But experimental directions, while enjoyable, cannot dilute the sheer vibrant power of this group, which has such a good time on stage that the audience can't help but have an amazing time, too.
If these guys aren't booked for the major festival circuit (coachella, edc ect.), it will be a crime against humanity. These guys have the perfect blend of live instrumentation and backing tracks, creating the illusion of parisian gypsy electro house, and it is extremely fun music.
Caravan Palace is an amazing group on record and live in person. It was an amazing show full of energy. The group is full of amazing musicians and they are so talented. The fonda theater is a great theater and was a great place to see this group. Go catch them next time they are around!
Before they even came out there energy was in the air. There was suppose to be two opening acts but there was only one. So as soon as the first act was done they came out. Thier energy and how the connect with the fans is so amazing. From the start of their first song to the end everyone was dancing and singing and blown away.
This is a fun, high energy, unique band made up of a crew of enormously talented musicians and singers. Every one of the musicians plays a minimum of two instruments (more in some cases) and plays them well. On top of that, every single person in the band (especially the singer) has an abundance of stage presence that makes this such a fun band to watch and dance to. Next time they're back in town, I'm there!
Caravan was a delicious spectacle for the eyes, ears and soul ;) the singer is a sexy french cutie who just entrances the whole crowd. the rest of the band were awesome musicians. they looked like they were just enjoying themselves on stage. apart from the band, the crowd was not your typical nightclub crowd. there was a wide range of interesting people attending. made a couple new friends! RECOMMENDED
One of the most unique, high energy, and flat out fun shows I've seen in ages. Everyone on stage was clearly having a blast. Would go again in a heartbeat.
Caravan Palace combines electronica sounds with the upbeat melodies of swing, creating a super fun, high energy concert. The band has tons of energy and was very talented musically. They even had a special guest of Quest Crew! That was a great surprise. Opener was solid too. Overall super fun dance concert
Doors opened at 8 pm. Opening act started at 9 was not even impressive. Then another 40 minutes elapsed before Caravan Palace was finally all set up. Not sure if the group was late or if the venue was at fault for the long delays. Thankfully there was a good DJ playing music during the breaks. I nearly left because I was so tired of waiting, but waiting was definitely worth it. Caravan Palace is PHENOMENAL live - even better than I had anticipated.
By far the greatest concert I have ever been to. It was a little annoying having to wait a couple hours before Caravan Palace went on. But the DJ was ok and Red Light District wasn't bad either. but neither compared to the excitement and energy that Caravan brought to the stage. Though It was quite warm, I didn't mind jumping to the beat of all the fantastic songs. The band plays their many instruments with so much life and enthusiasm, that's reason enough to see them, but it doesn't stop there. Zoe's adorable personality and amazing dance moves keep the show at an extremely high pace and doesn't dream of stopping and it is amazing. The other members of the band each play their own role perfectly and keep motivating the crowd to remain excited. The surprise visit from Quest Crew was a great idea as well. My only complaints are the somewhat short performance length (about 1 hour and 45) and the lack of a couple great CP songs (Dragons and Dramophone). But regardless I recommend anyone who wants a great time whether you're 18 or 80 should see this unique group!
I don't think I've been to a show where EVERYONE was jumping and having a blast! Caravan Palace combined authentic joy, with amazing talent in this performance. I'll be back for more!!
A fabulous concert, energetic crowd, the opening act wasn't great, but it was in the right genre and served as a good lead in. Caravan Palace are amazing performers and they produce the most highly polished Electro-Swing sound possible, beautifully mending together the sounds of the past with those of the modern electronic age. There were a wide variety of ages represented at this concert, children to middle-aged and they all loved every minute of it. I can't recommend Caravan Palace highly-enough, this concert was incredible.
This was the most entertaining concert i have ever antedated.
The show started at roughly 9:00 p.m., and I was immediately dazzled by Red Light District. The female singer had great sex appeal, and really got me into their music. The songs were well written, delightfully performed, and she kept the crowd interested through the whole set. (She even had me meowing the chorus to one of their songs, and it was divine.) The Caravan Palace happened. WOW. Is all I can say. Words cannot even describe how into the performance everyone was, it was a spectacle to be seen. In the midst of all of this, RLD came into the audience and we got to meet them, and that was a key to the evening being a success. I can't wait to see both of them again, please come to Las Vegas!
From the opening of the curtains, to the closing of curtains. It was fabulous and electrifying. To all my senses. More than I expected and wanted more!
This was the most fun I have ever had at a concert. You not be disappointed going to see their live show.
Great band marred by inconsistent sound quality. The quality of the music and the energy of the show were impressive. I had problems hearing the little things because the sound was just too heavy and loud on the bass side. The lead singers voice was drowned out a lot of the time which was too bad since she is quite excellent. I would love to hear them again but would perhaps prefer a different venue. One of the great things about the band is their clarity and that did not come through. This is not a run of the mill band with one board setting fits all. Still it was great to see such a talented group.
what a fantastic show! Can't wait until they come back to Chicago...definitely in one of the top 10 live shows that I've seen (and I've see a LOT). Totally fun band!
Was great to have the band finally visit NY. I have only seen them in Canada before. I wish they would play more dates here and in an outdoor venue if possible. I think more NEw Yorkers should be treated to the experience
It was a fantastic show. The band had a great presence and engaged the crowd. The set list was really good and very danceable.
What a great show and TLA was the perfect small venue; especially considering that this band packs large concert halls and auditoriums in Europe. The crowd was amazingly enthusiastic and the band rewarded that with a premium performance.
