Just as the band used the internet to complete their line up, they similarly used it to promote their first demos (many which were large successes in this plugged in community). The founding members consisted of Hugues Payen (violin), Arnaud Vial (guitar), and Charles Delaporte (double bass), but shortly expanded into a lineup that included Camille Chapeliere (clarinet), Aurelien (guitar, DJ), Sonia Fernandez Velasco (vocalist), and Antoine Toustou (trombone, drum machine).
This dilemma prompted the band to go on a hunt for additional musicians, which they found through the help of social media sites like myspace. While their music was perfectly suitable for an album release it did nor fair well as a live act.
Initially the group did not have a problem functioning as a 3 piece as they were able to produce lush compositions through their expansive knowledge of various instruments and recording techniques. Caravan Palace originated as a trio, but have since more than doubled in size. Quickly, they tried their luck in America, meeting real success on the other side of the Atlantic (where they sell the most albums) and participating in festivals like Coachella and many more.The group mixes in modern electronic pop beats heard by acts like Daft Punk and Justice, but also integrate musical cues from 1920s style jazz artists such as Django Reinhardt. They will also take the opportunity to present their single “Supersonics” (2020).Ĭomposed of Arnaud Vial, Hugues Payen, Charles Delaporte, Antoine Toustou, and singer Zoé Colotis, the group became famous on MySpace, before releasing their first album in 2008. We feel the need to explore something else with more pop music, while keeping our coherence with a mix of vintage and modern sounds,” explained Charles Delaporte to French Morning at the album’s release. “We’re trying to get out of electro-swing a bit, which can be very repetitive. This series of concerts will be an opportunity to present their fourth opus “Chronologic,” tinged with soul, hip-hop, and R&B, and released in 2019. They will play in Washington, New York, Oakland, Los Angeles, Austin, Houston and Dallas between January 25 and February 19. Caravan Palace is coming back to the United States for a tour in early 2022. For more than ten years, their electro-swing music has been making the world dance.
