The band became popular on the internet after releasing a number of demos and promo singles. More performers were required for the live concerts and the other three current band members were found after searching on MySpace. Loïc Barrouk took an interest in the project and booked the band a recording studio and a series of gigs. The record charted in Switzerland, Belgium, and France, where it reached a peak position of number 11.Ĭaravan Palace formed as a three-piece when they were recruited to compose the soundtrack for a silent adult film. The band’s influences include Django Reinhardt, Vitalic, Lionel Hampton, and Daft Punk. The band released their debut studio album, Caravan Palace, on the Wagram label in October 2008. If you haven’t already, don’t wait anymore to listen to their music and discover them on Culturethèque.Caravan Palace is a French electronic music band based in Paris. Today, after the release of their third album, Caravan Palace frees itself, goes faster and pushes the limits of its inspiration to keep up with their sole and unique purpose : to make the planet dances, without frontier. And cosmopolitan too ! Theirs shows run as well in the fancy viennese club Jazz as they do in front of the wild and gigantic crowds of american techno festivals.įinally, this band feels out of control because of its style : the famous “electro-swing”, a kind of synthetic jazz which keeps you dancing the floor.
They realised more than a hundred performances in less than a year when their second album, Panic (2012), was released. They keep up producing themselves on stage at an incredible pace. For example, 46% of theirs youtube viewers are American and only… 6% French.Ĭrazy because of their extraordinary amount of work. They come from France but their first eponym album Caravan Palace was, thanks to the internet, mostly listened to beyond frontiers, in particular in the USA where the band has nowadays more supports than anywhere else. Surprising first because of the success the band meets. Surprising, crazy and out of control ! This is how is often described Caravan Palace.
