Caravan Palace biography

Hailing from Paris, France, Caravan Palace, are widely adored for both their musical prowess and the exhilarating experience they deliver, In about 15 years, the band has grown from a parisian jive sensation to a globalized pop act melding all kinds of influences and capable of tearing the roof off any venue or festival tent!.

The band initially started as a trio, fusing contemporary electronic beats with musical influences from vintage jazz sounds. Their ability to craft lush compositions with a variety of instruments and recording techniques quickly made a stir and, with the help of emerging social networks, they soon completed their lineup while seeing their demos get traction in the plugged-in community. After extensive touring in 2007, including performances at the Django Reinhardt Jazz Festival, their presence in the Paris music scene grew, leading to a recording contract with Café de la Danse.

Their self-titled debut studio album received critical acclaim for its authentic jazz elements and unique electronic flair. The album soon went platinum in France where the band's live performances gained momentum, with concert tickets selling rapidly even with minimal promotion. The subsequent album, “Panic,” was released in 2012 and swiftly became a fan favorite. It contributed significantly to the band's success on a more global scale, enabling them to participate in festivals like Coachella, Dour, or Paleo, as well as sell out club shows in most major European and North American cities.

Their third studio album, cryptically titled <I°_°I>, marked a shift for the band from a live sensation to a stats mastodon with the tracks “Lone Digger”, “Wonderland”, “Comics” and “Aftermath”, amassing billions of streams online.

Throughout their career Caravan Palace have consistently defied convention to become pop mainstays while keeping their cool, innovating their sound and refusing to follow the rules. The next logical step was for them to launch their own label Lone Diggers to release their fourth album Chronologic in 2019 featuring the hit singles Miracle and Moonshine.

With their new album Gangbusters Melody Club released in March 2024, the parisians will hit the road again this year!

Live reviews

Burning Spear live is about as excellent as live Reggae gets. It is a fun jam session with tons of great people playing great music.
Regardless of age they rock out on their instruments and scream and sing better even than some young bands can manage to do. The music relaxes the audience while still making them cheer at the top of their lungs for the artists. The crowd is flowing back and forth at the smooth tunes while having fun and enjoying the live music with little to no worries. They are happy.The instrumental performances of Burning Spear are elevated even above the vocal Reggae that one expects. They seem to mix not only Jamaican music but Spanish influences as well. It is hard to not like Burning Spear, as they are likable and put on a jazzy, fun, mellow show.
Listening to them perform live is almost better than anything else for learning to relax and just enjoy the music of the world. It is a fantastic live performance and the crowd shows their love throughout the show. Seeing Burning Spear live was an excellent decision that I hope any lover of Reggae will also make whenever they can.

Caravan Palace put on a truly spectacular show and got the whole place swinging. Their live performance featured a lot more live instruments than I had expected - the stage was littered with synths, guitars, trombones and violins galore - and this made it all the more enjoyable. The band were full of energy and brought their electro swing tunes to life during their one and a half hour set. The fusion of modern drum beats and more traditional instrumental performances that make up Caravan Palace’s distinctive sound made for an evening of retro fun that went down a treat with the entire audience. Everyone was dancing enthusiastically, both on stage and off, and the scat improvisations were a great addition to the show! With seven people on stage, there was a lot to watch, and there was never a moment where the energy levels dropped inside the venue. The atmosphere was electric and you couldn’t glance about without seeing some swing dancing going on around you. Even if you don’t think you can dance, you won’t be able to stop yourself from trying at any Caravan Palace gig.
