While Caravan Palace puts on a spectacle that features a scat to perfection and swing dance choreography, it’s hard to feel satisfied no matter how long the performance. I’m excited just to get crazy and start dancing around,” said Laura, adding that she and her husband were visiting from St. “This is a type of music unlike any other that I’ve ever heard. The band performed for around 90 minutes, and impressed those I had a chance to speak to in the crowd. And for that reason, this is a band whose performance is hard to get over. The French electro-swing group transmitted high energy from the moment it hit the stage with “Comics,” to the very last moment of “Brotherswing,” the final song of the 2017 Robot Face set. And Caravan Palace, a combination of Violinist Hugues Payen, Colotis, Upright Bass Player Charles Delaporte, Guitarist Arnaud Vial, Trombonist and Machinist Antoine Toustou, Percussionist Paul-Marie Barbier and Clarinetist Camille Chapelière, pulls through again. The band promises an evening of joy and excitement, of neglect towards the harsh realities of the day. But no lack of quality was apparent Saturday night. Following its opening song, “Comics,” Vocalist Zoé Colotis expressed doubt in the quality of sound due to the band’s late arrival. There were times that I felt nervous my toes would be trampled, but I was too full of bliss, that I was watching and hearing one of my favorite live bands again, to dwell.ĭespite a broken down bus, and a late arrival that rendered the band entirely unable to carry out a sound check, Caravan Palace exceeded its audience’s expectations.
