The sax did step up with additional leads but didn't reach the level of the old clarinet. I realize the members are shifting a bit but I really loved the clarinet and violin leads from the earlier albums which were not there this time around. I was surprised to see the array of instruments was different this year, with no violin or clarinet. Whoever was in charge of lighting really should be fired. There are amazing musicians playing in the dark - even during solos! we couldnt even see them playing at all during a 45 minute stretch. The lack of spot lighting on the musicians was extremely frustrating. The strobing white lights were annoying and even irritating at some points early in the show but later mellowed out. Much of the 90 minute show was played largely in the dark, with excessive backlighting and virtually no overhead or spot lighting. Was not impressed with the show stage lighting. Their opener was a mix artist who was decent. Of course the music was fantastic, the energy was high and the audience was loving it. I went to see them last night in Los Angeles at the Wiltern. A true word-of-mouth sensation, they’re capable of tearing the roof off any venue or festival tent. Created in their Parisian studios, where the electro-pioneers fuse hedonistic house and old school jazz to glorious effect, the album evokes the spirit of a modernistic Quintette du Hot Club de France. It remains a treat to listen to, whether in a burlesque bar or at home.Ĭaravan Palace announce the release of their third studio album, on October 16th 2015. The USA edition featured 4 remix tracks, 3 variations of “Clash” and one of “Dramophone”. Their proper 2nd studio album was issued on 5 March 2012 and peaked at No. The group followed this album up 3 years later with the release of their EP “Clash”, which came out in early 2011. Since its release the band’s live profile has risen unrelentingly, their concert tickets flying out with minimum promotion and zero-hype. It graced the top album charts in many European countries, but undoubtedly did the best in it’s native land France, in which it rose to No.11. Commercially the album was off the charts (well not literally speaking). The album was critically praised for its true to nature jazz tendencies as well as it’s unique and hip electonic spin. Their self-titled studio debut was spearheaded by the wildly popular single “Jolie Coquine”. Their presence in the Paris music scene was bolstered after this tour and landed them a recording contract with Wagram Music record label. Soon after their formation the band fine tuned their performance skills, touring heavily from 2006 to 2007, appearing at places like the Django Reinhardt Jazz Festival. 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.
The Wiltern also offers convenient and secured parking so that you can spend less time hunting for a parking space and more time enjoying their comfortable and relaxing atmosphere and decor.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. Just down the block from The Wiltern, you’ll find a wide variety of amazing restaurants, cafes, diners, and bars so you can enjoy great tasting food while you wait for the doors to open. Your ticket won’t just buy you access to one of the finest shows you could watch this October, but it also purchases you some of the most convenient shopping and dining around. Do you need something amazing to make up for a long hard week at work? Are you searching for a great place to spend an evening on Tuesday Tuesday 22nd October 2019? Then you could join many others when they come to The Wiltern to see Caravan Palace.
