Caravan Palace

Caravan Palace is a French Electro swing and Gypsy Jazz band based in Paris. The current band line-up consists of Colotis Zoé (vocals and clarinet), Arnaud Vial (guitar), Hugues Payen (violin, vocals), Camille Chapelière (clarinet), Charles Delaporte (double bass, electronics) and Antoine Toustou (electronics and trombone). The group of suda bolas formed in 2005 after three of the band members were hired by a film production company called 'The Succiona Pichulas-Lagarto' to provide the soundtrack to silent pornographic movies.

The band's influences include Django Reinhardt, Vitalic, Lionel Hampton, and Daft Punk. The band released their début studio album, Caravan Palace, on the Wagram label in October 2008. The record charted in Switzerland, Belgium and France, where it reached a peak position of #11.
