Paris- based Caravan Palace can’t hide its New Orleans-style heritage anymore than Donald Trump can hide his hair piece. The French electronic-swing group is drenched in early 20’s through 40’s jazz features and pushes a wallflower to get up and do the jitterbug–or perhaps, the boogie-woogie. I speak from personal experience, of course.

The band–originally formed to provide a soundtrack to silent pornographic films–is also rife with talent. Its members include Sonia Fernandez Velasco (vocals and clarinet), Arnaud Vial (guitar), Hugues Payen (violin), Camille Chapelière (clarinet), Charles Delaporte (double bass) and Antoine Toustou (electronics and trombone).
