We worked our way up to the front and waited as they set up the stage.Īs we found our place in the crowd, we settled with some friends, and who would later be described as their biggest fan. Even though we were totally into the set, we took a moment to get a tasty adult beverage and a snack (we might have only grazed at home, and seeing people eating chicken fingers made us totally blow our training diet). This was a cool mix of latin beats, hip hop, and live drumming. When we arrived, the opener, Gio Chamba, was well into his set. The majority of their extensive touring (hundreds upon hundreds of shows in the last 8 years) has been throughout Europe, and their first U.S. It really, really works for them, and it’s only described best with a listen (check out Lone Digger for your first track!).Ĭaravan Palace has never been to Texas. In fact, they self-describe as both being influenced by Django Reinhardt and Daft Punk. Since 2006, this French septet managed to formulate an incredibly recognizable marriage of jazz and swing with electronic genres. We snagged our tickets and swam down to the House of Blues.Ĭaravan Palace is not a new face to the scene in any means. “Is this your first time using the Internet?”Īfter some quick YouTube searching, we realized that we were complete idiots for not knowing the name to some of the freshest music we’ve been listening to for the last several years. “Caravan Palace is playing at the House of Blues tonight!”
