This being said, we also feel that there is a very specific American enthusiasm that we appreciate a lot. Is there a difference in playing in the Europe versus the United States? Of course, United States are so big! The main difference is the time it takes to go everywhere. In what ways have you prepared for the tour, will we be seeing some new dance routines? We just added a new short one at the end of the show, but the Lindy/ Charleston parts are more “happenings” - like instrumental solos - than a real “dance demonstration.” We want to keep our live shows a bit wild, with a rock and roll energy more than turning them into bad Black Swan-ish swing-y moments. Obviously, you approach music (as well as life) differently every time you start an album, so what I can say is that we were really excited to experiment with new ideas and that we put a lot of fun in it as we recorded it, almost like kids playing and messing around. You constantly have new influences (and hopefully a bit more of savoir faire). Sometimes between the beginning and the end of it, you totally change your mind. Ahead of their arrival, vocalist Zoé Colotis talked to Knockdown Alley about combining jazz and electronic music, starting a new song, and who she’s been listening to recently.ĭid you approach the third album, Robot Face, differently from the last two albums? Every time you start a new song, you’re a different person.

And their North American tour brings them to Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas on Sunday. Their third full-length, Robot Face, arrived last fall.

Inspired by the likes of Cab Calloway, Daft Punk, and Django Reinhardt, the seven-piece Caravan Palace have been doing their own take on electro-swing since forming in Paris eight years ago.
