Our own inspiration comes from the thousands of hours listening to swing music on one side, and dancing in nightclubs on the other side. The result of a crossover is often something particular. It’s always an adventure and a chance to do our job during summer! We lived everything that can happen during that particular season, from cancelled gigs because of storms, to huge crowds under the sun. Great, as always! We were there two years ago, and we knew that it was a special venue, with a special audience, and, of course, special moments! We had the chance to be in a full band configuration, which never happens when we play abroad, so it was even more special!Įxhausting, but fantastic. We heard from some of our team that you rocked Secret Garden Party.

We had the time to prepare while… touring! We have been on tour since the release of the album in France (March 5th), so we work on the little details we don’t like for now, and that we’d like to improve for the autumn for our gigs in the UK and Germany. How have you guys been preparing for your upcoming tour? Are you excited? Personally am in Brittany, so my first thought is, of course: “how is the weather today?” So what was the first thing that went through your mind when you woke up this morning? So fine! After touring for the last 3 months, we have a break for 10 days… Hey! How are you? What have you been up this week? BBM spoke to one sixth (Hugo aka Hugues Payen) of Caravan Palace to hear all about the inspiration for their music and just how they came up with that random band name… We were intrigued to find out more about the band, consisting of Sonia Fernandez Velasco, Arnaud Vial, Hugues Payen, Camille Chapelière, Charles Delaporte and Antoine Toustou. Soon they had built up such a big fan base that an album became inevitable and they released their first irresistible single, ‘Jolie Coquine’. Before they even released an album, they were touring and attracting fans wherever they went. Caravan Palace are a French band with a strong Electro Swing and Gypsy Jazz vibe.
