Caravan Palace is a French Electro swing and Gypsy Jazz band based in Paris. The current band line-up consists of Zoé Colotis (vocals), Arnaud Vial (guitar, vocals), Hugues Payen (violin, vocals), Camille Chapelière (clarinet), Charles Delaporte (double bass, electronics), Antoine Toustou (electronics, trombone), and Paul-Marie Barbier (vibraphone, percussion). The group ostensibly 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 p**nographic movies;however, no such production company appears to exist, and all references to this company are only found in snippets of the Caravan Palace biography.
The band's influences include Django Reinhardt, Vitalic, Lionel Hampton, and Daft Punk
