And despite the many recent modifications to band, music and arrangements, the vocalist and frontwoman is the first to admit it’s all just business as usual. It makes for a refreshing live music show, you can’t help but be in awe of their talents and the fusion of such an eclectic mix of sound.Since, Colotis has used her theatrical training and commanding stage presence to anchor the modern-day vaudevillians as they transformed into an international touring act with hundreds of millions of streams (across multiple platforms). Zoé Colotis delivered fine vocals to lead proceedings throughout but there’s no doubt the big draw here was the duo of Victor Raimondeau on saxophone and Antoine Toustou on trombone. & lt br& gt AN ECLECTIC MIX OF SOUND The majority of the set came from new album Chronologic released last year, but it was very well received with a huge reaction in particular to singles Miracle and Plume.

They’ve grown in stature and success over the years, with playing the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury in 2016 and being picked for Jools Holland’s Hootenanny.Īnd the instrumentalists and studio wizards have pushed their idiosyncratic soundscapes to new heights, continuing to blur the lines between vintage and modern. Ive been dying for new music ever since I first heard Wonderland and promptly bought every album you had out. If you haven’t heard Caravan Palace before, they’re a fusion of jazz and dance music, formed in Paris in 2005. Discovered you about a year ago and havent stopped listening since. It was a bit of an unusual start to the night with no support until the main act came onto stage at 9pm, but “DJ Wayne” did his best to keep a crowd of all ages bubbling to a beat. On the night Brexit finally came to pass The Journalix danced the night away with French electronic group Caravan Palace at a glorious venue named after a German prince who had a huge influence on British culture.
