Caravan Palace: Lone Digger

A new video by Paris based electro-swing act Caravan Palace, for the track Lone Digger.

The song features on their most recent album <I°_°I> in October, which features their previous single Comics.

Probably for the benefit of radio DJs, the album title is also apparently knopwn as Robot Face.

The band have been attracting some attention in the UK, with a high-profile appearance on the Jonathan Ross show at the end of last month.

They tour the UK in December, with dates in Bristol, Glasgow, Manchester, Brighton, London and Norwich.

Before then they play L'Olympia in Paris on November 20.

Caravan Palace:Live on the Jonathan Ross show

A high-profile appearance for a French band in the UK, with Caravan palace appearing on the Jonathan Ross show.

The programme is ITV's flagship talkshow, broadcast on Saturday nights.

The episode featuring Caravan palace was broadcast on Saturday October 31, other guests on the show included Priscilla Presley, Elvis Costello, Rob Beckett and Danny Dyer.

Caravan Palace released their album, entitled <|°_°|> last month, following the release of the songs Comics and Lone Digger as singles.

I featured the band on this blog in July, nice to see them getting some recognition.

The band are touring extensively, and have a number of dates in the UK from December 10

Caravan Palace: Comics

A fresh clip by Caravan Palace for the track Comics.

Caravan Palace, who describe themselves as an electronic/big band come from Paris and released their debut album in 2008.

A second album entitled Panic followed in 2012.

They describe their influences as  Django, Vitalic, Cab Calloway, Justice, Lionel Hampton, and Daft Punk , and brew these together into something quite wonderful.

They take jazz, and take to a place that no-one else has discovered yet.

This track comes from their forthcoming collection entitled <I°_°I> , which might not win them any favours with DJs trying to pronounce it on the radio.
