As a result, the House of Blues Houston has become one of the city's top spots for live music performances. Camille Chapelière glided across the stage with his deep and dark saxophone, Arnaud Vial brought us to the streets of France with his dancing fingers on the guitar, Colotis gave us a swing dance performance and Paul-Marie Barbier made the music itself dance.Īs I listen to Caravan Palace discography following the show, I can only wish that hearing the music in my ear buds will bring me the happiness I felt among the audience at the House of Blues.The House of Blues Houston is one of a rare breed of venues which allows fans to see some of the biggest names in music up close and personal in an intimate, yet stellar setting. Payen’s violin strokes coincided with Toustou’s robotic scats, albeit that of a robot with a full personality – while Delaport’s upright bass gave each song a heartbeat. Each band member added his or her flavor to the show. It brought me to the 1930s to the most romantic speakeasies where flappers are enjoying life and each others’ company.Īnd that’s what every audience member felt at the House of Blues Saturday. Its beautiful live blend of swing, gypsy jazz, Argentinean tango and electronic dance brought me to the streets of France where natives are entertaining themselves and one another. “Are you all still happy?” Colotis shouted, knowing well the effect Caravan Palace has on the human spirit.

Caravan Palace is a band that exhibits articulation, both on stage, and recorded. I noticed Colotis paying extra mind to the words she sang, as the movement of her mouth created a pronounced dimple in her cheeks. This is the real kind of EDM, which features real instruments that remind us of eras of leisure, not just of money-making.
