Parisian seven-piece electronic big band Caravan Palace is back at the Skyway Theatre this Friday, July 14th.
We previously caught the band in June 2016 and noted, “The energy was tangibly palpable, and reciprocated between the performers and the audience in a way I hadn’t seen in ages. While the colorful and deep hues of electro-waves hypnotized the crowd, the simultaneous brilliance and authentic 20’s swing overtones enlivened everyone’s bones. The audience was truly enraptured. It felt almost sacred, a subtle letting down of our collective guards. Caravan Palace immediately gave us permission to enter into celebration; a wild and yet knowing aliveness took hold, and we danced. And danced. There were so many smiles throughout the audience all night it was infectious.”

The So The World May Hear Awards Gala is one of the most acclaimed fundraising events in the country.

All Time Low will be headlining the Palace Theatre in St Paul this Sunday, July 16th. Please note that this is an all-ages show so show up early to check out SWMRS, Waterparks and The Wrecks.
We previously caught The Wrecks when they were only 11 months old in October 2016. By now, the Los Angeles alternative rock band are seasoned professionals.
As for bay area quartet SWMRS, we previously caught them in November 2016 and noted, “SWMRS’ music is a very upbeat, in-your-face, style of rock n roll. It’s got a classic sound but a unique feeling to it which makes it something memorable.”
