The founding members consisted of Hugues Payen (violin), Arnaud Vial (guitar), and Charles Delaporte (double bass), but shortly expanded into a lineup that included Camille Chapeliere (clarinet), Aurelien (guitar, DJ), Sonia Fernandez Velasco (vocalist), and Antoine Toustou (trombone, drum machine). This dilemma prompted the band to go on a hunt for additional musicians, which they found through the help of social media sites like myspace. While their music was perfectly suitable for an album release it did nor fair well as a live act. Initially the group did not have a problem functioning as a 3 piece as they were able to produce lush compositions through their expansive knowledge of various instruments and recording techniques. Caravan Palace originated as a trio, but have since more than doubled in size. The group mixes in modern electronic pop beats heard by acts like Daft Punk and Justice, but also integrate musical cues from 1920s style jazz artists such as Django Reinhardt.
