Caravan of Thieves: Funhouse
Like a lot of young string bands, Caravan of Thieves looks to the past for inspiration – but unlike many of their peers they do not revel in bluegrass or old-timey music. This is one band that digs in a different direction, grabbing their influences from Django Reinhardt, swing, tango, and even scary old movies. Add to that the contemporary sounds like the Beatles, 1960s folk and the theatrical production “Stomp” and you have a sense of the crazy mixed bag that is Caravan of Thieves.
