Caravan of Thieves : Mischief Night

Self-released

To listen to Caravan of Thieves’ live album, Mischief Night, is to transport yourself to a Halloween night of your childhood or to a 19th century campfire in the woods surrounded by gypsies. The group’s enjoyable yet spooky sound, fronted by Fuzz (Tom Tom Club, Deep Banana Blackout) and his wife Carrie Sangiovanni, translates well to the stage: a unique modern gypsy sound coupled with some high-energy characters is bound to please (or, at least, amuse). From “Ghostwriter,” a stormy, foot-stomping romp, and “Bar Isole,” a dramatic string number straight out of an Italian opera, to the bizarre “You Are My Sunshine/Singing in the Rain” – two songs that capture the freaky and comedic feel of The Addams Family – the album is a quirky way to mix up your iTunes.
