The Parisian
 

Deal or No Deal.

Welcome to The Parisian, your source for what's on this week, and this weekend, in Paris. Looking for clubs, gigs, art shows, exhibitions, film, dance and theatre in Paris? We sort through hundreds of events every week and bring you the cream of the crop.

It's a great week for fans of all things Americana, with Fleet Foxes, Seasick Steve and The Spinto Band all paying a visit to our fair city. On the other side of the coin, if dreaming of the wide plains is not your cup of tea there are some heavy electronic events in town too - Thunderheist, Tido Berman and DJ Spinna bring the large beats and bass to the party, and Ebony Bones at Batofar should be pretty explosive too.

On the visual side, there's work from Michael Landy, Gregory Crewdson and Tadashi Kawamata amongst others, and for film buffs, the launch party of Future Shorts France at Favela Chic.

Right then. We're off to make a film about a kid from the projects winning "Deal or No Deal". Surefire winner.

Many thanks to this week's sponsor, bombshop.
