La Rentrée Looms....

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.

Well, the full effect of the annual shutdown is in evidence this week, but fear not, Parisians - there are still some shining nuggets of cultural gold to be found, albeit mostly in the clubs of our fair city.

The Paris Social Club continue to apply the party pressure, booking the big names as though August was over and done with - Todd Terje, Pépé Bradock and Boy 8-Bit grace their decks this week. The Nouveau Casino are on the same unrelenting tip, with the legendary Jello Biafra making an appearance on Monday.

Elsewhere in the arts, the Festival Silhouette (a promising series involving short film, music videos and film workshops) starts this week, and we're waiting with baited breath for the galleries to open with new expos next week... watch this space!

Many thanks to this week's sponsor, bombshop.
