The Parisian
 

First & Last.

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.

A week of firsts and lasts awaits us - IRCAM publically test their new WFS sound system, Cheers houses up Djoon for one last time, the Kabakovs unveil their new canvases, Art:Concept open their new space with a Nathan Hylden expo...

Not for the first (or last) time, we have freebies to give out: check the Seal Cub Clubbing Club article for a free MP3 from the band's awesome "Dawn Lamb" EP.

See you out there...

Many thanks to this week's sponsor, bombshop.
