The Parisian
 

Get spiritual!.

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.

There are some big names in town this week. The clubs, bars, galleries and theatres of Paris are coming back to life, and if this week's lineups are anything to go by some of these venues have plans for 2009. If we had to pick one (I mean, give us a break, we already whittled it down from several hundred to 17), it'd probably be the man, the myth, the legend Osunlade at Batofar on Friday. Any opportunity to lose yourself in his deep, spiritual house, particularly through Batofar's awesome sound system, is not to be missed. We also have an exclusive interview with the man himself, which you can find here.

So. Open your agenda, put neat lines through everything else you had planned this week and let's get started.

Many thanks to this week's sponsor, point_ephemere.
