talking about shows in France, just learnt a sad news. The club where we do
our BiP_HOp monthly live-events has been forced to close for 60 days by the
police and city hall. There is no good reason for that decision and it sounds
like an excuse from the politicians to clean the city. That is very very bad
as it means that they won't be able to stay closed during such a long period
because they will lose so much money that they might not even be able to
reopen in November. I feel really down and also very disappointed.

Elsewhere in France you have to contact the people from Buro booking the best
gigs in Paris. The likes of Ikeda, Pita, etc... Try

Another seemingly good ressource in Paris is old friend Marie-Pierre Bonniol
who recently started booking in a new art/multimedia
club : Nouveau Casino/Cafe Charbon. This month they have Oval, Felix Kubin...
and lotsa other ones which elude me at the moment.

You can also contact Black Sifichi from me and explain the situation. He did
a record on Noise MuseuM and now co-books for
Metafort, in suburbs of Paris, Aubervilliers
