Gigtastic in Paris
Animal Collective at Primavera Sound Barcelona
Winter may be upon us in Paris but there are lots of most excellent gigs coming up in the city of lights, including some of my very favourites like Animal Collective (above is a photo that I took at Primavera Sound in Barcelona in May this year and I have several more shots of the view up Avey Tare’s nose – available on request!). Right now Festival Les Inrocks is on in Paris which I’m a bit sad to be missing because there are many many great things happening. So far I have TV on the Radio lined up for December 1st and am contemplating others depending on funds (High Places!)
My picks:
19 Nov – Liam Finn @ Nouveau Casino (go see my lovely friend EJ)
22 Nov – Fujiya & Miyagi @ La Maroquinerie
29 Nov – Cold War Kids @ Bataclan
1 Dec – TV on the Radio @ Bataclan
2 Dec – Herman Düne @ L’Olympia

Antonia Hayes is an Australian writer, photographer and mother of one who woke up one morning somewhere in between The Eiffel Tower and Invalides unsure how she ended up there but decided to stay anyway. Originally from Sydney, she has been living in Paris since 2006 but still can't remember which one is the Left Bank and which is the Right Bank. Antonia is currently working on her first novel and is pretty sure she lives on the Left Bank.
