JetLag RocknRoll will be in London and Paris in late February, early May. Email us if you wanna share your favorite record stores, second-hand shops, and cheap eats! Also, are there any gigs aside from those at the Dirty Water Club?

Too bad you're not in town for the James Taylor Quartet gig at la Maroquinerie ... or perhaps you will be ? I forgot the exact date. You can check their website if you're interested.

thanks for the tips. we won't be going to the heavy...hopefully we find something we want to see!

Website for La Flèche d'Or : http://www.flechedor.fr/ Website for l'Entrepot : http://www.lentrepot.fr/httpdocs/musique02.asp Website for l'Utopia : http://www.utopia-cafeconcert.fr/

Have you checked the website of 'La Maroquinerie' ?

I'm going to the 4th March concert of The Heavy (I think the tickets are about 18 Euros though, it's hard to find cheaper than that). If you and your gang want to hook up with us there, let me know !

For really cheap concerts, you can check 'l'Entrepôt' (they have their own website), la Flèche d'Or or even l'Utopia (a bar where they have blues musicians), but though it may be cheap, the quality is not always there.

hey delmonas,
do you know of any gigs in early march (i just realized i wrote "may" in the original post--oops!)? the only thing i found was silver apples at nouveau casino, but it's 22 euros...! we're into garage, power pop, punk (but not hardcore), glam, ultrachicks ye-ye, rockabilly, some psychobilly...

Depends what kind of band you want to see. If it's small, indie ones, it's best to check their websites directly, if it's bigger acts, I usually book my seats directly with the venue.

What type bands would you be interested in catching ?

thanks for the tips. so 10 euros is impossible even for lunch? ah well.

we haven't seen any concerts we'd want to go to, but maybe more gigs will get booked by the time we finally go. what source do you use?

Wow, under 10 Euros is really pushing it if you want a menu, your best bet would be the ubiquitous vietnamese places that also do take-away (there's one on every corner, and the food is edible, good, even;). You may be able to find a cheap couscous near your place in Bagnolet as well (I don't know the area). I'll ask around and see what I can come up with.

In Montmartre, there's a café restaurant I really like (I love their lasagne, but they have more French stuff as well), but they are more in the 20 Euros range : it's called Un Zèbre à Montmartre, 38 rue Lepic, 18e. In Le Marais, I love the (very filling and delicious) sandwiches and jewish food at Sasha Finkelstein on rue des Rosiers (4e), not to be missed.

Are you planning to go to concerts as well ?

cool! i think we're staying in bagnolet, but we'll be out and about in the usual spots (bastille, le marais, montmartre, etc.). ideally, we'd like to find french cafes/restaurants that offer good lunch/dinner menus/formules for under 10 euros. is that possible?

I live in Paris so I may be able to give you a few pointers. As far as record stores go, I do most of my shopping online but I do love the PARIS JAZZ CORNER : they stock great vinyls/cds/dvds, not only jazz, but also funk and various types of music (no punk garage stuff though, but if you're into black us music, it's fabulous). Adress : 5 & 7 rue de Navarre, 5e (33143367892).

As far cheap eats go, I'd have to know which area you'll be staying in, what kind of food you like to eat ... and what you call 'cheap' ;) !
