Fleche d’Or to close: too rock for the 20eme?
April 13, 2009
The legendary Fleche d’Or, known as one of the few outposts for live indie/pop music in Paris, will close its doors this month despite numerous petitions and artistic outcry.
It seems the up-and-coming 20eme arrondissment, with its new Starck hotspot Mama Shelter, has become too branché for the slightly grungy train station-turned concert space. After a series of noise complaints, the rock joint that once served as the backdrop for numerous artist debuts is being forced out of the neighborhood. The building now belongs to the Republique Française and will be used as a reception/conference area.
Concerts are ongoing through the end of April, so get your fill of the indie rock ambiance before the curtain closes forever. http://www.flechedor.fr/index.php/Agenda/
