LateRooms.com - Catch Lou Reed Live in Paris
Lou Reed, one of rock music's most influential figures, is set to visit Paris on his European tour.

PARIS, FRANCE, June 14, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Reed is due to play the French capital's Grand Rex venue on Tuesday July 5th, having announced the date as part of his European tour earlier this year.

Known for his work with The Velvet Underground and huge solo hits such as Perfect Day, the 69-year-old New Yorker boasts an impressive back catalogue of material.

He recently unveiled a remastered version of his notorious 1975 album Metal Machine Music, which polarised opinion at the time of its release.

Critics were initially unsure what to make of the record's long pieces of modulated guitar feedback, but it has since been reappraised as an early example of industrial rock or noise music.

Regularly cited as one of the most influential figures in contemporary music, Reed is preparing to release a DVD of his acclaimed performances at the US touring festival Lollapalooza in 2009.

For those who would rather see him in the flesh, tickets for the Paris gig are available online. Prices range from EUR66.30 to EUR109.50 (GBP58.80 to GBP97.10), with doors due to open at 19:00 local time.

Music fans will find a wide range of Paris hotels at LateRooms.com, which recommends the Hotel Bastille Paris.
