French Canadians La Securité play fast, juddering indie rock that leans heavily into the funkier side of post punk. Think early '80s Gang of Four, Au Pairs and Parquet Courts. The tickets are cheap and it should be a fun show. Here's what they sound like: Detour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ic1sb5v-rkw&list=RDIc1sb5v-rkw Deny: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFRRataXgAI&list=RDUFRRataXgAI Bingo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWRXuQO9ZEs&list=RDlWRXuQO9ZEs Tickets are under £12 including booking fee and available [here](https://dice.fm/event/yox2qr-la-securit-22nd-oct-the-100-club-london-tickets?cid1=154426024&cid2=43269364&pid=f5e6ac52&_branch_match_id=1600678357644852432&utm_medium=partners_api&_branch_referrer=H4sIAAAAAAAAAw3JMQ6DMAwAwN9kJMTYASpF3fqNiiYOWFCIDBJMfXtZ76bjKPvD2kXWuUoSucpfu3BL3LmERPCMkiBgA75vPJoiKWRiP0QCc5cLjhDB14Dmp5xZVdbx%2FdHt3FnDS27brj9mso1CZgAAAA%3D%3D).

Kloyd's debut mixtape, *New Love*, has become one of my favourite releases of this year, the graceful Swedish electronica artist mixing keyboards, beats and vocal loops to often mesmerising effect. This isn't going to be one of those shows where the band is jumping around, but I can't wait to hear this music coming out of gig venue-sized speakers. What music am I talking about?

It stars Andrew Robinson, Clare Higgins, Ashley Laurence, and Doug Bradley as the leader of the Cenobites. Please note we will not be showing the film at the meeting.
