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).

Don't Look Now is a 1973 English-language thriller film directed by Nicolas Roeg, adapted from the 1971 short story by Daphne du Maurier. Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland portray Laura and John Baxter, a married couple who travel to Venice following the recent accidental death of their daughter, after John accepts a commission to restore a church. They encounter two sisters, one of whom claims to be clairvoyant and informs them that their daughter is trying to contact them and warn them of danger. John at first dismisses their claims, but starts to experience mysterious sightings himself. Please note we will not be showing the film at the meeting.
