Weaving its way through the fringes of punk, new wave and krautrock, La Sécurité’s music is made for the dance floor. The Montreal-based five-piece collective debuted with 2023’s Stay Safe!, a quick-pulsed, confident record that Bill Pearis of music blog BrooklynVegan describes as “an enticing batch of party-friendly jams shouted in sneering Franglais that recall everything from Le Tigre to Neu! to Kleenex/Liliput.” La Sécurité rises above simple thrill by injecting its songs with Riot Grrrl lyrical influence, often using music as an outlet to celebrate women’s autonomy. The collective’s live shows promise to be just as vibrant as its recorded material, complete with improvised dances, trips into the crowd by frontwoman Éliane Viens-Synnott and a let-loose attitude. CDSM, a death disco post-punk collective based in Atlanta, will open the show.
