About this Event

La Sécurité (Montréal/Tiohtià:ke) is a collective whose art punk is equal parts: jumpy beats, off-kilter arrangements and minimalistic melodic hooks; run through an insomniac filter, the result of excessive exposure to the city’s neon lights. The music is all about living dangerously, perfectly agreeable to being blasted onto dancefloors; while the lyrics share the ethos of the Riot Grrrl movement, and celebrate the autonomization of women, friends (mean and nice) as well as benevolence. The motley bunch meanders the fringes of punk, new wave and krautrock, mischievously flouting stylistic form every chance they get. These five scattered, yet creatively concerted entities also propose a wide arsenal of D.I.Y. music videos, visuals, screenprints, patented dance moves, etcetera!

Stay Safe! (June 16th, 2023 via Mothland), La Sécurité’s debut album, is manic yet surprisingly laid-back, painting unique sonic graffitis evoking a polymorphic reality. Bill Pearis from Brooklyn Vegan describes the long-player as “an enticing batch of party-friendly jams shouted in sneering Franglais that recall everything from Le Tigre to Neu! to Kleenex/Liliput (also Montreal’s Duchess Says)”. For their first full-length, the collective turned to producer Samuel Gemme at Gamma Recording Studio (Corridor, Population II), printing songs that are empowering, flush with urgency, but also denote a dash of melancholia. The following year, the flamboyant bunch offered Stay Safe! REMIXED (March 8th, 2024 via Mothland), a collection including remixes from Born at Midnite, The Mauskovic Dance Band and Freak Heat Waves, giving listeners a yet another fix of that “addictively saccharine angular pop” (The Line of Best Fit).

You can find La Sécurité sporting thrift-shopped goodies in dark underground venues, on the rooftop of a tanning salon, or on VHS tape performing tunes for Audiotree Live, indulging in a symbiotic hurrah of disheveled music, cloaked poetry and improv dancing, with movement as a main creative fuel. Since coming together in the Spring of 2022, the five-piece has been invited to perform noteworthy events such as The Great Escape, Reeperbahn Festival, SXSW, Focus Wales, FIJM, New Colossus and Sled Island, also sharing the stage with the likes of Automatic, Death Valley Girls, Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp, Margaritas Poridas, Exek, and Civic. “The bilingual post-punk jams the quintet dishes out are insanely catchy, with vocalist Éliane Viens-Synnott’s carefree dance moves and multiple trips into the crowd making for a captivating frontperson.” (Consequence)

As they gear up for upcoming US dates in the Winter of 2025, La Sécurité offer us a second single via British imprint Bella Union, French scorcher “Ketchup” (January 28th, 2025), also available on the other side of the pond via boutique label Mothland (CA/US).
