Find out why Saint John, New Brunswick’s Little You Little Me are being called one of the best bands in the Maritimes for their blistering live set when they tear the roof off of l’Esco at today’s Sunday Pasta Party, which will also feature punk rock trio Rose Bush and a heaping plate of spaghet. 4461 St-Denis, 5–8 p.m., $12

Montreal’s Film Society hosts a screening of Lucio Fulci’s 1977 film The Psychic, which is more on the spooky end of the giallo spectrum than the gory horror the genre is better known for.

Cinema VA-114 (1395 René-Levesque W.), 6:30–9:30 p.m., $8/$6 students & seniors

Tonight’s program of electronic, experimental and noise improv acts at la Vitrola promises “sonic destruction,” so pack some earplugs and an open mind. 4602 St-Laurent, 9 p.m., $5
