Angine de Poitrine in Portland

Angine de Poitrine, the anonymous Canadian rock duo known for their absurdist papier-mâché masks and polka-dotted costumes, brings their chaotic live show to Portland. The pair, performing as Khn de Poitrine (guitar, bass) and Klek de Poitrine (drums), deliver complex microtonal compositions blending math rock and experimental rock. Their performances are a sensory overload of intricate rhythms and theatrical visuals, creating an atmosphere that is both disorienting and exhilarating.

Since their viral KEXP session in early 2026, the duo has gained international attention for their high-energy sets and Dadaist stage presence. Their music, described as "dissonance-induced cardiac malfunction," is a relentless barrage of technical precision and absurdist humor. Attendees can expect a show that defies convention, with the duo's oversized masks and black-and-white aesthetic adding a surreal layer to the experience.

This Portland date is part of their ongoing international tour supporting their second album, Vol. II. For fans of experimental rock and math rock, this is a rare opportunity to see one of the most talked-about live acts in recent memory.
