Angine De Poitrine played a secret, unannounced show at Quai des Brumes on Saint-Denis the night before their headline set at Club Soda.
The duo, originally from Saguenay and formed in 2019, have spent the past year breaking out well beyond Quebec. Their 2026 KEXP session pushed them into wider circulation, and clips of their live shows, fast, tightly framed, and a bit disorienting, have been everywhere since.
On stage, they stay anonymous behind paper-mâché masks and matching polka-dot suits, with Khn de Poitrine handling guitar and looping on a double-neck setup while Klek de Poitrine drives everything forward on drums.
Quai des Brumes holds around 100 people, and there isn’t much separation in a room like that. The looping builds quickly when you’re standing a few feet away, patterns stacking on top of each other while the drums stay locked in. It’s precise music, but it doesn’t feel careful up close. The masks, the repetition, the pace of it all, it lands more like a performance than a set.
The following night at Club Soda is a different scale, but this one stayed contained, with the crowd pressed in and the band set up almost level with the room.
