On Monday night, Angine de Poitrine made their US television debut performing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The band brought a new, unreleased song “Zugzegk” to the Studio 6B stage, playing with their signature mixture of precision and wild abandon.

The performance is another landmark in what has been the most remarkable of years for the band, and arrives as the duo are in the midst of their completely sold-out U.S. tour. Next month the group will return to the UK and EU for a further run of sold out dates including two shows at London’s The Troxy, before returning to Canada and the U.S. to tour further throughout November and December.

These dates cap an epic 2026 international live schedule for Angine de Poitrine that also featured sold-out headline dates, festival performances and more across the US, Canada, Japan, Europe, and the United Kingdom. It has been a momentous 2026 for Angine de Poitrine, a year that has also seen the acclaimed release of the duo’s second full-length album, Vol. II, available everywhere now.  Following the highly anticipated physical releases of Vol. I and Vol. II in June, the band debuted at No. 1 on nine Billboard charts in the US, including No. 3 on Top Album Sales, No. 2 on Vinyl Albums, and No. 2 on Indie Store Album Sales, and topped both the Official Rock & Metal Charts and Independent Breakers Chart in the UK among others.

Vol. II stretches the boundaries of Angine de Poitrine’s brisk, high-voltage approach with even bolder, more dynamic structures. Once again, three essential forces fuel the duo’s inspiration: acid techno, disco, and rock. Vol. II includes such fan favorites as “Fabienk,” which, true to Les Frères de Poitrine’s style, revolves around a single microtonal guitar loop that repeats, doubles, and evolves through a groove that is both insistent and liberating.

ABOUT ANGINE DE POITRINE:

Hailed by The Guardian for their “hypnotic riffs and grooves, whose proggy time shifts are all in astonishing lockstep, making this as much party music as it is prog,” the Mantra-Rock Dada Pythagorean-Cubist Orchestra known as Angine de Poitrine gaze in wonder at hot dogs, pyramids, and rock music in all its glorious excess. In just two years, time-traveling space-voyagers Khn de Poitrine (microtonal guitars, vocals) and Klek de Poitrine (percussion, vocals) have surpassed the earthly rock stars they once emulated, earning critical acclaim, millions of streams, and countless new fans worldwide. Structured around a dynamic interplay of adding and removing sound patterns in a constant state of metamorphosis, Angine de Poitrine’s repertoire makes hearts race and bodies move with ecstatic abandon. Through tight, pulsing drum grooves and intricate tangles of double-necked microtonal guitar, the noble brothers summon swirling vortices of hypnotic sound and vision.

Having spent much of the past two years in the eye of an ever-growing storm of enthusiasm from audiences and critics thanks to their asymmetrical, dissonant music and electrifying performances – including a stunning Live on KEXP session that has quickly amassed over 19M views and counting – Angine de Poitrine unveiled Vol. II in April 2026 to worldwide applause from such prestigious publications as the New York Times, Pitchfork, The Guardian, NME and more. The duo marked the album’s arrival with virtually non-stop touring around the globe, selling out venues worldwide within minutes, often months in advance. Highlights thus far include a one-night-only show supporting Jack White at Toronto, ON’s RBC Amphitheatre and a free headline show during the Montreal International Jazz Festival, which drew a record turnout in excess of 80,000 fans.

Angine de Poitrine is an anonymous artistic project. Any speculation regarding the identities of its members is unverified and not endorsed by the band.
