Quebec’s Masked Band Angine de Poitrine is Blowing Up
A unique musical act from Quebec is quickly gaining attention, not just for their music, but for their striking visual presentation. Angine de Poitrine, a band that performs while wearing paper-mâché masks with oversized, phallic noses and polka-dot costumes, is generating buzz both in Canada and beyond.
The band’s growing popularity has inspired a wave of online videos, with artists like Damien Robitaille and Arnaud Soly creating their own interpretations of Angine de Poitrine’s songs. Le Journal de Montréal reports that dozens of these videos are now circulating on the web.
Damien Robitaille recently shared a video of his take on the band’s music, titled “ANGINE DE POITRINE • Fabienk Chanson / Song #387,” on March 24, 2026. The Facebook post has already garnered significant attention, with over 7,100 reactions and 551 shares.
The band’s anonymity is a key part of their mystique and maintaining it has become a challenge as their fame grows. La Voix de l’Est details the band’s efforts to protect their identities.
Angine de Poitrine recently played a sold-out show at Microbrasserie L’Ardoise in Richmond, demonstrating their increasing draw. 107.7 Estrie reported on the successful performance.
The band also made an appearance at the 30th annual REGARD festival, as noted by La Presse. This appearance underscores the band’s rising profile within Quebec’s vibrant arts scene.
