About Me
Angine de Poitrine is a rock band from Canada created in the year 2019. It comprises of two artists who go by the pseudonyms Khn de Poitrine and Klek de Poitrine.
Angine De Poitrine
Angine de Poitrine is a Canadian rock duo formed in 2019 in Saguenay, Quebec. The group is based on anonymity and both members perform under the stage names Khn de Poitrine and Klek de Poitrine, with their real identities unrevealed. This mysterious process has been embedded in their artistic DNA.
Their work is more often praised for concept and presentation than for traditional celebrity presence. The duo does not focus on individual personalities, but rather on visual storytelling, performance atmosphere and a strong sense of enigma. It’s an experience of the band that’s more like an ongoing artistic project than a traditional rock act, and that creates a special bond with fans.
Over time this anonymity, and unique style has allowed them to develop a dedicated fan base that is drawn to the project both for the music and the mystery.
