Angine de Poitrine have returned to Canada, and they didn't come alone.
The viral math rock pair returned to Toronto last night (Nov. 5) to play a sold-out show at History and surprised the crowd with new music, and even a new member. Joining Khn and Klek de Poitrine onstage was a new polka-dotted alien with a cube-shaped head, a long nose similar to Khn's and two horns in the shape of the signature yellow triangle featured on the group's usual attire.

Angine de Poitrine rocked out onstage as a trio as they debuted an upbeat new track with and a percussion break, during which their latest member delivered a high-energy triangle solo before clanging along with the original two members. It's the second taste of new music the group have given fans in less than two months, after debuting the summery "Zugzegk" on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in September, a track whose title refers to the band's wild 'success' over the past year.
Their History show kicks off their latest North American run and marks their return to Toronto for the first time since their packed debut in the city in July, which included a trio of Mod Club shows and an opening stint for Jack White at RBC Amphitheatre and an appearance at FIFA Fan Fest. They also performed at the Polaris Music Prize gala. The band will play its two next dates on home turf, with a show at Quebec City's Impérial Bell tonight (Nov. 6) and a return to Montreal's Club Soda on Nov. 16. the same venue where they launched their Billboard-charting breakthrough LP, Vol. II.
Their homecoming coincides with some major recent accolades, including a Polaris double win in September and four wins at the Premier Gala ADISQ this week (Nov. 4). After racking up a staggering 11 nominations, they are still vying for several of the top honours at the main ADISQ Gala, which takes place in Montreal on Sunday (Nov. 8).
After getting a first taste of RBC Amphitheatre as openers, the global breakthrough act will headline the famed outdoor venue one year later, on July 18, 2027, as part of their recently-unveiled international tour. Embarking on their biggest trek to date, the duo will circle back to Winnipeg, Ottawa and Calgary for their first headline concert in each city and also play major festivals worldwide such as Lollapalooza in Chile, Brazil and Argentina, Primavera Sound in Spain and more.
Whether or not they have officially morphed into a trio, Angine de Poitrine's new chapter is clearly on the horizon.
