Angine de Poitrine

Angine de Poitrine ("angina pectoris" in French) is an experimental rock duo from Saguenay, Québec, formed in 2019 by guitarist Khn and drummer Klek. They perform in papier-mâché masks and polka-dot costumes as alien characters obsessed with pyramids, singing in a fictional language—originally a one-week joke that became a regional hit.

International virality began when Seattle radio KEXP released Rencontres trans musicales footage February 5, 2026, clearing 2 million views in a week. A March 9 appearance on Tout le monde en parle spread further; April Fool's 2026 saw Québec businesses adopting their polka-dot aesthetic; Google added a polka-dot background for searches April 15. Detractors (including columnist Sophie Durocher) fueled counter-memes, while fans produced puns, Pokimane crossover edits, and Passe-Partout remixes. Know Your Meme filed a submission August 28, 2026.
