2027 JUNO Awards Performers
Since 2023, the enigmatic duo Angine de Poitrine, made up of brothers Klek and Khn de Poitrine, have been crafting their own brand of “Dada Pythago-Cubist Mantra-Rock,” blending asymmetrical grooves, hypnotic repetition and intricate microtonal melodies. Using an electronic looping module, Khn layers intertwining guitar and bass lines in real time, while Klek’s precise, dry-toned drumming guides the music through shifting rhythms, calculated silences and explosive crescendos. The result is a constantly evolving, dissonant and wildly danceable sound that pushes the boundaries of instrumental rock.
Self-proclaimed disciples of Earth’s rock deities, the space-time voyagers draw inspiration from hot dogs, pyramids and rock music in all its glorious excess. Since releasing Vol. 1 in 2024, Angine de Poitrine have generated growing enthusiasm among audiences, critics and the music industry alike. Angine de Poitrine won nine Félix Awards at the most recent ADISQ Galas, held on November 4 and 8, 2026, in the following categories: Album of the Year – Critics’ Choice, Rock Album of the Year, Artist of the Year – International Reach, Songwriter or Composer of the Year, Song of the Year for “Fabienk,” Group or Duo of the Year, and Breakthrough Artist of the Year, in addition to two awards presented to their team for Arrangement of the Year and Sound Engineering, Mixing and Mastering of the Year. Following electrifying performances at major Quebec festivals, including the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal, the duo have set their sights on international stages, including the prestigious Trans Musicales in Rennes. Above all, Klek and Khn de Poitrine are simply thrilled to play rock ‘n’ roll.
