Angine de Poitrine

Angine De Poitrine plays the McMenamins Crystal Ballroom on Friday, December 11, 2026. It's a Canadian act that doesn't sit still in one place: their music pulls from rock, folk, math rock, and chanson québécoise, so you'll hear the song-driven side of folk and rock sitting right next to the odd time signatures and angular shifts of math rock. The chanson québécoise part brings in the French-language songwriting tradition of Quebec, and that's where the act's roots are.

Because they work across those different styles, the set can shift gears pretty quickly. You might get a folk-leaning song that stays grounded in melody, followed by something with the rhythmic twists of math rock, and then a chanson that leans into the French vocal tradition. It's a lot to fit into one night, and that's exactly what they do.

They're coming from Canada, so this is a stop on their tour through the US. If you've never heard them before, that mix of rock, folk, math rock, and chanson québécoise is the best way to get a sense of what they're about. The show is at the McMenamins Crystal Ballroom, 1332 W Burnside St, Portland, OR 97209, on Friday, December 11, starting at 8 PM.
