Fake Band Dupes Angine de Poitrine's Math Rock Style in Russia Tour

A fake version of Canadian math-rock duo Angine de Poitrine is touring Russia, complete with costumes and a similarly polka-dotted aesthetic. According to Exclaim!, the copycat band has been performing at music festivals and shows in Moscow, leaving fans wondering if it's all just a clever prank or something more sinister.

The real Angine de Poitrine recently performed at The Great Escape 2026, stepping in for an injured act, but now another group is taking their place on the festival circuit.
