Quebec’s famous electric rock duo, recognized for their unique style featuring microtonality and math rock, and their enigmatic black-and-white polka-dotted costumes, could serve as inspiration for your next Halloween ensemble. Instead of the usual salt-and-pepper shakers, you and your partner can opt for the Angine de Poitrine couple’s costume available at Party Expert for around a couple hundred dollars. The costumes quickly sold out online following recent media coverage but have since been restocked, hinting at the band’s rising mainstream appeal.
Renowned as a symbol of anti-AI creativity, the duo has garnered a dedicated following applauding their embrace of eccentricity, from their experimental electronic sound to their claim of being 333-year-old time-traveling extraterrestrials who communicate in a fictional language during performances. For approximately $105 each, you can embody drummer Klek de Poitrine’s distinctive white attire or guitarist Khn de Poitrine’s signature black ensemble this Halloween.
Originating from Saguenay, Quebec, the duo emerged in 2019, gaining traction within the local underground music scene before launching their debut album, “Vol. 1,” in 2024. Their unconventional approach attracted attention, but it was their electrifying live show at the Festival Trans Musicales in Rennes, France, in December 2025 that propelled them to stardom, amassing over 20 million views on YouTube since the video was posted by KEXP in February.
Following their sophomore album release, “Vol. II,” in April, the band enjoyed critical acclaim and soaring concert ticket resale prices exceeding $500 for their 2026 tour. They drew record-breaking crowds at music festivals and claimed top honors, winning the Polaris Album Prize and SOCAN Polaris Song Prize for their track “Fabienk.” Drummer Klek expressed gratitude for the band’s success, attributing it to perfect timing and chemistry between the two musicians.
While the official costumes are available for $59.99 each, the matching masks or hats come at an extra cost of $44.99, making it a relatively expensive outfit choice. Some fans have opted for a do-it-yourself approach, with tutorials circulating on social media platforms for creating a Khn costume. For those hesitant about the price tag, embracing Angine de Poitrine’s quirkiness by crafting homemade versions using everyday items and a dash of creativity could be a budget-friendly alternative.
