Brother aliens, Klek De Poitrine (drums) and Khn De Poitrine (guitar and bass), touched down at the Lincoln Theatre for their second sold-out D.C. show of their first U.S. tour. Fans filled seats in polka-dot costumes, ready to enter the weird, microtonal world of Angine De Poitrine.
As the duo took the stage, they greeted each other before turning to the audience for a ritualistic chant. They raised their signature triangle hand sign. The earthlings knowingly returned the gesture, initiating start of the show.
They kicked off the set with “Angor.” Khn began building his looping riff, then signaled for the audience to clap along by tapping his headpiece as a light blinked in time with the beat.
Watching Khn construct the songs live was the most fascinating part of the show. The microtonal guitar and bass parts are technically demanding on their own, but seeing him layer the parts of the song in real time with his polka-dot-covered bare feet added a whole other level of complexity. Klek also navigated the strange time signatures with perfect precision, driving the foundation of each layer. The earthlings were mesmerized by watching the songs take shape piece by piece.
Audience interaction became part of the performance, with call-and-response chants during “Ababa Hotel” and before “Sarniezz,” another exchange at the start of “Sherpa,” and more during “Tamebsz.” Between songs, strange alien grunts and yells served as the duo’s delightfully bizarre stage banter.
Angine De Poitrine’s unconventional approach could easily become a gimmick in less capable hands, but Klek and Khn have the technical and creative prowess to make it work. There’s something refreshing about watching a band commit so completely to the bit, creating a world that is as strange and playful as it is musically impressive.
