There is a fake Angine de Poitrine<\/a> band touring in Russia now, according to reports.<\/p>\n

The real Angine de Poitrine recently performed at the opening night of The Great Escape<\/a> 2026 with an in-demand headline set at the opening party presented by NME.<\/a><\/p>\n

Stepping in to play the TGE Beach site tent after The Kooks were forced to pull out due to injury<\/a>, the buzzy Canadian math-rock duo capped off the first night of the legendary Brighton new music showcase festival on Wednesday, May 13.<\/p>\n

Now, according to Exclaim<\/a>!, there is a fake Angine de Potrine copying the groups polka-dotted math rock in Moscow.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a fake [version of the] band touring Russia already, with the costumes and everything,\u201d said Sam Murdock, an art director and layout designer who works with the real Angine de Poitrine, told Exclaim! \u201cAnd they keep tagging the band and they don\u2019t even say it\u2019s not a real band.\u201d<\/p>\n

Murdock continued: \u201cWe\u2019re living in a weird time where everyone\u2019s trying to make money off the band. Right now, there\u2019s like 1,500 fake T-shirts online already, and I removed 700 fake T-shirts on Tee Republic and on Red Bubble, but they keep on popping up.\u201d<\/p>\n

You can see a clip of the fake band here.<\/a><\/p>\n
