Angine de Poitrine and a Reptilia link to The Strokes

Angine de Poitrine has a documented connection with King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard through the influence of Flying Microtonal Banana (2017) and their appearance at the Field of Vision II festival in Colorado on August 14, 2026. With The Strokes, there are no statements or joint tours confirming an equivalent relationship.

Some questions answer themselves with a date. Angine de Poitrine, a Canadian duo, performed on **August 14, 2026** at Field of Vision II, the festival that **King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard** organizes in Colorado. Their booking agency confirmed it. It is not the same as a support tour, but it is a verifiable stage connection.

## The microtonality that changed their ears

Before that stage, there was a recognized influence. Members of Angine de Poitrine have cited **Flying Microtonal Banana**, released by King Gizzard in **2017**, as the album that pushed them to explore microtonality within rock. It is a fact they themselves put on the table, not a fan deduction.

Microtonality, for those who have never tried it, involves using intervals smaller than the conventional semitone. In practice it sounds like slightly out-of-tune guitars, and that is exactly what they are after. The fact that an Australian album from 2017 served as a gateway to that territory has commercial consequences: it brings Angine de Poitrine closer to King Gizzard's audience, a niche capable of filling its own festivals.

## The Strokes and "Reptilia": what is not confirmed

With **The Strokes**, there is nothing equivalent. There are no reliable statements from the duo citing **"Reptilia"** as one of their reference songs, nor a shared tour. The tour The Strokes announced for **2026** includes other support acts, not Angine de Poitrine.

There may be an aesthetic affinity between New York garage rock and the duo's sound. That does not turn an intuition into a fact. In festival and tour booking, one thing is for two bands to look good on paper and another for a signed deal to exist.

## Jack White and Goat: a date and a proposal that fell through

The schedule does confirm another date: Angine de Poitrine were listed as support for **Jack White** in **Toronto** on **July 14, 2026**. A month before the Colorado festival, and on a rock circuit with overlapping audiences.

With **Goat**, the Swedish psychedelic rock group, the story remained an attempt. Their representatives explained that opening a show was considered, but it never materialized. A proposal that never gets signed generates no fee or income: in the economy of an emerging band, every confirmed support slot pays off in visibility and merchandise sales at the venue.

The practical takeaway for anyone booking shows or buying tickets: Angine de Poitrine's solid connection runs through King Gizzard, through the declared influence of their microtonal rock and through a performance at a festival organized by the Australian band. Everything else is hypotheses awaiting confirmation.
