  • When: Nov. 3 and 4
  • Where: HISTORY

New York City indie rock band Geese will be taking the stage at HISTORY this Tuesday and Wednesday night to support their fourth studio album, Getting Killed. The band formed in 2016, but didn’t blow up in popularity until the mid-2020s, when their self-produced demos got the attention of several small record labels.

Geese became even more well-known in recent years, having opened for Greta Van Fleet, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, and Vampire Weekend on major North American and world tours. Although the band’s first three albums failed to chart, Getting Killed reached 96 on the Billboard 200 and also charted on the Australian, Ireland, and UK charts. In 2026, Geese won International Group of the Year at the Brit Awards.

Songs you might know: “100 Horses,” “Au Pays du Cocaine,” “Cobra,” “Taxes,” and “Husbands.”

Tickets for Geese’s two concerts at HISTORY are sold out.

The instrumental math duo from Saguenay, Que., composed of guitarist/bassist Khn de Poitrine and drummer Klek de Poitrine under anonymous pseudonyms, have been gaining popularity in 2026 due to sheer absurdity of both their costumes and music. Angine de Poitrine have released two studio albums, which spawned fan favourite tracks “Sarniezz” and “Fabienk.” 

Earlier this summer, the duo played three sold out shows at the Mod Club, opened for Jack White at RBC Amphitheatre, and performed at FIFA Fan Festival in Toronto before the World Cup Finals broadcast. In October, Khn and Klek also won the 2026 Polaris Prize.

Songs you might know: “Sarniezz,” “Yor Zarad,” “Fabienk,” and “Sherpa.”
