Preoccupations

Originally referred to as Viet Cong just before changing their name in 2015, Preoccupations play a clever, expressive fusion of art rock and lo-fi pop that maintains an extremely human pulse regardless of the extensive usage of electronics and noise. The music group was created in 2012 by Matt Flegel and Scott Munro, two music artists from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Flegel was an associate from the famous Calgary indie rock-band Women, who’d split up almost a year prior, while Munro experienced formerly played acoustic guitar with Lab Coastline.

While touring European countries within Chad VanGaalen’s support music group, Flegel and Munro started working up suggestions for songs, so when they found out about the loss of life of Ladies guitarist Christopher Reimer, they recognized it was period to start a fresh project instead of looking forward to something easier to arrive. With Munro on acoustic guitar and Flegel on bass, both invited former Ladies drummer Mike Wallace to guy the drum package, and Danny Christiansen, who experienced caused Flegel and Wallace inside a Dark Sabbath tribute take action, came up to speed as guitarist.
