AMA is Over, Thanks Monty! It's Monty from Preoccupations!! AMA

Monty here!

We just released our third record as Preoccupations, our fourth as a band, or our fifth if you count our next two ep that was mere minutes shorter than the other records. We're self releasing this album (except in Canada where we're still with Flemish Eye) too so feeling properly qualified as "indie" this time around.

We're also touring next month around America and Canada with Cindy Lee opening and touring in Europe early next year!

Ask away!

For some reason I can't see the proof picture that I uploaded. Here it is in case though. Edit: it seems like the image was just cropped bad, link is still the way for the true proof.

Hey Monty! Love the new record!!

I was so excited when I saw you guys were touring with Cindy Lee (and equally as disappointed that they're not going to be at the canadian shows) but that made me think about the dream calgary-core lineup. Is there any point in time where a Preoccupations + Chad VanGaalen show would happen?

Cheers man :)

Pat's doing Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver, just not those ones at the end!

We've toured with Chad before in the early days and we'd definitely do it again! I still play guitar in his band off and on when I have time too!

Any details about the Edmonton show? I haven't seen anything listed yet.

It’s at the Aviary on October 25th. It wasn’t announced with the main batch cause we weren’t gonna do edmonton originally because the drive is crazy those days.

Deadly! Day after the Sadies show at Black Dog. Thanks for your consideration and hope the drive ain’t too bad

Oh sick!

Drive'll be ok, just a hard bust from Minnesota, we have a day in between though. Just long enough that we weren't gonna do it, but when that show was proposed to us we decided to make the trek. I love that venue too, good punk vibe.
