CINDY LEE ADDED TO PREOCCUPATIONS TOUR
Preoccupations will be on tour this fall in support of their new album Arrangements, and they've just announced that joining them will be Cindy Lee, aka Patrick Flegel, who is the sibling of Preoccupations' Matt Flegel. They were also in Women together with Preoccupations drummer Michael Wallace. "It’s been 12 years since the ill-fated tour when the Women band imploded and the Flegacy split paths," write Preoccupations. "What a special tour this will be for all of us to be on the road again sharing the stage each night. A difficult one for words but an easy one for excitement and anticipations. Cannot wait!" The tour hits NYC on November 18 at Bowery Ballroom.
