Editor’s Note: By now we know the deal: Preoccupations used to be called Viet Cong, but they changed their name earlier this year because some didn’t like the idea of a Canadian post-punk band appropriating that kind of moniker. On the other hand, Methyl Ethel used to be called Methyl Ethel, and the Australian dream-pop-psych-whatever band kept their name because that moniker kind of rules. Together, the two sent a jolt through the Sinclair last night, delivering some guitar-rock fever within the Harvard Square rock club, and Ben Stas was on hand for Vanyaland to capture all the dudes in action. Check out his full gallery below, and revisit our 2015 interview with Preoccupations’ Scott Munro here.
