Movements In Concert
Some bands take a few albums to find their footing. Not the California-based Movements, which emerged fully formed on their debut 2016 EP, Outgrown Things, and 2017 debut full-length, Feel Something. Both releases align well with the modern post-hardcore movement, with their rumbling guitar abrasions and vocalist Patrick Miranda's agonized screams. Their soul-searching lyrics, though, touch on depth-filled topics — family, mental health, and finding your place in the world — that resonate deeply.
But although Movements' musical approach certainly reveals them to be fans of kindred sonic spirits Balance & Composure, Pianos Become Teeth, and La Dispute, they're also unafraid to be adventurous. Exhibit A: the acoustic-based, delicate midtempo ballad "Fever Dream," and Miranda's penchant for anguished speak-singing, which puts an exclamation mark on the band's thoughts.
Miranda started Movements after dropping out of college — an aspiring documentary filmmaker, he was studying at art school — and deciding that music was more his calling. Things moved quickly after he demoed several songs and linked up with like-minded collaborators; in fact, Movements released a single, "Protection," via Bandcamp in January 2015 and signed with Fearless Records on the strength of their first-ever live show, a March 2015 gig opening for Have Mercy at Anaheim's Chain Reaction. (In a potentially career-changing twist, the band initially missed seeing an email from Fearless' A&R rep.)
The release of Feel Something has only cemented Movements' live skills. Miranda in particular is a mesmerizing frontman who stands at the mic and throws his heart and soul into singing, his gravelly voice exuding emotion. Thanks to this approach, the band has toured Southeast Asia, criss-crossed the U.S., and been on the Vans Warped Tour. Going forward, the musicians are committed to maintaining this hefty touring schedule. Movements nabbed a spot opening for Mayday Parade and the Wonder Years in the U.K., as well as appearances at 2019 festivals Welcome to Rockville, Sonic Temple Art + Music Festival, and the Epicenter Festival.
Movements were AMAZING. There were at least two mosh pits happening near me and I jumped in one and had an awesome time. I danced, sang and screamed until my voice gave out. Can’t wait to see them on their next tourrrrrr!!
Movements is amazing every time I see them and they just get better every time. By far one of the best bands to see live
I was there to see the amazing Spiritual Cramp. I left immediately afterwards. Movements are so boring.
They had a few really fun opening bands from the countries touring here in the US. It was really cool to see!! Also, the fans were all very sweet and welcoming. Movements themselves absolutely killed it, they sounded amazing. I am shocked I didn't lose my voice scream singing with them. Really good time! Writing this just to support them.
Venue was a 10, drinks were a 10, and show in general was a 10!
This was a sick show! the pit was fun! I almost caught the guitar pick, I sang my little heart out and lost my voice for a night. I had so much fun I'd love to see them again someday!
The first 2 acts were great! The venue was really nice too and from my view (the skybar) I was really excited to see Movements. Sadly the lead singer was sick so they had substitutes for many of the songs. The worst part - they didn’t even cover a lot of songs! It was like 7 songs total when I know they’ve done 22 in other places. Just felt like they cheated us. They should’ve cancelled altogether for another day instead of giving us a bad concert.
Opening bands were fine, nothing special. When it came for Movements to go on, someone came out and said Patrick was sick and lost his voice and couldn't sing, that other people would fill in for the songs. The guitarist sang a bit, and he was fine. He tried his best and thankfully knew all the words. They should have kept him singing. Then they brought out a bunch of other random people to sing. It was awful. Not a clue who they were. Two guys didn't know any of the words and it was just bad karaoke. I wish they had canceled this event. I have never experienced a band do this. I was so excited to see this band, I drove 3 hours for this. It was such bs and so upsetting. If they knew he was sick they should have canceled it. How can they replace the main lead singer? With a bunch of random people who don't know the songs. Most of the crowd was very upset. Never again.
I was able to snag VIP ticket and my friend were able to meet the guys, they were super nice! The show was amazing, great night all together!
Despite the bad crowd, good show for all. Not too crazy or anxiety inducing
