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.
this was my 15th time seeing movements and per usual they put on an amazing show with an amazing set list. Pat brings the energy out of the crowd like no other. Also huge shout out to citizen. Way to Rep Toledo in basically a hometown show.
Movements is one of my favorite bands, but I haven't had the chance to see them live prior to this show. I knew they were going to be awesome, but I was not prepared for just how incredible of a show they put on! The music mix was spectacular, the diversity of songs from across their history was excellent, and Patrick's vocals were immaculate! Additionally, the band's presence on stage was powerful. They weren't just going through the motions or acting out a bit--they all felt extremely engaged, earnest, and raw in their performances, exemplified in Patrick's honest and vulnerable engagement throughout. I cannot wait for the next time they come to Detroit...I will definitely be there :)
Great band. Awesome show by all the opening acts. Venue was great
10/10 great show every time! Ive seen them 3 times now, 2 times was 2/3 legs of the rukus tour and they NEVER fail to put on a great show!!! So much dancing and fun!
Movements has grown alot with their live shows. Highly recommend seeing multiple times, they just keep getting better
This was such a fun tour with 2 equally amazing bands! Citizen always brings the heat and gets the crowd dancing! They played songs off a few diff albums and literally covered very intense, fun vibe! Movements also did not disappoint! Pat and the crew had the whole room singing along and dancing! Mostly songs from their new album, but they also played some off my favorite, Feel Something! 🖤🖤
So fun but stressful, I felt like I constantly had to watch for people crowd surfing ever 5 seconds and then being shoved so hard by the mosh pit, and drinks being spilled all over me but I guess that’s how it goes lol
fast pass continues to ruin experiences, with no amount of love or dedication to an artist being more important than other people's money. it doesn't matter how early you get there, teenagers seeing a concert on their parents dime will always be in front annoying you and taking the best seats because of the fast pass ripoff
All of the bands had great energy and it was an amazing experience
Show was amazing! Both band and staff were very enthusiastic and entertaining.
I love all the heart they put into their songs. And they are such awesome people the way they interact with the crowd.
i've seen movements probably about 4 or 5 times now, if they are in my area i make it a mission to be there no matter what 🩵 first time i saw them was as an opener and it was the best time ever and every show since has been phenomenal. the energy is always 1000%, the crowds are super fun and it feels like home no matter if its your 1st or 99th show. i'd recommend to anyone, fan or not. seeing them live will make you on :)
Movements gets better and better every single time I see them! These guys are absolutely amazing. So kind and put on the best show!
The show was everything I wanted and more. The energy was definitely there.
I enjoyed the vibe of the openers but Patrick brought the energy to a new level and as always his vocals were 🔥 fire 🔥. I'm so happy I was able to see them live. First time too! I was blown away and had a great time. The band was incredible.
Show was awesome. Was a bit annoying when the security was just flashing his light at someone for something that nobody else seemed bothered by and it made Tigers Jaw stop their song to tell him to stop interrupting the show. Other than that it was so awesome! I got the VIP and that was such a great experience. Well worth it. Glad prices weren’t awful either.
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
The KILLED THE SHOWWWW! So amazing live and the music itself so awesome!! I 111% will go to another show!! Praying for the next TOURRRRR!!!
I was there to see the amazing Spiritual Cramp. I left immediately afterwards. Movements are so boring.
