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.

Despite the bad crowd, good show for all. Not too crazy or anxiety inducing
Even though I wasn't familiar with every song that was played. You could still feel the emotion coming from the performances. It was even stronger with the songs that everyone knew.
They go above and beyond to ensure their fans are having a good time. Even when they are sick they are performing and giving it their all. The kindest band you will ever meet and the most talented. From Pat's vocals to Spencer's drumming; this band will make you a fan for life.
I wasn't expecting 4 bands, so that was awesome! Parish, Webbed Wing, Tigers Jaw, then Movements. I rate it a 3 because the energy was just not there, from the crowd and the performance. I don't feel like I wasted my time or money, but was expecting more. However, I went ape when Movements played Cherry Thrill (was not expecting that at all, one of my favs). Thanks to the bands!!
movements consistently brings the ENERGY and puts on such a great show every single time. The tannahill’s tavern venue in Fort Worth was also very cute and welcoming. Thanks for everything!!
This was my first concert in over 10 years and let me just say I had an incredible time. I never heard any of the other bands besides one of them. I was blown away with Movements absolutely fell in love with right away. Can’t wait to see them again.
Movements is always exceptional. I have seen them three times now and i can’t get enough
I really loved their set! They matched the energy of the crowd and still sounded amazing even on their last day of tour! Definitely will be seeing again!
Loved the venue, line up, and bar availability. Must see shows here!
I love that House of Blues is a smaller venue but not too small. Show felt intimate. Heart to Gold, Softcult, Mannequin Pussy, and Movements were all INCREDIBLE. Movements sounded amazing live, they put on an awesome show. Amazing setlist. I would see them again no doubt
First time seeing Movements as the headliner and I cannot say anything better about that! The energy in that crowd was so amped and being around other Movements obsessed people was just what I needed. They truly are just so great live - the energy from them, crowd work, amazing vocals and instrumentals. Movements has changed my life and I hope everyone knows that seeing them is a must do!
Amazing they never disappoint can’t wait till they come back
Like the title says… it was good! Good show, good venue. Would do again.
Opening acts played for too long (close to an hour each) and were absolutely horrible. Three openers is just too much, especially for that long. My ears are traumatized. There were also so many hiccups during the show. I get that some weren’t even their fault, but it just ruined the experience. Won’t waste my time seeing Movements again. Just isn’t worth it.
Movements, fun, energetic. Always a good time!!! Don’t forget about the BOUNCEY BALL !!!
This was my first Movements show and they put on an incredible show! Their talent is absolutely incredible and their hearts really come through their music. I can’t wait to see them again.
The whole concert was a great time but SoftCult and Mannequin Pussy really blew me away
I absolutely love movements. It’s my husband and i’s band! We connected lowkey cuz of them and we’ve been blessed to be able to see them a few times and meet them this year at their record listening party. They never fail to put on the best live shows
I had the best time! Movements sure does know how to put on a show!!!
