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, 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!!!
Movements gives such a great performance every single time I see them. High energy until the very end. Amazing show
Great concert!! Movements and preshow bands were amazing! Great venue and venue staff!!! Will come again many times over!!!
Loved every second of it. The band slapped live, sounded just like the record. These guys are two talented and I can’t wait to see them again!
It's impossible to express the extent of my love for Movements. Seeing them perform live after years of waiting was truly a high light in my life, and I was filled with an inexplicable sense of euphoria after their show. My entire body was buzzing with joy.
Love this band so much! They’re always amazing in concert!
Amazing show. They’re even better live! The time between sets was short. When they finally got on stage everyone around me were singing along!
Every movements show I have ever been to has been such an incredibly memorable experience, I love this band more than words can explain and something about their shows feels euphoric and homey.
Such an amazing band! Got to see them for the 3rd time & they NEVER disappoint. Their setlist on this tour is AMAZING!! They have the perfect mixture
Movements is one of the best bands to see live! This is my second time seeing them and i’m already looking forward to the third. :)
From entry to the show tbh e experience was all around great.
I never thought a band could sound better than their albums...but Patrick's voice proved me wrong. His voice has grown and is so powerful. They all sound incredible live and I will definitely be catching them again the next time they are in town. The crows was electric and so was the band. If movements is in your town don't miss them!
First off, the venue was amazing! Second, staff were very kind and helpful and Movements…performance was so perfect!
I bought GA tickets, but Wiltern security was very strict about capacity limits and did not let people stand in designated general admission areas even though we paid for the tickets. The show was very fun though
Movements Rule! My group of 4 loved the whole show and overall we had a blast! Cheers!!!!!
I’m a huge movements fan and this was my first time seeing them preform live and it was amazing, I was blown away by the talent but also, by the venue itself. The Wiltern is beautiful.
