California post-hardcore band Movements played The National in Richmond on Friday, October 30, as part of their Happier Now USA Tour. Pennsylvania’s Balance and Composure, Midrift, and Niis were also on the bill. The tour supports Happier Now, Movements’ fourth album, released in September. Movements formed in Rancho Santa Margarita, California, in 2015 and built their following on the albums Feel Something, No Good Left to Give, and Ruckus!.
