Moving Mountains have been quiet since their fall tour with Thrice finished up, but it looks like the band is filming a new music video today. Check out a tweet and a picture from the band below by clicking “Read More.”
From Mitchell Lee:
Our tour with O’Brother, La Dispute, Thrice, and the dudes from Invisible Children is over. Without getting overly sappy or cheesy, I’ll just say that this tour has been one of the greatest experiences we’ve ever had as a band. We’ve had a ton of fun just hanging out and playing music but we also got pretty deep at times talking about music, touring, life, families, relationships, happiness, careers, and faith. Traveling the country with these guys has been an inspiration.
Here are some tour highlights:
-Dojo Gelato in Cincinnati makes some scrumptious Sriracha/peanut butter gelato. This flavor was custom made for O’Brother and given to the whole tour.
-We finally got to see Wrigley Stadium in Chicago and play the Metro.
-Sauget, IL must be the strip club capital of the world. There were 3 clubs and an OTB within walking distance of the venue.
-Everybody on the tour dressed up in costume for Halloween in Denver.
-The Invisible Children dudes were a Juggalo and some sort of weird Fu Manchu coconut bra wearing thing.
-Greg, Josh, and I were demons while Nick was a Werewolf.
-O’Brother were Prisoners.
-La Dispute were Cops (Vass wore a woman’s adult “naughty officer” costume complete with miniskirt while Jordan wore a little boy’s police costume that was skin tight and much too short).
-La Dispute’s tour and merch managers, Dave and Lazur, were Gumby and Pokey, respectively.
-Thrice were Party Animals. Think Beastie Boys’ “Fight for Your Right” music video with everybody wearing various animal masks (lion, zebra, chicken, sheep, etc.).

From Mitchell Lee:
As a band on tour, we’ve probably had to enter and exit Canada about 5 times. After all those times, we’re still not 100% sure what we have to do in order to not get sodomized by Canadian and U.S. customs agents with a baseball bat wrapped in nails and barbed wire. If you ever manage, tour manage, or play in a band and you’re trying to get into Canada without post traumatic stress disorder or dismemberment, here’s what I can tell you:
1) Everybody on the tour needs a U.S. passport or enhanced driver’s license. New York State offers enhanced driver’s licenses for getting into Canada but I’m not sure about any other states.
2) If anybody on the tour has had any previous convictions, i.e. DWI, shoplifting, etc., you’re probably best off leaving that person behind in the states. If you try to cross, Canadian customs agents will hold up your whole party to do a background check on anybody that has had any previous run-ins with the law. I’ve heard of a band having to wait for 5 hours at the border while customs agents did a background check on a crew member. Apparently he got arrested for getting into a drunken fight years ago. Even after agents do a background check on a dude, they may refuse him entry into their country anyway.
3) Dump all the drugs. This isn’t a problem for our band but it’s still a pretty interesting topic since there are plenty of other bands and people in this industry that dabble in the Devil’s lettuce or that frosty white snow. I once heard a story where customs agents found a very tiny amount of weed on a band’s bus at a border crossing. Every person on that bus was stripped searched including a female member of the crew. Apparently customs agents conduct cavity searches since drug smugglers (both male and female) are known to stash goods in various “private part” orifices.
From Mitchell Lee:
It’s always great to be back on the East Coast. Compared to the rest of the country, every major city on the East Coast is within just a couple of hours of each other. Drives are a lot easier and there’s plenty of time for bands to catch up on sleep.
NY to Philly: ~3 hours
NY to Boston: ~4 hours
NY to DC: ~4 & 1/2 hours
San Francisco to Portland: ~11 hours (woof!)The other great thing about being on the east coast is the pizza. If Mov Mou was a children’s television cartoon, we’d definitely be The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for our love of pizza (and traveling through time and parallel dimensions to fight a giant brain). Pizza’s on our band’s rider but it’s usually never worth getting when we’re outside of the NY, CT, NJ tri-state area. Chicago deep dish is alright but it’s always such a long wait. Their pizza is pretty thick and takes a while to bake.
The only thing that we don’t absolutely love about playing the East Coast is playing NYC. Despite being from NY and loving the city, playing NYC is one of the most stressful shows of any tour. Loading and parking in the streets and traffic is a nightmare (Greg and I once drove around alphabet city for 45 minutes looking for 2 parking spots next to each other for our van and trailer. We had to literally sprint back to the venue and start our set 10 minutes late). On this tour, we found parking spots 2 blocks away from Irving Plaza in under 30 minutes.
