On the Verge of Something: Listen to Bad Moves' Debut EP

We're premiering the debut EP from the pop-punk quartet that features members of The Max Levine Ensemble, Hemlines, and Art Sorority For Girls.

New record is mixed and mastered! More information coming soon!

[highdivetheband]

Our record is now available in just about any format you desire (except CD…).  Download it from Bandcamp, buy it on vinyl from Salinas Records (US) or Yo-Yo Records (DE), or buy it on cassette from Analog for Dogs or Get Better Records.  So many choices!

We were hoping to play some shows next month, but unfortunately we are not going to be able to due mostly to not being able to leave our jobs right now and to Ginger’s partner, Chris, getting hit by a car and breaking his leg.  Instead, Toby is going to play some solo shows in December with Nana Grizol, so you can buy a copy of the record at any of those shows.

In other related news, you should check out Ginger’s new podcast, Friday Night Death Slot, that she co-hosts with Chris Butcher (the aforementioned leg breaker), go to a show at the new DIY space that Nick is a member of (The Void), or buy some books from Richard’s small press, Monster House Press.  We are all keeping very busy, but hoping to do another tour before winter is over.  If you have a suggestion of where you might like to see us play, please e-mail us at bloomingtonhighdive(at)gmail(dot)com.

Here are the dates for Toby’s tour with Nana Grizol: 12/11 - Claremont, CA @ Pitzer College (early show) 12/11 - Los Angeles, CA @ The Smell (late show) 12/12 - Pomona, CA @ VLHS 12/14 - La Jolla, CA @ Che Cafe 12/15 - Phoenix, AZ @ Trunk Space 12/16 - Las Cruces, NM @ Hansen Mansion 12/17 - Austin, TX @ Cheer Up Charlie’s 12/18 - New Orleans, LA @ Siberia 12/19 - Tallahassee, FL @ The Shark Tank 12/20 - Savannah, GA @ Sulfur Studios 12/21 - Atlanta, GA @ The Masquerade 12/22 - Athens, GA @ The 40 Watt
