Bad Moves and Nana Grizol bring sharp, emotionally layered indie pop to the stage—Bad Moves with their third LP Wearing Out the Refrain, exploring catharsis, repetition, and fractured community through hook-laced urgency, and Nana Grizol with their introspective, horn-tinged songs blending slacker rock and psychedelic pop. Both bands channel personal and political tensions into vibrant, cathartic performances rooted in identity, place, and the complexity of collective expression.
