Moving Units Biography
Los Angeles' post-punk revivalists the Moving Units feature Blake Miller, Johan Bogeli, and Chris Hathwell, formerly of the hardcore band Festival of Dead Deer. The group formed in late 2001, shortly after Festival of Dead Deer broke up, and began writing and gigging, with dates at festivals like This Ain't No Picnic earning them wider attention even before they had any releases. The Moving Units signed to Festival of Dead Deer's former label Three One G and issued their self-titled debut EP in fall 2002; subsequently they moved to Palm, who reissued Moving Units in early 2003. In fall 2004, the band's full-length debut Dangerous Dreams arrived. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
