Winners chosen to play with Phantom Planet

Collegian Staff Writers

The five winners of this year's Movin' On Battle of the Bands were chosen Friday night and will play the side stage at the free concert on April 28.

Jam band Lemonsoul led the board, followed by trash can percussion group Lidz, punk-poppers Hopes High and Someone Say Something, and instrumental fusion band The Man. The results were based on 518 total votes by the crowd in addition to a panel's judgment of the bands' stage presence, song quality, band cohesiveness, and crowd reaction. The bands will share the side stage at Movin' On with out-of-town bands The No Outlet and Anamide.

Dan Vidmar, lead singer of Lemonsoul, said he was "pleasantly surprised" the band won, remaining skeptical until the results were announced.

"We just came out and had fun," Vidmar said. "We got a lot of local support. I think we got a lot of people that have known us for years here."
