Five student-led bands were chosen as winners of Friday night's Movin' On Battle of the Bands, earning a spot in the annual free concert headlined this year by Phantom Planet.

Jam band Lemonsoul led the board, followed by trashcan 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. Originally, one winner of the contest was to play the main stage with Phantom Planet until another act, power-pop band Driving East, was added to the lineup, said Movin' On Director Jameela Truman.

Also, only four bands were to be selected for the concert, but after a three-way tie for third place, the committee decided to accept an extra band, committee member Liz Rowe said.

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

"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."

Lemonsoul, a six-piece jam band, started off its set as a five-piece until saxophone player Greg Johnson hustled from an earlier show at The State Theatre to join in a few minutes into the first song.

The band benefited from the most audience support, as the audience gathered in front of the stage for the first time of the night. After the band finished its 20-minute set at 11 p.m., the crowd dwindled as the contest went on.

The Man, a returning champion of the Battle, will play Movin' On for the second year in a row. Bassist Ben Rothbart said the festival will be a big event for the band.

"It's bigger than when the Stones opened for us in '74," Rothbart said jokingly. "It was definitely a disadvantage to play first, but I'm glad things worked for us."

Rothbart was pleased by the overall selection of bands as well.

"It's cool when the bands aside from pop-punk bands get in," he said. "It's cool that bands that aren't following popular trends are able to thrive."

Tim Sussman, lead singer of Someone Say Something, said he was "shocked" about his band's victory.

"We just showed up like, 10 minutes ago," Sussman said. "I can't believe it."

Adam Burget, one of the four percussionists of Lidz, said winning gave his band more of a sense of relief than anything.

"We put in a lot of work," Burget said. "It feels great."
