Piebald

6:45 p.m., main stage

Piebald lead singer, Travis Shettel, has a knack for lyrics, but he calls it being lucky and unlucky all at once.

"In most ways, that skill has not really paid off," Shettel said. "I'm not ungrateful, but I'm quite poor."

Shettel described the band's music and live performance as "good, happy, fast rock 'n' roll" and said the band tries to make "future music" -- that is, music ahead of its time -- and accomplishes this with interesting key changes, unconventional song structures and distinctive chord progressions.

"It's new and old and refreshing, all at the same time," he said.

The band currently travels in a van that runs on used vegetable oil, which they get from restaurants. It takes diesel fuel to start and shut down the vehicle, but everything in between runs on the oil. Shettel said, on the band's current tour, the van has traveled about 6,000 miles while spending less than $300 on fuel.

"It's better for the world," Shettel said. "It's a window that opens so many options for alternative fuels. It's a small piece of a huge iceberg that could break open a lot of things and make the world a better place."

Kidz in the Hall

5 p.m., main stage

America's got its fair share of hip hop hometowns. There's New York City, where the East Coast scene got started. There's Los Angeles, the headquarters of West Coast hip hop. Then, among others, there's the Windy City, the ATL, and New Jersey.

Wait, New Jersey?

Okay, so maybe Jersey isn't a heavyweight like the rest of the others. But it is the hometown of one-half of Kidz in the Hall, a hip hop duo that will play the main stage at Movin' On this Saturday.

The duo, which is composed of Jersey DJ Double-O and Chicago MC Naledge, has worked its way up through the hip-hop ranks since the two banded together in 2000. Now the duo will be featured on mtvU's Campus Invasion with Gym Class Heroes.

Naledge said the band's newfound success hasn't changed the duo's approach to the music.

"For me, even going to new york is a big deal, coming from the south side of Chicago," Naledge said. "All we knew was the corner, all we knew was the south side. The [record] deal gives us a new avenue for us to give our art form to the world."

Anamide

4:30 p.m., side stage

A metal band based in Baltimore, Md., Anamide's members have been involved with music for 10 years, according to the band's web site. The band will have a busy spring, scheduled for 25 dates in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia over the next two months. The band lists its sound in the style of other metal bands Tool, Mudvayne and Trapt.

Phantom Planet

10:20 p.m., main stage

The headliners of this year's festival, Phantom Planet is best known for being that band that did the theme song to The O.C. But beyond "California," the band also had a minor rock hit with "Big Brat" in 2004. The band is likely to showcase some of its new material, as it's currently working on a new album to be released in the summer. The band has listed 24 songs that are in consideration for the album, which will be the band's fourth release to date.

You, Me, and Everyone We Know

1:50 p.m., main stage

Though the name isn't identical to the 2005 Miranda July film (Me and You and Everyone We Know), the title is where the band drew its moniker.

"It's named after the movie, but we screwed it up," singer Ben Liebsch said. "We really liked the all-inclusiveness of the title. It's really whimsical. In the movie, there's a lot of random things going on, which is similar to how we came together as a band."

Liebsch said one of the band's main influences is Max Bemis brainchild Say Anything, but the fact that that band also drew its name from a movie had nothing to do with how they chose theirs.

He also said the band has "a little bit of a different idea of how we want to approach things, a little friendlier and more accessible" as compared to many of the other acts with whom they'll be sharing the stage. He said the band's driving power pop would appeal to "extremely varying tastes."

"We change genres throughout songs," Liebsch said. "And I have a Jekyll-and-Hyde approach to singing, between traditional vocals and more aggressive."

Driving East

12:30 p.m., main stage

Based just outside of Washington, D.C., Driving East will have to journey to the northwest to get to Penn State, but the late additions to the Movin' On lineup aren't worried about going unrecognized here.

"I'm not scared," drummer Jon Jester said. "It's a challenge, but we're used to people not knowing who we are."

Jester described the band's formation as "the survivors of a multi-car accident," an amalgam of members of northern Virginia bands who have progressed beyond the local scene who play poppy, aggressive and very melodic music.

Driving East is composed of six long-time musicians who have been playing their respective instruments since elementary school. The band draws influences from contemporary acts such as Fall Out Boy and The Academy Is..., but is also molded by classic rock and '80s hair metal.

Though the band is accustomed to playing indoors, Jester said the open air setting would be fun.

"If you love playing outdoors, it's a total orgasm of playing in front of people, on a stage, outside," he said.

Authority Zero

8:40 p.m., main stage

Lead singer of Authority Zero, Jason DeVore, said the band plays a show filled with sweat, heavy breathing and bruises, most of which end up on him.

"From jumping around a lot," he explained. DeVore likes to jump into the crowd during performances, and "sometimes they don't catch me."

While the crowd might not always be there for him, DeVore said he likes to make the audience a bigger part of the show, making sure his band's performance includes a lot of back-and-forth with the crowd.

DeVore said the band likes to combine a lot of styles of music "that aren't usually so popular," playing a punk-based mix up of ska, reggae and surf rock, among other things.

With more than a decade in the music industry, DeVore said he has learned just how fast music can change as far as what is popular and what is not, and it has shown him the importance of integrity.

"It's about staying true to what you've always done," he said. "Do your own thing and just keep doing it."

The No Outlet

8 p.m., side stage

One might say The No Outlet lead singer/guitarist Mark Schaffer got a head start on his career as a rock musician.

"We started as a three-piece," Schaffer said. "It was just me, the drummer and the bass player. We've been together for eight years. I was 12 when we started."

He said each of the guys in the band is self-taught, having grown up in the same neighborhood in Lansdale, Pa. The band has played dates in the Philadelphia area for the past few years, but the hundreds of people expected for Movin' On will beat any crowd they've had before.

"That's just about average for us," Schaffer said. "Just kidding."

Days Away

3:15 p.m., main stage

If you've ever listened to Days Away before, what you've heard is what you'll get from the band's live performance.

"We just go with the flow," singer and guitarist Keith Goodwin said. "Every time we play, we try to have as much fun as possible in a way that comes through in the technical aspect of the music."

He said Days Away is "the coolest band in America right now."

The band's Movin' On set won't be identical to its recorded music, though. Goodwin said the music would be a little harder and a little faster.

"We like to keep it fresh," he said. "It's more free than the album."

Days Away, from Langhorne, plays a mellowed-out mix of proggy pop punk and laid-back indie rock and a show that features various musical breaks between songs.

"We play it differently every time," Goodwin said.
