Phantom Planet lead singer Alex Greenwald summed up Saturday's Movin' On best when he sang "Rain down, rain down, come on rain down on me" in the band's encore cover of Radiohead's "Paranoid Android."

Despite the performances of 14 bands representing a wide range of genres, the attendance throughout the day was meager as threatening weather kept a large crowd from attending the free concert.

At its peak, the crowd reached roughly 1,000 at the beginning of Phantom Planet's set. Attendance rose for acts such as Days Away and Piebald, but during most other sets, crowds flocked in droves from the lawn like fans from Beaver Stadium after a tough loss.

Between Days Away's set at about 3:15 p.m. and Piebald's set about two hours later, there was a noticeable drop-off in the number of people on the HUB lawn. Before metal band Anamide started its set at about 4:30, the number of people watching the band dropped below 30, the lowest total since the start of the festival. Anamide was followed by hip-hop duo Kidz in the Hall, which started its set 35 minutes late, at about 5:35, after a miscommunication in scheduling.

"We allotted them 75 minutes to play, but they could only play up to 55 minutes," Movin' On Director Jameela Truman said. "That's what they stated to us."

After going on late, the duo ultimately played a 40-minute set before leaving the stage.

Aside from the weather, a poor turnout could be attributed to the crowd's dissatisfaction with this year's lineup.

"In general, people were kind of disappointed in Movin' On's lineup this year," Devan Kochersperger, a State College resident, said. "Piebald was probably the best."

Truman said she thought the show was a great success.

"The stress and tears and late nights were worth every single solitary minute," Truman said. "I couldn't have had a better crew."

Vladimir Stoicescu, a State College resident whose dance moves impressed audience members as much as the bands did, said he was satisfied with the concert.

"The organizers did a great job," he said. "The music was wonderful."

In regards to his dance moves, Stoicescu said, "It's great; I just feel it."

Phantom Planet's set, which started at about 10:30 p.m., was marked by constant requests for the band's biggest hit, "California," from members of the crowd. Greenwald acknowledged the shouts, dedicating the song -- which the band saved for last -- "to the couple people who were screaming it the whole show."

Greenwald donned a homemade glowing heart for the encore, saying he'd bought the materials earlier that day.

"Thank you, Dollar Tree," he said.

The band played on until midnight, even after Greenwald suffered an on-stage injury.

"I cut my finger and then I just went, you know, war paint style," he said afterwards, with red lines of blood beneath his eyes.
