"It was a little nerve wracking, but it was exciting," Anya Marina said about seeing her song Satellite Heart in the movie the night before. "It's in the scene where Edward is driving Bella home and they're sort of listening to me on the radio, which was a trip."
Band of Skulls, who opened the concert and performed their song Friends, admitted it was the first time they played the song live. "I think it's the motorbike scene, I just found that out yesterday," Russell Marsden told RadarOnline.com. Fans are disappointed Rob won't be singing on the New Moon soundtrack but the band said they'd be happy to have their fellow Brit play with them. "He's quite the musician isn't he?" Russell Mardsen said.

After Death Cab for Cutie performed Meet Me on the Equinox Rob Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart arrived on stage.

"Please give it up for Death Cab for Cutie and all the rest of the bands who made the New Moon soundtrack so cool," she told the roaring crowd.
