Bluegrass Radiohead?

Watch Chris Thile from Punch Brothers cover Radiohead's "Faust Arp" below.

I personally would never have thought of playing that riff on a mandolin, but it really seems to work!

Punch Brothers released what's easily one of the most overlooked records of 2008, the fantastic Punch. They aren't your typical bluegrass band, since most of the album is comprised of a four-movement, classically influenced mandolin suite by Thile. You can hear some of their songs on their MySpace page.
