Four play

WAIT FOR IT If you want to get a view like this of Radiohead at Lolla, the rest of your music choices have been made for you.

Holy Fuck
12:15–1:15pm
Like Kraftwerk picking up a six-pack and covering Black Flag, this Toronto quintet tears through “live electronica” with two drummers, two keyboardists and a bassist. It’s a good bet Yorke will be watching alongside you.

Yeasayer
2:15–3:15pm
Of all the bands gracing the AT&T stage this afternoon, none emulate Radiohead’s postmodern aesthetic better than this brilliant four-piece. That’s not to say they sound alike—these Brooklynites rely more on folk and Middle Eastern influences, with a sly nod to ’80s new wave smoothing out any rough edges.

Gogol Bordello
4:15–5:15pm
If we’ve learned anything from the fall of the Iron Curtain, it’s that no one can prevent the fusion of accordions and electric guitar. Happily, gypsy punk and alternative art rock turn out to be a fine mash-up. Besides, even Radiohead fans are likely to find frontman Eugene Hütz’s overblown stage antics entertaining enough to pass the time. Imagine Borat fronting a Balkan Pogues.

Bloc Party
6:15–7:15pm
The London quartet shares many of Radiohead’s influences—Magazine, the Pixies, Joy Division—but with far more caffeinated, punky results. Kele Okereke’s arch, melancholic lyrics and feints toward electronica smack of Radiohead aping, but when it sticks to anthemic choruses, as on “I Still Remember,” Bloc Party evokes the Radiohead of yore, circa 1995.
