More Flower Punk/Black Lips-like bands?

[kaki]

Hey y'all. I recently started getting into the Black Lips a lot and was wondering if any of you fine folks knew of more bands with a similar happy-go-lucky, hand-clapping vibe? I especially dig bands that dip between multiple genres, or are sorta uncategorizable.

ie, more stuff like this:

[Sean G.]

Stop me if you've heard these:

Almighty Defenders: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAg4kN5pi3U

King Khan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxDlcIjfpvY

Mujeres: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iT5ZMIrCBQU&feature=related

That's off the top of my head... I do a Garage, Surf, and Lofi show but Black Lips are pretty unique not sure if there's much that's real similar to them.

I've listened to Almighty Defenders and King Khan, they're both great.

I hadn't heard Mujeres before though, that's exactly like what I was looking for. Thanks a bunch!! :D

Try to listening Death By Unga Bunga... maybe you like them. This is young rock combo from Norway that plays a mixture of punk, garage, soul, power pop and surf!

I'd say that the Strange Boys are one of the top bands with the same kinda vibe as Black Lips.  Plus, maybe it was a bad night for Black Lips when I saw them live (in Bristol, England) around 4 or 5 years ago, whereas Strange Boys totally rocked.

DMZ/ Lyers, Clone Defects, A-Bones, Billy Childish, Fe Fi Fo Fums, Fells, Flamin' Groovies... 

Look at BOMP!'s (the label who signed the Black Lips) back catalog.

[Mats Jansson]

try "Acid baby Jesus" or maby go back a few years to "Jacques Dutronc".
