this is such a great band. i just loved them . they are my favorite of all the new bands. I think that maybe Yardbirds were the best band of the 1960 and they are redoing their music..
O, Katrina! Why you gotta be mean? You saw a highway down in New Orleans I can't believe what I saw on the telescreen O, Katrina! Why could you be so mean? O, Katrina! (O, Katrina!) O, Katrina! (O, Katrina!) O, Katrina! (O, Katrina!) Why you gotta be mean (O, Katrina!) Why you gotta be... O, Katrina! Why you gotta be mean? You saw a highway down in New Orleans I can't believe what I saw on the telescreen O, Katrina! Why could you be so mean? O, Katrina! (O, Katrina!) O, Katrina! (O, Katrina!) O, Katrina! (O, Katrina!)

@ItsNotJackieChan So basically, anyone who is having fun in an unconventional way is to you, a hipster? isn't it possible that people are genuinely being weird and exploring boundaries and not doing it just to look and feel cool? there are real, genuine people out there, you know. not everyone is full of shit.. you should give people the benefit of the doubt.
I was in the music shop the other day and this song came on. I never heard it before but I loved it because the name of my first crush was Katrina, and let's just say, she lead me to write my first anger song... bitch. I'd like to thank her for inspiring me though. Katrina, if you are reading this, thank you very much!
@MilliePat...you clearly don't know this group very well...or why they do what they do. This song illustrates the chaos caused by Katrina. FYI the drummer sang with the Atlanta Boy Choir and performed by invitation in a special choir led by Maureen Dao at Spivey Hall. He also played the lead character in Oliver. There is your seriously good vocalist. Oh, one more thing, he plays keyboard too. Look for their new album coming out in April 2011.
By your logic, any band that played rudimentary guitar music that did not release a major record was "punk," and that's horseshit. There was no and is no "60s punk" genre. That's nothing but hindsight and revisionism. Certainly bands that existed in the 60s and even 50s informed what we now think of as punk, but an australopithecus is not a human, nor were garage bands in the early days of rock and roll punk.
I just go their record 2000million or whatever it is. Then right after that I listened to the Animals retrospective. Nice juxtaposition on my .part and I must say that the Animals blow these fools away. However, if they go back to college and learn their ABC's then maybe they will put out some relevenat something. They do have potential.....but they seem to be lazy drunkards.
There isn't. Anything you deem to be "60s punk" is revisionism. In the 60s, there was no DIY ethic, because it just wasn't possible. No home recording, no "alternative" venues; just the major labels and concert promoters. That's the reason that "punk" came into being in the 70s, as a reaction to the controls of the promoters and record labels. Do some homework, junior.
Yea. I'd like to hear what KoenHead has to say. I laughed when i read "Say what you want about them, it's still great to see bands who want to prove that ROCK isn't dead." - KoenHead hahahahah you think they're proving rock ISN'T dead? i'm not laughing because i think this horrible rock music or anything, i like this band a lot. but i strongly disagree
oh, my friend,look at the video - don't you think it's kinda' resembling to 2004 "reptilia" - not the beat, for God's sake, that's like comparing phillip glass to "glass houses" tip: you're not as karfty as you think...keep it to your cat an friends...if you have at least a real one
excuse me... the "music industry"? would you care to clarify? cause last time i checked vice records wasn't moving millions of records. the "industry" moved on to bigger and better things like hilary duff a loooong time ago - go catch up with them and get a clue while you're at it.
@danielhl22 Yep, man, they're sound like a really, really bad Herman Hermits minus the good voices, they seriously need a good vocalist, they don't even harmonized with each other. Wouldn't hurt to add a good blues guitar and keyboard to the mix.
@iamthegirlfriend I know, what I don't understand is that people don't think the Strokes are a hipster band. They are the hipsters. These guys are just the dirty rock n' roll people that are not popular at all.
Ever considered that perhapse they are parodying the strokes video... not everything is a rip off, strokes take themselves too seriously in that video.. this is 200 million thousand cooler than the strokes.
THOSE ARE THE SONS OF "LOS SAICOS" A PERUVIAN BAND sound kind of the same with the difference that "los saicos" did this at least 45 years before this guys and Im sure before any american band.
This band isn't bad, but it seems they have a legion of teenage fans that think they're rewriting the history of rock and roll or something. Calm down, children. It's just a roots-rock band, nothing new.
All their stuff sounds like the same beat, who is this group knows how to play their instruments? Geez, get some guitar lessons or at least someone who can lead a song with a voice.
If your closest musical reference to this is The Strokes, you need to go listen to more rekkids before talking publicly about music again. No need to thank me, just pay it forward.
I am laughing not because of the Hanson comment, but because you must be about the same age as I am (but divorced) and you are watching the fucking Black Lipz!!! Hahahaha
so stupid that people think they suck bow after Scott pilgrim..all it was was the bass part being played a little in the background..not even memorable
I like garage rock bands that cannot play their instruments. that's what rock n roll was and should be about
I love this 60s garage revival band
This vid is the dirty version of Strokes's Reptilia.
Love it.
Wtf, are you crazy ? Excuse me but really ? These bands doesn't have anything in common...
My favorite hurricane song for ever.
better than Dylan's?
wish this was uploaded with a higher resolution, I really want a better screen cap of Cole licking the guitar!!
I wonder how many people dont realixe theyre talking about the hurricane.
zero? maybe some space aliens, or someone who's been cryogenically frozen since 2003?
I knew a girl named Katrina and she was from florda. That through me for a quick loop
yeah sorta
why am I just seeing this now god 😂 awesome some though
+Katrina Arellano why are you so mean in orleans on the t.v?
Scott Pilgrim will open up people's eyes to the Black Lips. If only enough people saw the movie.
Boomers be like “yeah anything past the 80s or 90s is trash” like bruh have you even heard of the garage scene?
Has it been 9 years? Damn...
Has it been 11 years? Damn...
@@evanm5256 yes
My named Katrina.. xD
I love this song. ahaha
Scott Pilgrim, anyone?
this is such a great band. i just loved them . they are my favorite of all the new bands. I think that maybe Yardbirds were the best band of the 1960 and they are redoing their music..
Should we all be glad Scott Pilgrim brought us here? 😁
yes we should
How are we supposed to follow this?
We're never going to play the Chaos Theatre
Amazing song, indeed. And what a great Liveband they are. Caught them live at the Magic Stick in Detroit. amazing show
Always a bit of a shock to see Ian without his sunglasses haha
reat new tunes!!
Call the shots tonight and Lizzard Dreams..
Mattias Karpov @ myspace

@lkjhgfdsa123able this is better than the strokes and cooler than cocaine in the 70s
I thank Scott Pilgrim for acquainting me to this fantastic band. Who the fuck said garage punk was dead?
I love this song, even though my name is Katrina and it's talking about the hurricaine. durr hurr.
this song is about me...okay maybe not. but it's my name.
my name is katrina:D
i love them, I want to see them in a spanish's concert, but i don't konw when

Romero brito? (só brs entenderão)
Lou607 MENESES SHDHHSHDUAHDUWNS
As someone who lost a home, a community and a way of life to this storm, this personification really makes me smile...like this ------> :-D

Was this part of the Scott Pilgrim soundtrack?
Love the shots of Joe screaming! ha ha!
Fun fact, this place is a toilet
got damn what a good image! shakeing their heads and everything
A song with my name in it! woo hoo!

this video needs more jumping
It's the same as with Nirvana 15 years ago...
They're putting the musicworld upside down
I LOVE 'EM!!
Huge !
but it sounds sooo much better than that polished product the strokes put out. That and it has soul.
bahaha! my name is Katrina...this is so weird! i have so many songs...lol

Not even a million views yet? Society is doomed. Wtf man?

nah heroin is the coolestest

wutever even if it is it's not like the strokes write their own damn song. they'll go so low to steal bass lines from the blue brothers themes
@1:00 He uses mannequin hands as drumsticks HA!
@laker2125
It's impossible to make anyone who's watching this video mad at your comment, FYI. The trippiness cancels out trolling. : )
lol yeah, but i think my sister posted that. funny! she was more then likly syked that there was a song with her name in it! she's 10
@TheBlackSethCohen hahaha i suppose. i just really wanna get out of this damned town, and black lips show that it can happen
@bakersakter lol you just sound like one of those anti success fans who doesn't like to see your favorite bands make money.
For some reason, I think Joe looks like Leonard nimoy in this. If Leonard nimoy were tripped out and extra awesome.
@GamePreorders sorry, but i'm definitely ganking that statement from you for future use. Lots of times probably.
@criodain77 Maybe they're just normal moustaches, cause, you know, some people just enjoy having facial hair?
great band, great song. black lips is great.
do you know what kind of distorsor used the second guitarist in this song? the sound is very groovie!
lol is tht a joke?? haha listen to bad kids dude its by em they aint hipsters man i promise u tht
@baldassaredegenes I think cocain was coolest in the 80s. At least that's true for the US.
Relax. Comparisons piss people off. I compare and contrast many bands. It's natural.
I find the close ups of so many dirty indie-'taches in this video extremely disquieting.
i disagree wit you . the blacks are fun and great. Navajo is great.. so is cold hands
i saw these guys a few years ago, i think they were called violent femmes or something
I KILLED MEGAMAN
because he wasn't happy with the live performances of the Black Lips.
i don't think hipsters could play 12 shows in 3 days. MGMT can barely play one hour.
No, they're the past. You just think they're the future because you're a child.
there was punk in the 60s and if you don't know about them you are a stooge ;P
but they were such a fun band to watch.. we all have opionions and assholes.
39 people were Katrina victims... Wait, that's not very funny at all, is it?
People probably avoid mentioning it for fear of you telling that anecdote.
My favorite Black Lips song on my favorite Black Lips album!
This ones ok but i think nothing at all and slime and oxygen are the best.
greatest band of all time.
hope they dont end up on mtv though.
sexy bass
@j2o2s2h222 They have...and Scotty Pilgrim didn't need to show 'em
ripoff*
cool
wayyyyyyyyyyyy better than the strokes. The Black Lips Rule
Alright... don't let it happen again!
***Just Kidding :) ***
Italian?
violent femmes are they??i thought violent femmes were old!!
The greatest rock and roll band on the planet! Such a fun video, thanks!
