Default are there any "fun" bands still around?

I'm talking in the They Might Be Giants, Atom and His Package, Camper Van Beethoven mold. it seems everyone's so darn serious these days. I think that if I had a band, I'd be just having a blast on stage and stuff. so, any recommendations? not necessarily "funNY" stuff, but stuff that is a little lighter in content.

I've always found Muse fun...... and The Darkness, but they're not everybody's cup of tea. Watching that Darkness DVD I had was the most fun I've had watching a music DVD probably ever though.

why is that funny? polyphonic spree put on an amazing live show. have you seen them perform live? i can't think of many people that perform with the same intensity as tim delaughter.

+ they seem to get an immense amount of pleasure out of performing which is nice to see these days. they're not a group of pretentious "too cool to have a good time on stage" twats.

CVB still tours. i read they're touring with built to spill soon.
i'm pretty sure TMBG still tours too.

i don't know about them making new music, though.

Sparks are still around. new album looking good. Art Brut, if your cup of tea, are very fun. there's a dude named David Wrench who is tall albino with Jarvis Cocker-like wit. he's fun.

qotsa have their moments. find "broken box", "quick and to the pointless", or "you've got a killer scene there, man".
