Kip Tyler and the Flips

Kip Tyler and the Flips were an American rock and roll band best known for recording "Jungle Hop."

Beginnings

The group started in Los Angeles, California in 1957, right after Kip Tyler was no longer used for the band, that produced the songs in a connection to "Rock, Pretty Baby", Jimmy Daley and The Ding-a-Lings.

Success

Their first record was "Lets Monkey Around" (b/c "Vagabond Mama"); recorded at Starla Records. The group recorded at Challenge Records and found more success from their singles produced there. In early 1958, Challenge released their first hit "Jungle Hop."

Ebb Records

Later in 1958, they recorded at Ebb Records with another single: "She's My Witch" (b/c "Rumble Rock"), which was also successful. In 1959, they recorded another one there called "Oh Linda" (b/c "Hali-Lou"), which was their last record together.

Band members

Some noteworthy members joined this band, including Sandy Nelson and future Wrecking Crew members Larry Knechtel of Bread and guitarist Mike Deasy.[1][2]
