The Thingies

For many years now the legend of The Thingies has been cloaked in obscurity. Record collectors would find a release on Casino Records called "It's a Long Way Down" and figure the band was from Kansas. They were. Then up pops a single release on the Sonobeat label of Austin, Texas and sure enough it's by a band called The Thingies. People who lived in Miami in the summer of love recall a fantastic group with a far out light show called The Thingies.
