The Thingz
Back in the late 1970's a band ruled the land of West Kirby In Merseyside, Liverpool. This band was called The Thingz, Look closely at the person at the bottom left of the picture, who do you see? its me!... wrong! it is not me, its my dad looking very much like me, he used to play drums for this band, and the only things he has to remember them by is this newspaper cutting and two songs on cassette, I have now recorded these songs and converted them to mp3 so that all can listen to them.Here are two of their songs listen to them!...
The Thingz - Dressed To Kill
The Thingz - Tin Soldier
The songs are under all the copyright laws so dont u dare use them for summat that you shudn't :)
I would apreciate it if everyone let us know what they thought honestly so my dad could see how well he would do in this day and age.
Comment! or else...

I will never forget my teenage years growing up with this band since most of them were my friends. Listening to the music brought back some very happy memories and a lot of laughs with Will and John.

Those songs sound so old they're modern! Kaiser Chiefs spring to mind. I'll bet those n00by Kaiser Chiefs weren't even born back then before electricity was invented. I wonder if he can remember the beat and words exactly...
