Hot Off The Press!


Thanks to multi-talented artist Julie Green for featuring The Thingz in her awesome blog, Patterns and Tones.

Julie asked us to perform a song acoustically inside a West Hollywood dry cleaning establishment a few Saturdays ago.  (I can only imagine how much hotter it would have been on a weekday, with the presses on...)

She also took these fun shots of us posed around the machines.

You can watch us perform a minimalist version of "Trouble" off our forthcoming LP, Troubles Begin, here.

30 Years of Purple Rain

Here's a cool Vibe article about Susan Rogers, the woman who helped record Purple Rain and was Prince's personal studio engineer from 1983 to 1988.

As the author of the article mentions, some of her stories could easily have been Chappelle's Show sketches!

Maybe for Season 4? ;)
