THE THINGZ

for those who don't already know, i play in a 50's garage/punk/comedy band called THE THINGZ. we're all teachers (kim teaches 4th grade and mike--her husband--subs) which is kinda interesting. we play all over long beach, LA, and sometimes the OC. we've been written up in LA & OC WEEKLY, and the PRESS-TELEGRAM interviewed and wrote an article about us last year. we've done some touring along the west coast and in and around the southwest. we recently recorded and released surf & turf (a 7", although not a 45rpm--it's a 331/3 rpm) and have been playing shows to promote it.

but what does this have to do with school?

two thingz:

• we just wrote a song called "recess" which contains the lyric "yard duty now for the future." (shameful plug, i know)

• THE THINGZ may play a few songs at whittier's 2nd annual talent show this month! (what better place to play "recess?")
