The Thingies were a band shrouded in mystery for many years. Their music was discovered by record collectors through a release on Casino Records titled "It's a Long Way Down," leading many to believe they originated from Kansas. However, they also had a single released on the Sonobeat label in Austin, Texas, further complicating their origins. Additionally, those who experienced the summer of love in Miami remember The Thingies as a fantastic group known for their impressive light shows. Despite being a singular entity, The Thingies were a band that managed to navigate various scenes. Unfortunately, they faced challenges with management in Austin, which hindered their potential to become a prominent group in San Francisco, comparable to The Jefferson Airplane. The story of The Thingies serves as a reminder of the complexities and misfortunes that defined the music scene of the 1960s.
