No news is good news eh?

Boggis has contacted Skurvy in the nope of securing a recording date for the next album.

There may be pre release material for Boggis to make up lyrics to, but that may be a rumor.

There also maybe a Bar-B-Q @ Boggis mansions on the weekend after Summer Solstice.

There is a possibility that a live date for Mcthing has been arranged in July. This will only be four years out of schedule. More news soon!

Some recent photos from yesterdays march in London have been added. Where were you?

26/02/06

Such a shame Wales lost but at least it was to the Irish!!! Boggis should get his box of 22 antique poetry books tomorrow so we will not get a word ouot of him for ages, he'll be locked in the loo!

14/02/06

Boggis is in love! A dozen roses he got from his lovely wife Teresa.

That is all.

11/02/06

Boggis digs! Yes that's correct. No news may be good news but not in the case of mcthing. Living in seperate parts of the country is difficult. Rarely can we get together to record anything. Towards the summer we will be getting together to finish off the next album so look out for more stuff.

Guppy loves Bogies, the truth!

11/07/07

Boggis leaves McThing. "I can't be arsed to hang around with that toerag Skud any longer, he smells like rotting fish", comments Boggis, " I can no longer hide the fact that I need to persue my love of classical music". Boggis has apparently enroled in the Vienna school of music but Skud says, " He had to leave, he couldn't cope with all that mental illness, he'll do alright just as long as he remains in his straight jacket".

More comments from other members as soon as they email them to the webmaster.

03/07/02

Rumour has it that just weeks after the second album been completed, McThing are threatening a possible third album. These guys (and gals) just don't know when to stop.

The pressing has been delayed until some of our outstanding debts have been paid off. Time for Tingle to start pimping his ass again...

More songs have been recorded for the second album, incorporating new sounds into the diverse palette. We'll hopefully put some sound files of the raging self titled track McThing, a short, sharp blast of black metal. We're off to go burn some churches.

05/03/02
