Hi Olga just a quick question and a bit fun will the song be in the set list at the Durham gig in September???. Secondly you are right it does knack as I found out for myself at a recent gig we did at Easington WMC.Our Bass Player brought a old tin out as me and me mate are always singing it in the van on the way to gigs so foolishly I had some rubbed on me back ahhhhhhhh it is red hot.Just to let you know also MR SCOTT is fit and well and is currently looking for a new band after a recent stint with a Bon Jovi tribute band ha ha. See ya at Durham. Cheers John.

Hey John Which song you refferring to!? fiery Jack, oh, yeah, a good chance of it being in the set list! take care with that crazy stuff!
See in Durham
Olga

Hello Olga, hope you are well. Was Dougie Giro the tramp who used to live in Sunderland central bus station in the 1980's? I've always wondered if he was the inspiration for the song? Cheers, Phil.

Phil Hi Not sure if Dougy lived in the central bus station, it was around 1980/81, Hendon area, he has always remained an inspiration.
Take care
Olga

Hi, Great job!I'm 31 years old and I'm listening you since 1989 and I'm sure it never ends. Thank you!

HEY OLGA, I HAVE LOOKED ON ALL OF YOUR RELEASES LISTED ON THE WEBSITE AND CAN'T FIND A SONG I HEARD FROM YOU GUYS A LONG FRIGGIN TIME AGO, I DON'T KNOW THE NAME EXACTLY BUT THERE WAS A LINE IN IT THAT WENT SOMETHING LIKE THIS...IS HE REAL, I DON'T KNOW, I THINK HIS NAME IS BARRY MANILOW. CAN YOU HELP ME OUT OR MAYBE POST THE MP3 ON THE SITE. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT. YOU GUYS RULE. MARC

Hey Marc Yeah, the song is I THINK THEY CALL IT BARRY MANILOW, not the best song I have written! it was never released, only played live, its on You tube somewhere, an old recording from a Los Angeles show.
Good luck
Olga

I love you too much cause your music it makes me smile,happy and brings me lust to the life again,in a while,when I've got depressive mood!!! I'm very enjoying for your show in RfP!!!

Tonci

Tonci Hi The pics are soooo difficult to make! I do have one spare only! So SPLIT didnt happen, we were so looking forward to it. hopefully we can get there with a different promoter at a later date.
Take care
Olga

Hi Olga! Just few pics taken with my phone, not extra quality, but here for the fun and the pleasure to hear you performing live. I hope we will see your blue suede shoes again soon, greetings from Blaye les Mines..!

Hey, cheers for the wine link! and the pics! I may wear the blue suede shoes again, they aint easy to walk in!!
Cheers
Olga

Hi Olga! Ola from Sweden writing! Would like to know how often you've used session musisians for your albums. (It says so in the book) For albums like Far out disc, Idle gossip and a lot of singles, no members were ever listed on the sleeves. Like the case with "Treasured Toy." Were there more than a three-piece band after Dig That Groove Baby during the recordings? Cheers and thanks

Occasionally we have had guests on albums, especially backing singers, too many to remember everyone! we were always a 3 piece for recordings though, Dig that Groove also featured guests!
take care
olga

Hello Olga! I'm interesting about your show in Croatia. There was an information about your concert in Croatia, in Split, 14.07.2007., but it doesn't exist anymore. Are you planning to come to Croatia this year? Please please please come!!!! I really hope that it's mistake and that you will come! Sincerely yours, Renata

Renata Yes, Spilt was planned for 14th July, but unfortunately the promoter cancelled the show, we were really upset about it, hopefully we can get there soon.
Until then, take care
olga

where can i get hold of your recording of toccata (asides at the beginning and end of how to play it!)cheers, dom

Hi Dom You can find Toccata on ABSURD DITTIES album, availavble through Captain Oi.
Olga

Whats going on Olga man? Two things. (1) Do you plan on comin to the USA at all(if so anywhere in midwest)? Do you use any effect pedals for your songs? Take care of yourself Phil

Hey Phil Yes, we will get back to the USA eventually! No pedals on the songs, i sometimes usea tubescreamer at the ends of songs for feedback however.
Cheers
Olga

hello fella, i've just been introduced to your fantastic music, i love it!!! comming to see you in Durham in September, can you tell me what any discerning Dolls fan should be wearing. Regards Owen.

Olga

Hi Olga!!I'm Stefano I'm italian!will you come back in Italy?

I hope soon, we have never done so many shows in Italy, but each time has been fantastic! we will be back! Great people & great food!
Take care
Olga

This is Veky,again,so,you are not coming to Split,are you?You are great bend, but you have made me a bit angry and sad...Why didn't you first find a location and then,if it was good enough,say that you are coming???But,if the (good)bends from our country are never playing here,why would you?Maybe one day...

Hi Veky We were so upset that the Split show didnt happen, we were really looking forward to it, then suddenly the promoter/agent cancelled the gig, I dont know the full reason. However, we will be trying to arrange a show for the future. Hope to see you there.
Take care
Olga

Hello Olga, im a great fan of toy dolls, i listen the band 13 years old, today 33 years old, my question is. why in the album "orquestrated" toy dolls is writing con font "Z" example: "toy dollz" thank you very much for answer my question Pulga.

Good question Pulga, the Z was a mad idea, we felt like a change, so radical eh!? it was a mistake for sure!.
Take care
Olga

What guitar pedal did you use at all your songs? Its some kind of overdrive, yes? can you say for me the firm and name of that pedal, please :) thanx Banana

Hey Banana, No pedals on the songs, just the amp turned up! however, there is an Ibanez tube screamer from time to time, for the feedback at the ends of songs.
Cheers
Olga

Hey Olga, I was wondering when you guys will play in Ios Angeles again? Ive waited a long time to see you guys here in LA. Any chance of a show? -Max

Hey Max We have had loads of great shows in LA, we will get back eventually, been soooo long!
Olga

In October 8th 2006 you published in the The Toy Dolls page a sketch that I had made and sent to you. I was very happy whem I saw it and started to make a final drawing to send it to you as gratitude. Today I am sending the final drawing that I finished a few days ago. I hope you like it, and thank you very much for recognizing my work. I'm a great fan of The Toy Dolls for many years and one of the best gifts I received was to see my work recognized from my idol. Hugs and success always... Priscilla Camacho

Hi Priscilla The sketch is fantastic! thank you. Its on this months update front page!
Take care
Olga

Hi Olga - I'm a former massive fan from the early eighties; went to quite a few gigs in and around the Leeds area (Brannigans, Bierkeller etc)although I'm afraid I lapsed after that.I was amazed and delighted to hear you're touring the UK again after all this time, and even more chuffed you'll be playing in my home town of York! Just wondered - I am correct in saying that you've never ever played here before? Anyway, tickets booked and really can't wait for it! Don't suppose you'll take requests, but if you do...Fiery Jack,Dig that Groove and Alfie from the Bronx please! See you September 19th at Fibbers! Cheers. Ian, York.

Hey Ian Good to hear from ya! Thats correct, never done a York gig! I guess a couple of those songs will be in the set! See ya on 19th September!
Take care
Olga

Hey Olga.I am Adam Bomb form Loveland Co. I am 13 years old. You were one of the first punk bands I have ever heard of. You should come to Loveland co. sometime. My Dad played One More Megabyte for me when I was 8years old. I played you for my cousin now you are his favorite band.

Hey Adam! Hopefully we will get to Loveland some day! Glad ya like One more Megabyte! Cheers to your cousin also!
Olga

Hi, I was a big fan of ToyDolls till yesterday, when I saw you for second time, on Rock For People, in Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic. Well concert itself was good work, but it didn't seem, that you are having fun from playing. What made me to stop adore you, was neverending story, that started just after last tones. You didn't let people ovate you and hurt them with that heavy shit. Why the hell? It completely destroys the atmostphere of concert. I undestand, that your last tour was last, but why are you doing a tour, that makes the point - it really was last tour worth seeing and now you are just moneymakers. Am I wrong? Bye David

Hi David! I am really surprised at your comments! but thank you for your opinion! we enjoyed the Rock for People festival even more than the LAST TOUR gig we done in 2004! we had great fun! THE NEVER ENDING STORY outro, means we have decided that our touring is NEVER ENDING! why should it end!? we enjoy it toooo much! The last tour had a question mark (?) we were not sure if it would be our last tour, it just depended how much we enjoyed it, and we did! much more than we ever thought! Anyway, cheers fo coming to the shows! whatever ya think! we are still enjoying every minute of it all! Hope to see ya next time!
Take care
olga

Hello Olga, thank you for your performance on Rock For People in the Czech Republic, I was in the 1.st row, as usually :-) Although I felt you all were not enjoying the gig like in the Punk Island Festival in Slovakia last year, it was still lovely to hear Camilla, Spiders, You Wont Be Merry..., Shoes and so on. A pity was that thing that you played only 65 minutes instead of 75, because you still had some time. I would like to ask you, if there is still a chance that you will be playing on this festival the next year - the bad weather cant be so bad again :-)

Hey! Thank you for coming to the show, we had a wicked time, apart from the weather, we couldnt use the backdrop, and the promoter cut our set short! Still, we hada fantastic time. Hope to see you again in Czech Republic! we will be back!
take care
Olga

Hey, Olga Soryy! Noo Questions, But I have to say thank you for the best music-experience in my life, ever. When I was 13 or 14 I got my first record from your band (guess you noticed, I`m german, don't get English realy) till then my parents went mad about your sound. Your record broke by usin to often and I forgot the Toy Dolls. BUT,(!!!!) in this month I knowed a man who's realy a speacialist in the internet, and he brought me to a shop, where I could by my favorites again "dig that groove baby" and "a far out disk". I'm 40 years old now and guess what's happened, my girlfriend went mad while she heard it, and she thought I'd gone crazy. And I thought, its ok, I feel younger than ever. I told her "this was my first concert in the Schlachthof in Bremen 1981 or ?? what ever. She didn't understood. But till then Rupert the bear and Florence (I hope she's still alive) are by my side. Thank you for this great kind of music. And please excuse moi for my bad English. I would be very thankfull (????) is that right??? For an answer, yours Schubi

Schubi Hi Thank you!!!!!!!THANK YOU! I remember the Bremen gig, I know we done it in 1985. and 2004. Great venue! Hope to see you back there in Germany.
Take care
Olga

Dear Mr Olga. I'm really happy that you're playing Sweden in August, really cool. However, being an aspiring bassist, do you think Mr Goober could be a deary and scribble down a tab for "The Death Of Barry The Roofer With Vertigo" and just toss it out on the internet for me to find? The lessons are great, but being a rather slow chap I can't keep up with it. Best regards, (fat) Bob.

Fat Bob Hi I will ask Tommy about it, though I am sure its somewhere out there on the internet now! good luck! And yeah, cant wait till the Swedish Augustibuller festival!
See ya there!
olga

Hi olga! The show must go on! The toy dolls are absolutely great! Come back to essen-germany ( zeche-carl )!!!!!!!!!

Thank you! Zeche Carl is great too! I guess we will have to return! See ya in Germany!

Hey Olga I have been a fan since 1984 and would like to know if the Toy Dolls would be coming anywhere near Utah in the future. Hey I'd settle for a Western USA tour stop...

Justin Hey, Thank you Our management are in talks most days regarding a USA tour, we will get there, really! will keep ya posted!
Olga
