 I know you sir are very
busy with the new CD and I think thats great but looking back through
the tour dates I never saw too many U.S. dates? I'm just an 18 year
old Mexi-Punk from Texas and there's few bands that I find it necessary
to see live at least once and you guys are a must. You're fun, fast
and Punk. You guys ****ing rock.
 Hey!
I keep saying it, but we will get back to the USA eventually!, we always
have a wicked time there! Bear with us!
Olga
Would it be possible to do future guitar lessons with looser trousers
on as its a tad off putting studying your playing while your meat and
two veg are painfully obvious in shot, or have your guitar lower
down. Cheers Dave Wolverhampton
Ha!
Cheers Dave, not something I have noticed! Will take note!
Cheers

Olga, I would like to know how a long time American fan like I am
can get a hold of your music as it is not available for purchase on
your website that I can find and I really would love to get some of
your classics; dig that grove baby, diedre's a slag, my wife's a psychopath,
I've got athsma, etc.. Thank you, Robyn Hastonhi!
Robyn
Hi You can get most of the albums from Captain
Oi. Good luck !
Cheers
Olga
it's Maja & Tina (we met in Croatia and Slovenia in case you
might remember :)). Why don't you make facebook profile? No one uses
myspace anymore :P. Hope you come again soon to Croatia and/or neighbour
countries. I (Maja) made a painting of you, it's in the attachment so
you can see it :). Cheers Maja & Tina
Maja
& Tina hi! Of course I remember! I hope you are both well. Thank
you for the nice painting! I will think on making a FACEBOOK page at
a later date, I know there’s an unofficial one out there. And
YES, we will be back in Croatia at some point!
Take care
Olga
Hey Olga, what album has the song "Olga I Cannot"?
I can't find it. Thank you! Lucas Eduardo
Lucas
Hello Olga I cannot is the B side of James Bond Lives down our street
(Single) A bit difficult to get now! It is also on The Toy Dolls The
History album, also not so easy to obtain! Best o’ luck!
Olga
Hey Olga I must say I'm a bit anxious about chatting to you because
I've listened to the Toy Dolls since I was 14 and I'm 34 now! My first
Toy Dolls experience was Wakey Wakey and as a learning guitarist I was
inspired by your blazing riffs! Your songs are written to relate to
people and always make me crack a smile or laugh! Over the years I've
collected more LPs, albums and CDs but it's so awesome that you've stayed
around for so many years. I wrote this to ask if you are planning a
tour to the southern hemisphere? I live in western Australia but would
happily make the trip to the East coast just to see you guys play! Thanks
and look forward to the new album. Mike D
Hi
Mike Thank you so much! Great to know we have been an inspiration! We
would love to get to Australia at some point!! Nothing planned just
yet, but lets wait n’ see!
Cheers again
Olga

my friend with the tickets never showed up!!!! (still have the damn
ticket on my wall) Hope you come back some day love the music and would
love to cross you guys off my bucket list. best wishes eric
Hey
Eric, not much of a friend eh!? We will be back.
Take care
Olga
*I have answered the following question in sections, as its sooooo
long! Olga*
1: Adulthood
is a wreck ! It had almost caused me to forget about the Toy Dolls for
the last five or ten years. The bright side of it is that, now I found
my way back to my ‘pathetic’ punk soul (thanks Schultz /
Parabellum for shooting us this salutary cover of “Dig that groove”
last week in Bergerac), I can re-discover you as frenetically as I did
the first time. Your band means much more than mere musical enjoyment
to me, it's not far from being a kind of emblem of my teenage years,
almost a whole way of thinking and considering things, that tastes of
laughter and freedom and some very selective, personal but powerful
form of respect and generosity. At least, a devouring appetite for life
and whatever is good in it. Sorry for forgetting all that ! I solemnly
swear I will never become too serious again.
Well,
welcome back to Toy Doll World! Good to have ya back, thanks Schultz!
2: I’ve
already started an intensive cure : I've been waking up howling “Glenda”
every morning for more than a week now. Unfortunately I have no neighbors
to sod, that would have added to my jubilation. Your voice and guitar
are just a thrill, the best energizers I ever knew, definitely.
Hey,
thank you! That's not what the neighbours tell me!
3: Now I
know you've started the recording of a new album, oh Olga I cannot...
wait to hear from you... OK, OK, I owe you five or ten years, I can
wait a few weeks or months longer. Meanwhile, there's something I'd
like to know : where do you take inspiration from ? I mean, I can guess
you like singing about all of us wacky people in this wacky world, but
my question concerns your lyrics and the sound of them. Is it some sort
of constraint you deliberately impose on yourself when writing ? Do
you fuel this taste for ‘snap-crackle-and-pop’ language
by reading, for example ? Poetry, perhaps ? Or do you just use words
that come spontaneously to you as musical material, no matter what the
meaning really is (which I doubt)? Besides, have you ever thought about
how difficult it is for us non-English sympathizers to understand a
single word of what you say at once, or, even when we have learned the
text by heart, to sing along with you during the gigs (and I’m
not mentioning the accent and speed) ?
We
haven’t actually started recording yet, though the album is written,
we are in rehearsals most days now. Inspiration comes from friends,
illness, girls, shopkeepers, soap operas, everywhere! I guess the lyrics
are a kind of constraint, but I would only write what I enjoy writing.
I have thought about how difficult it is for some to understand who’s
mother tongue isn’t English, in which case I do endeavour to make
the melodies as nice as possible to make up for this!
4: Second
question (or third, maybe more) : what do you think of that phrase ‘pathetic
punk’ ? I never quite understood it. Maybe the meaning is different
in French, but it sounds a bit...patronizing to me. All that people
in your songs may be burlesque, but ‘pathetic’ sounds pejorative
and condescending. I came across a site where they called you a ‘cartoon
punk’ band. Doesn’t this fit you better ?
Yeah,
I am not that keen on the phrase “Punk Pathetique” may be
coz I never quite understood it either! Cartoon punk does fit better
I guess!
My last question is not a question really, barely an alternative :
if you come and play anywhere in the south-west of France, I promise
to shower you with black truffle and red Bordeaux or Bergerac wine till
the end of your life. Otherwise... I'll kidnap Nellie the elephant.
I'm in earnest ! You don't know what a re-born punk soul is capable
of, especially a non-pathetic one.
I’m afraid my English may have been as dusty as my Oxford dictionary,
and my message far too long and full of words that don’t really
exist in English and of parenthesis that were not really necessary.
And of “and”s. Sorry for that, also. Thank you for all,
anyway, and... well, as I was born in ‘79 too, I may be too old
to ask you for adoption, and perhaps too young to ask for your hand,
neither of which I’m afraid you would really consider. Yet, if
I dared, I‘d be sincerely happy to be allowed to offer you my
biggest and kindest and most tender virtual hug. But I wouldn’t
dare, would I ?
Take care,
Estelle
Merci
Estelle! Your English is fantastic, better than mine for sure! Hug accepted!
Will look forward to the truffle and Bordeaux!
Hope to see you there
Hallo my Master!!! ?At first, sorry for my english. ?I have one
and only one question. Can i ever see you in Poland? I waiting a long,
long time, sometimes i looking "tour" on your webside and
i steel can't see "Poland" in tour dates.
I steel belive and live in hope! ?Thank you in advance for your reply.
Your fan from Poland ?CIBOR
Hi
Cibor I would love to see Poland back on the tour dates, its been a
long time, and we had great time there many moons ago, I really hope
it will happen.
Olga
Hello! Love the Toy Dolls! My question is, do you like football?
And if so, which time do you support? Scott, Newcastle
Yo
Scott from Newcastle, I have started to get into football a little more
recently, no favourite team as such, but I enjoy a good match, mainly
when the World Cup is on, when I avoid watching England!
Cheers Olga
