Hi Olga, My name is Andrey,
I am writing you from Siberia (Tomsk). Nice to hear that you are working
on a new album. I believe it will be as great as previous ones, or even
better. I would like to ask about a song "My girlfriend dad is
a vicar". Is this tune completely yours or you borrowed some well-known
melody? I am asking it because I have heard the same melody in the Business's
song "Southgate (Euro 96)" from "Hardcore Hooligan"
album - they are chanting the same tune with different lyrics in the
end of the song. That's why I decided that it may be a reference to
some popular English melody. If so, which one is it? Also, after I mentioned
the new album, I got another question - any plans to include some old
song into it, like you did with "Yul Brinner is a Skinhead"?
Best regards, Andrey
Andrey
hi Hi to Siberia! Thank you! Ha, good question, part of the tune is
from a really old hymn called Lord of the Dance! Well spotted! Not sure
about the album just yet, gonna wait till its all written then take
a look at it! Cheers
Olga
Hey Olga, How are you and
hope you and your mates are doing fine. First of all, we’re
(my wife and both little girls) are very big fan of the Toy Dolls and
wondering when are you coming to Los Angeles . Both of my little girls
want to see the Toy Dolls play, ever since I mentioned that I saw you
at Hollywood and in Las Vegas and how fun it is at your show. Now they
want to experience it and they’re asking a request from you when
you come to Los Angeles . Their request is – Can you play Spider
in the Dressing Room and who is Dougt? They noticed that you like to
mention Dougy and wondering who is he. Well I don’t want
to waste any more of your time. TTFN Thanks, Armando Cuevas
Armando
Hey When we get back there I am sure we will play Spiders and Dougy
for ya! Dougy was a guy we knew 30 years ago, broke, no home, yet the
happiest guy we have ever met! Cheers
Olga
Cheers Olga! I've been
a fan for over 20 years, but never had the chance to see you in concert.
Very sad indeed! My 16 year old daughter is a fan too. Your
music truly transcends generation barriers! Please jump across
the pond and come to Los Angeles. You can stay at my pad if you
like. Nathan
Hi
Nathan Thank you! Cheers for the offer! We will get back eventually!
Miss it loads!
Olga
Hi!!!! I know I souldn't be
asking this, but I just need to know!!! What about Portugal? Are you
olanning coming to one of our festivals? There's a LOT of people waitting
here for you!!!!
Portugal
rocks, we played there a few years back in Porto and Lisbon, rockin!
We will get back!
Olga
Hi there, i'm Franky from
Portugal, fan of yours since the 90's and i've seen you once at Hard
Club Oporto, 4 years ago, and just loved it!!! Everyone junmping
and pushing around!!!! TOY DOLLS RULE!!! ".....Without doubt the
highlight of the band at all times is the vocalist and guitarist Olga,
who has finished with the concept of "punk does not know
to play more than three chords." He is considered one of the
greatest guitarists of all time and introduced new and suitable features
for punk rock and the rock world. To have disks of Toy Dolls in clubs
is a basic requirement for the true lovers of good old rock 'n' roll
since the band is what's best in English punk rock." Translated
from YOUR'S wikipedia definition. Congratulations!!!!! And know
the question - What's your's favorite album(Toy Dolls)?
And your favorite band? Read about your history and tell me now, how
does the guitarrist turns out to be the singer too? Regards from
Portugal to you, expecting you for new show on my country. Franky
Franky
Hi Thank you for that! I remember the Hard Club! A great night we had!
Favourite Toy Dolls album is Absurd Ditties. Favourite band, oh, too
many choose from, maybe Sweet or Slade or SLF. My bad luck to turn out
to be the singer! We will be back, thank you!
Olga
Hey Olga! I'm so happy and
I can't wait for your new album. And I must say that I never forget
the day when my uncle gave me your CDs. Yeah, he's great... Now my only
dream is meet your band on Woodstock Fest in Poland but I know you've
got a lot of gigs in other counries. But I don't give up! Germany is
quite near,so... Ok, go back to writing and don't forget about the breaks
for some beer....I mean juice ;) Greetings from Natty (Poland)
Natty
Hey! Thank you! I really hope we can get back to Poland soon, its been
about 14 years since we were there! Hope to see you there or in Germany!
Take care
Olga
Hi Olga, I was one of the
unfortunate children who sang badly on the track Turtle Crazy recorded
in Wallsend back in 1990. Is my complimentary Turtle Green Vinyl single
worth anything? cheers (in jest) Bongo
Ha!
Bongo, hi Don't be so hard on yerself! Of course your Green Vinyl is
worth something! 25p! Greetings to Wallsend!
Olga
Hi Olga! My name is Stefan
Uebelhart (pigao), and I'm from Brazil. My band has a surprise for you!
Listen! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bg2dP8e1cA8&feature=related
What do you think?
Great
stuff Stefan! See you in Brazil next time around!
Olga
Hello Everybody! ;] I'm Chris
from Poland, I have 4 questions:
#1 I heared that You (Olga) start a band when You have 17 years old,
how long did You practise play on guitar until you start a band? I play
4 months on guitar and I can play Wakey Wakey Intro, Theme Tune from
"Dig That Groove Baby" album, Dougy Giro and almost complete
Toccata very well. Do You think is this good? ;]
#2 What was your first guitar?
#3 What You think about The Clash and Joe Strummer?
#4 Did Toy Dolls ever played gig with The Clash or Ramones? I think
your the best gitarist in the world (seriously!), and The Toy Dolls
are one of my 6 favourite bands (Ramones, The Clash, Toy Dolls, Angelic
Upstarts, The Boys and The Undertones). Best wishes, ciao :) (Sorry
for eventually mistakes in translation :] )
Chris
Hello I will do me best to answer yer questions!
1. I started a band within about 3 months of learning guitar, I think
its important to play together with other musicians as soon as you can.
That sounds amazing that you can play those tunes already, well done!
2. First guitar was an Audition 6 string electric, from a store called
Woolworths in Sunderland, north east UK.
3. Both the Clash and Strummer are Gods.
4. No, unfortunately, we are too young! Ha!
Thank you, Upstarts Rule, and the Boys and the Undertones are fabulous!
Take care
Olga
Hello again Olga, It's Sean
again and I have one question for you. In Me and John Williams,
do you play both electric and acoustic guitar or is some else playing
acoustic for you. If you do both, how do you do it because its
insane. Sean
Hi
Sean Yes I did both electric and acoustics parts on the recording, hard
work! Cheers
Olga
Hey dude, what’s up!?
My name is ridwan, am from Indonesia (you know where is it? Hehehe...)
Sorry about my question, mostly people only know Bali then Indonesia
.. btw you know bali? Hahaha.. Hey man, I really love Toy Dolls so much..
specially the song.. That’s the crazy, nut, and unpredictable
music that I’ve ever heard J Finally, when will you come to Indonesia
..? fyi, there’s most Indonesian punker wait for toy dolls to
come.. and the exploited ever came also... so please don’t let
us down olga.. say hi to toy dolls members
Hi
Ridwan Nice to hear from Indonesia. Thank you! We will get to your country,
somewhere we have wanted to visit for a long time! Soon I hope!
Olga
Areet olga, ever plan on playing
a home town show?
Hey!
Aye, sometime, but difficult to choose, I mean I lived in Sunderland
for years, but born in South Shields!
Olga
Olga, I am a electrician from
Texas. I was looking on You Tube one night and came across your version
of dueling banjos. I was impressed to the point of further researching
the Toy Dolls. I think that it showed the Toy Dolls true talent even
out of their element. My question is, what made you decide to play a
song like this and how long did it take you to learn it?
Cheers
Electrician! Thank you! That song/tune was chosen just coz I didn't
have enough songs written for the album! Took a while to learn play,
still didn't learn it correctly! Take care
Olga
Hey i listend to your tunes
for me way back like 1990's im only 18 now aha i know uve been going
for time but u did a gig here in leicester and said it was your last
tour? so i dunno if u doing another one but come back to leicester u

after the next album is written. Hope to see ya there. Cheers again
Olga
Hey Olga! I know there aren’t
any plans for a US tour anytime soon, but I want you to know, you guys
are at the top of the “bands I must see live before I die”
list (if that serves as any motivation for ya). Anyway, my pals and
I always play this game where we try to create the dream band, with
musicians past and present, and was wonder what your “dream band”
would be? I’ll have you know that you always make the cut for
my super group. Although in my group you have to share guitar-playing
duties with a zombie version of Johnny Thunders… Diggin’
that groove – Frank Aggro, from Chicago.
Frank
Hey Cheers for that, we had a great time last time in Chicago. Good
choice of Johnny on Guitar! Bruce Foxton on Bass, first drummer from
Status Quo and and Feargal Sharkey singin!
Olga
