Now then You Lot! Straight down to the main points!

THE NEW ALBUM IS WELL ON ITS WAY!
It's still being written Olga tells me, but it's coming along nicely (taking forever if you ask me! Ha!) watch this space!

Don't forget showing your support for the Olga Telecaster campaign here.

Your “ASK OLGA“ answers are here.

From the next updates Olga will be hand picking a few of your Ask Olga questions and answering them by video! Though this will be only a choosen few, the rest of the questions will be answered in the usual way, so get yer questions in, maybe you will be one of the lucky few to be answered by Olga actually speaking!

Olga has asked me to point out that his MYSPACE page is now a new one. Apparently all the bands have this new format, Olga isn’t a fan of the new layout, but he will endeavour to make it look a bit more pleasing to the eye over new few weeks.

Hey check out this Brazilian flyer from the mid 80s! The lads first ever tour of Brazil, with the mighty Colera supporting!

Now, the time we have all been waiting for! THE RETURN OF THE GUITAR LESSONS!!
Yes! Hes back! The man himself has recorded a batch of new lessons for ya!
Here is the first one! ENJOY!!


With the album taking longer to complete than anticipated, Secret records will be putting out a Toy Dolls greatest hits album in the spring of 2011. This will include tracks from “Our Last Album?”, audio tracks from “Our last DVD?”, and tracks from the “Treasured Tracks” live album, direct from the mixer without the crowd microphones. The album will be only available digitally, but a limited number of vinyl copies will also be available. More news as we get it, but we can tell ya the album will be aptly titled “Another Bleedin’ Best Of!”
