The Toy Dolls

THE TOY DOLLS are OLGA (Guitar & Singing) , TOMMY GOOBER (Bass) , THE AMAZING Mr. DUNCAN (Drums) www.thetoydolls.com Slated by the British music press for being a joke ‘one hit wonder’ band and being on par with The Tweets, The Grumbleweeds, The Barron Knights and The Wurzels, here we are after 40 years, 13 studio albums, dozens of ‘best of' albums, live albums, box sets and, more importantly, the 40 years of constant worldwide live tours, shows and festivals, playing to packed houses from Buenos Aires to Budapest. Strangely enough, the band are not influenced by any of the above mentioned acts! The band's main man, lead singer / guitarist and songwriter Michael 'Olga' Algar (recognized throughout the world as one of the best punk guitar players around by fans a musicians alike) states his influences as Mick Green (The Pirates), Wilko Johnson and Chuck Berry, alongside The Jam, The Sweet and Slade. With a stage show packed with synchronized jumps and dances, choreography, spinning guitars, and highly addictive melodies, this is escapism at its best! OFFICIAL QUOTES: “Olga is a guitar virtuoso, I'm not ****ing kidding. We did a show with The Toy Dolls in France over the past summer and they're still world-class punk rock. I've been a fan of these guys for almost 30 years” Tim Armstrong, Rancid “A band this good is a rare and wonderful thing, don’t miss ‘em” Garry Bushell, Sounds Magazine.
