The Toy Dolls, Michael (Olga) Algar. Spiders In The Dressing Room

The Toy Dolls

This band is something of a personal favourite, widely undocumented and split a few years ago.

The Toy Dolls are a British punk rock band. They formed in 1979, playing their first ever gig at Millview Social Club, Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, on 20 October 1979. After a couple of gigs vocalist Pete Zulu left to form his own band.

He was replaced by vocalist, Hud who himself left after a single gig, leaving The Toy Dolls as a trio with guitarist Michael "Olga" Algar to assume vocal duties.

This was just the start of the revolving door of drummers and bassists that would characterise the Toy Dolls line-up over the years.
