TOY DOLLS

ORIGEN: U.K.

GENERO: PUNK

The Toy Dolls es un grupo británico de punk rock. Se formaron en 1979, actuando por primera vez en el Millview Social Club de Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, el 20 de octubre de 1979. Tras un par de actuaciones, el vocalista Pete Zulu abandonó la formación para crear su propia banda. Fue reemplazado por otro vocalista, Hud, quien también dejó el grupo tras una única actuación, convirtiendo a The Toy Dolls en un trío con su guitarrista, Michael "Olga" Algar asumiendo el papel de vocalista. Sólo fue el comienzo del baile de baterías y bajistas que caracterizarían a The Toy Dolls a lo largo de los años.

Rápidamente construyeron un grupo local de admiradores y se les consideró inicialmente un grupo Oi!, en plena emergencia en ese momento, aunque mucha gente opina que, a pesar de poseer unos coros característicos de la música Oi!, se les clasifica mejor como pop-punk. Otra razón de asociárseles con la movida Oi! es que fueron apoyados por Garry Bushell, muy involucrado con bandas Oi! como The Angelic Upstarts (a los cuales The Toy Dolls acompañaron en su primera gira nacional). En 1980 un hombre de negocios local financió su primer sencillo, "Tommy Kowey's Car" con el tema "She Goes To Finos" en su cara B. Vendieron rápidamente sus primeras 500 copias, pero la banda no podía permitirse el lujo de editar más, haciendo de este disco una pieza de coleccionista.

En 1983 estrenaron su primer LP, "Dig That Groove Baby"; por aquel entonces y con la ayuda de Bushell comenzaron a atraerse la atención de prensa nacional, y en 1984 reventaron la lista de éxitos con su interpretación punk de "Nellie The Elephant", una clásica canción infantil, que alcanzó el número 4 en las listas británicas y que permaneció entre las 100 mejores durante no menos de 12 semanas.

The Toy Dolls han continuado desde entonces con su eterno cambio de casas discográficas y formación, estableciendo bases de admiradores en Europa, Estados Unidos y Japón, publicando multitud de LP y sencillos que llevaron a The Toy Dolls a lo que conocemos hoy en día.
