Overview

The Toy Dolls turned three-chord punk into something gleefully cartoonish, and Our Last DVD? catches them doing it live and full-throttle. Recorded at Utrecht's Tivoli in Holland in November 2004 on the "Our Last Tour?" run, it's the Sunderland trio — Olga on guitar and vocals, Tommy Goober on bass, Dave The Nut on drums — tearing through a career-spanning set with the speed and daft humour that made them a cult act.

The setlist is huge: the breakthrough novelty smash "Nellie The Elephant" sits alongside fan favourites like "Dig That Groove Baby," "Yul Brynner Was A Skinhead," "Fisticuffs In Frederick Street," classical-punk mash-ups ("Sabre Dance," "Toccata," "Boccherini Bit") and the surf staple "Wipe Out." More than two and a half hours in all, filmed with multiple cameras and mixed in 5.1.

Beyond the concert, the disc adds a 40-minute interview with Olga in Camden filmed January 2005, plus behind-the-scenes, rehearsal and on-tour footage from across 2004. For Toy Dolls fans and punk collectors, this is one of the band's most complete live documents — released to mark 25 years of the group.

Interesting Facts

Their cover of "Nellie The Elephant" became a UK Top 5 hit in late 1984, the song most casual listeners know them for.
The band is known for punk arrangements of classical and novelty pieces — Khachaturian's "Sabre Dance" and Boccherini turn up in the set here.
Frontman Olga (Michael Algar) is the one constant member through the band's many lineups.
Drummer "Dave The Nut" plays Jalapeno handmade drums, credited on the sleeve.
The release came via Secret Films, the concert arm of Secret Records, known for multi-camera 5.1 live capture of classic UK acts.
