So we did what they thought could not be done. We managed to get together after a 20 year hibernation, record an album of 15 songs, play a kick ass gig of 23 songs all in under a week. __ Here's a review of the gig from www.welshpunk.f2s. I went to the Soldier Dolls Reunion gig on Saturday.  At Le Pub Newport - a small attic in the centre of Newport. It was freezing cold there everyone kept their coats on and the PA sounded shit.  Four Letter Word came on first - minus a bass player which was a shame as their music seemed ok.    The Dolls came on at about ten o'clock and really warmed the place up.  Everyone must have been wondering how they would sound as they hadn't played together in 20 years.  They thrashed out their set in typical early eighties punk style.  Three rhythm guitars going at it at 90 mile and hour and a pulsating bass line to acomodate a really good drummer.  Having not heard much of their stuff before the gig I was really impressed. Each of their songs had something different to offer. Its more than obvious that a great deal of thought has gone into each song.  It makes you think what could've been if they just had a couple of years off here and there like a lot of other punk bands instead of a 20 year holiday! All in all I enjoyed their set and will look forward to the new studio album due out this summer. The Dolls have really achieved a lot in this fortnight.... Recorded an album and rehearsed for a one off gig.  This is no mean feat bearing in mind that Fester lives in Canada, the drummer in Spain and the lead guitarist comes from France. I recommend them wholeheartedly five stars.   and no we didn't pay the reviewer to say we were good.in fact some people, well one person at least, thought we were the worst band he'd ever seen see for yourself at www.southwalesmassive.com/forum/index.php?s=2911e9a8f297ebd3337138617b7ec e48&showtopic=4252 See the pics page for snap shots from the studio and the gig. we are now planning doing a tour (when and where is up in the air) and another album so watch this space. __________________________________________________________________ Our very limited edition compilation CD COMP:END:IUM 1981-1985 featuring 20 songs consisting of the records, studio demos and live stuff can be ordered via the email address on the contact page. _____________________________________________________
