Alko: Hi Olga! Hope you're doing great. Since you're coming over for Rock na Bagnie soon, I was wondering if you could answer a few quick questions before the gig? I’d love to share your answers on our Polish fan page and Facebook group along with the gig announcement.
Olga: Hi Alko. I shall try my best, apologies for short answers, in between The Toy Dolls and Cockney Rejects gigs and rehearsals.
No pressure at all—if you’re completely swamped with tour prep, don't worry about it. But I'm leaving the questions right here just in case you find a spare moment for a quick chat! CHEERS!
Do you still remember your very first gig in Poland?
Olga: YES, in the mid 80’s there were 2 shows, Warsaw & Krakow, 1995, exciting times! Highly enjoyable, sorry it took so long to get back!
Have you ever had a funny or bad accident on stage? Something that made you laugh, or the opposite – made you angry?
Olga: Yes, The time I remember the most was in Sao Paulo Brazil, a guy climbed across all the security and crash barriers, jumped on stage and knocked my tooth out, we got through the show though! And the guy said he was a hug fan! Not sure how he could say that!
Do you ever get a chance to go sightseeing in Poland, or is it always just venue, stage, and back on the bus?
Olga: No, never, it’s a shame, its always, van, sleep, soundcheck, sleep, gig, then go….
What’s the best Polish food you’ve had so far? And are you going to risk the local delicacies before going on stage at Rock na Bagnie?
Olga: I do like Polish food, lots of potatoes, pork & cabbage etc! yummy, we will try more before the Rock na Bagnie show! If we get time!
This July you’re playing Rock na Bagnie in Goniądz. Have you heard anything about the festival yet, or are you expecting a total muddy surprise?
Olga: We really don’t know what to expect, we have never heard of this festival before, and we can wait to get there, its been tooooo long!
In Goniądz, you’re sharing the stage with our local legends like Dezerter and TZN Xenna. Do you actually know or listen to any Polish bands?
Olga: Nope. Unfortunately we have never heard of these bands, but I am sure they must be great!
You’re working on new tunes at the moment—will it be just your own stuff on the next album, or did the other guys chip in with their ideas?
Olga: I am the 95% the main writer, but the other guys do help a bit with arrangement/ideas too
Do you like doing interviews?
Olga: I actually don’t mind, I just wished I had more to give longer answers!
