The Holy Toledos were a folk-rock group formed in Christchurch, New Zealand and led by musicians Mick and Brendan Gregg. Active between 1989 and 1994 (but never officially breaking up), they originally formed as a group of school friends from St. Thomas of Canterbury College. They are known for their melodic guitar-based folk-rock, and released two albums, "Forget and Forgive", in 1992, and "Blood", in 1993. The rumoured third album, "Stone" from 1994, has not been released to date.
The band has included the following members over the years:
The band underwent a personnel change prior to the release of their second album, including the replacement of guitarists O'Connell and Mitchell, by ex-Strangelove Tom Mahon.
"Forget and Forgive", their first album, was released by New Zealand record label Failsafe Records Limited. It was recorded in the Christchurch College of Education, in 1991, and took one week to record.
After touring with Crowded House around New Zealand in 1992, the band was signed by Sony after a recommendation from Paul Hester. Then they toured with the legendary Split Enz in 1993. The lads recorded the next album "Blood" in Airforce Studios Auckland in 1993. Approximately half of the album was produced by Paul Hester, of Crowded House. He also played the drums for the single "Love's Not Fair" on "Blood". It was released globally under various different Sony labels, including TriStar in America.
