RIP Michael O'Neill a good read

Rest well, Michael O'Neill.

It's one of the classic New Zealand rock 'n' roll photos.

Taken in late 1980 by Anthony Phelps in the Parnell railway yards, it shows a very young Screaming Meemees peering out of a railway carriage.

Today, we lost Michael.

Whilst the entire band, in large part, defined an era in New Zealand music, it was guitarist Michael who was part of the band's heart and soul and a major reason why thousands queued to see them. Their second single, 'See Me Go', was the very first local record (album or single) to enter the NZ charts at No.1, and the band held the record for the biggest crowd ever at Auckland's Mainstreet when it closed.

But it was much more than that. The band's music spoke to a generation, and a big part of that was Mike, the sounds he co-wrote with the others and played on that trademark cherry-red Rickenbaker.

After the band split in 1983, Michael moved into clothing design, and his Cutter of Newton clothing brand was ubiquitous in innercity Auckland later that decade. However, his first love was always music, and he returned in 1989 with the gorgeous guitar-pop of These Wilding Ways, and in the 1990s, he founded Liquid Recording Studio with Peter van der Fluit from the Meemees. His studio work was everywhere over the next couple of decades.

AudioCulture's thoughts and love are with Mike's whanau and friends. A generation will be sad today.

https://youtu.be/vB3NrJQtYCA?si=abSELB82b-l0Rg8j it's such a mighty shame that Michael A. J. O'Neill from the Screaming Mees has passed away in reports today. The last band the boss saw before he immigration in 1983 at Mainstreet in Auckland and the first band he herd when he listened 🎶 to 4zzzfm when he arrived in Brisbane. The inspiration for starting The NZ Show on 4zzz 102.1 Brisbane 43 Yeats ago. There will be a Meemees special this coming Tuesday with the Boss RiP Michael A.J. O'Neill

The Screaming Meemees were one of the biggest post-punk new-wave pop bands in New Zealand in the early 1980s. The band formed in Auckland in 1979, composed o...
