They were formidable – but to me they were also one of those bands where it had to be that line-up or not at all. Subsequent line-ups had their moments, but that original line-up really were phenomenal. It was drone-rock at its most uncompromising and thrilling – huge, pulsating riffs and waves of screeching, distorted guitars.
Thanks for this Grant – there’s not much more to say.
Photograph of Peter Gutteridge with the original Snapper lineup, probably at the Gluepot, 1988 or early 1989 ...

Capture: See Into the Trees, in reply to
nice one, the ektachrome has a pleasing way of handling the highlights/ sky
Thanks. Yes, it was good stuff. Not quite dead but they're giving the last rites.
A good excuse to post another Ektachrome shot (also with a few trees) ... the charming olde world Grafton village.

Alan captured the memories of the band’s irrepressible guitarist, Michael O’Neill, before the severe stroke that Michael suffered recently. I hope the recovery is going as well as it can do for Michael and his family.
I hope so too. That is sad news.
Here's one of the Meemees photos that I sent to Simon today for the Audio Culture page. It was taken in 1981 when the band played a show in a circus tent at Okahu Bay. It was the first time I took a camera to a gig, and this was the best shot.
