Tame O'Mearas

about

Personell : Lindsay O'Meara Drosma Bebris Angela Plevey Jill O'Meara and possibly others played everything they could lay their hands on... In many ways, The Tame O'Mearas were the definitive post-punk band : a do it yourself attitude with almost non-musicians learning instruments and making sounds and switching roles seemingly at random - do it now and then go on to something else. Overall, they sounded light and airy with small percussion and chiming guitar tones anchored by fluid bass. They sounded closest amongst us all to English bands like The Raincoats but, ofcourse, they were really like no-one else. Nothing released officially but songs like 'Sweat and Babble' and 'Curl Curl' are favourite cassette icons. Lindsay (in just about everything listed here) now lives in Madrid, Drosma is in country comfort at Albury and Jill's a lawyer in Sydney. Angie died tragically aboard the Marchioness on the Thames.
