📣 Meet Tony O’Neill, Author (and britnoter 🇬🇧) He’s launching his latest book, Forged Prescriptions, in a few weeks, and you’re all invited (we’ll be there)! It’s a short story collection brought to you via hip Hudson-based indie Far West Press ~ and features original cover art by one-time bad boy of the Young British Artists, Jake Chapman! Tony is a seriously interesting man…
📖 Born in Blackburn, Tony started as a keyboard and has played with acts like Soft Cell’s Marc Almond, Britpop-era band Kenickie, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, and The Sneaker Pimps’ Kelli Ali.
🗽 After a stint in LA he landed in NYC nearly 20 years ago where he was signed by Harper Perrenial, and has successfully published several books.
📝 He’s co-authored a pair of New York Times bestselling memoirs: Hero of the Underground with Jason Peter and Neon Angel: Story of a Runaway with Cherie Currie (inspiring the movie The Runaways, starring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning.)
📽️ His book, Sick City, is being adapted into a limited series by American Psycho author Bret Easton Ellis 🙌
🎬 As if all the books weren’t enough, he’s also ventured into screenwriting - his latest, Teenage Wildlife, is set during LA’s hardcore punk heyday, with filming beginning later in the year.
