Peggy O'Neill is the drummer the American garage rock trio The Gories. The band formed in 1986 by metro-Detroit natives Mick Collins, Dan Kroha, and Peggy O'Neill. The Gories took their name from a band that appeared on the 1960s television show Gidget.
At the time only Collins had had any musical experience, and they had to teach themselves how to play. The Gories released their first album, Houserockin', in 1989. The release had been pre-dated by two songs on a Wanghead compilation LP, It Came From The Garage Vol. II.
The band recorded the follow-up LP, I Know You Fine, but How You Doin', in 1990, produced by Alex Chilton. They soon signed to Crypt Records and released Outta Here. After three albums, the band suffered a break-up in 1992.
Mick Collins went on to form various bands including Blacktop (band) and The Dirtbombs, while Dan Kroha joined Rocket 455 and later formed the Demolition Doll Rods and The Readies. Peggy O'Neill went on to join '68 Comeback and Darkest Hours.
On September 30, 2008, via the Goner Records message board, Greg Cartwright of the Oblivians announced that the Gories and the Oblivians would play reunion shows in Detroit and Memphis, as well as multiple shows across Europe in the summer of 2009.
