Once the Portraits of Past
Discography is
nearer to
production, two or three shows' worth of live recordings will be
released for free as .mp3's on this site.
So, those of you
who never saw the band perform live can get a
little taste of what it was like, and all two of you who were there in
'94-'95 can relive that rusty glory.

Location of The
Personnel
After the break-up of
Portraits of Past,
Bringetto, Buffa & Shelverton continued to play music under various
guises, culminating in the Vue, who have released a number of EPs &
full-length records.
Bajda has
assumed the drummer's role in a couple of bands, currently Funeral
Diner, who have been touring the world and releasing lotsa music in the
last few years.
Pettersen often
appears in public wearing earplugs and swearing under his breath. He is
a dedicated consensus builder and Artist of Healing who continues to
perservere in the face of a number of failed business ventures.
