Flying across the country to catch @portraitsofpast.bsky.social just about 30 years after I first saw them, and they play in front of a video montage of California coast stuff, redwoods and tidepools and shorebirds, helluva way to make the place still feel like home.

Portraits of Past has risen—or perhaps the Bay Area hardcore act never truly died? - 48 hills An unlikely tale that rages from Half Moon Bay and Gilman Street to the Lower East Side's grimy dance floors.

Thanks to Josh Rotter and @48hills.bsky.social for this in-depth piece on Portraits Of Past’s background in the Bay, with hints at what’s next!

Give it a read & catch us at Great American Music Hall on May 31st.
