Archive material and source history
Pictures For Nothing came together in New York City during the mid-1990s, with David Steinmetz handling vocals and guitar. Their debut album 'Disappearance' arrived in 2002 and included the track 'Once Famous Man,' which seemed to connect with listeners who recognized something about the fleeting nature of recognition. The band followed with albums like 'The Fellowship' in 2004, 'Field of Grass' in 2008, and 'Pictures of You' in 2012.
Their lineup included Jonathan Sneider on guitar, Jeremy King on bass, and Brian Brown on drums. They worked with other artists at times, including Mike Patton, Julia Holter, and Antony and the Johnsons. The band went on hiatus around 2013.
