October 2025 – The Repressions

It has been a very busy October! Lots of live shows in NYC, Barbara’s piano mid-term at Juilliard Extension, an upcoming Halloween show on Twitch, and of course, attending the Chelsea Film Festival as our song “We Are The Strange Ones” is featured in Friends Not Food. We’re trying to post at least one video from every live show this year on YouTube, and you can find the shorts and reels on Tiktok, Instagram and more for the short versions. This week it’s “Ophelia’s Song” live at Pete’s Candy Store in Brooklyn. We had an amzing time playing there. Video and link below. Such a fantastic month!

We will still be bringing our full show of music, costumes, artwork and fun. If you want to see us at a small comfortable spot (seating, coffee, drinks, food, artwork, mood lighting) that’s all ages, come through on Friday at E77 at 8:30pm.
