Lift your head up, lift your head up, lift your head up, lift your head up now! It is about truly taking in all of the beauty in the moments and the world around you, and also about looking directly at the things in our world that need action and reform. Here is a live performance from The Repressions’ latest show at c’mon everybody in Brooklyn.

Doing a Twitch show is a unique performing experience. While the venue has more creature comforts, you tend to play much longer sets than at a music venue. You have to be ready for anything at either gig, but there is a tension and freedom taking random requests and improvising on a song you may have never played before. Nate did a fantastic job winging it with one of Barbara’s favorite Red Hot Chili Peppers songs, Dosed, on YouTube today.
To The After ~ New Live Video
To The After is a song of reversal, of fear, and hope through living in the present while the future is only questions.

Ophelia’s Song – The Repressions New Video

Life can make you feel pretty small, no matter where the calendar lands. This song is for anyone who does not feel they are meeting the strange standards adulthood.
It’s Luna! The real Followcat
Luna is always with us and always inspiring us, as she inspired the song “Followcat” and just keeps amazing us with her adorable ways. She was found on the streets of Queens NYC in 2006, and quickly became family. Thank goodness for every minute and every day with her. We were lucky to get her for a brief cameo on our livestream show. That Luna!
