Lift Your Head Up
Art is completely unpredictable… and also requires a lot of careful planning and organization… So here have the next four invites now, we cannot wait to see you at these shows!
Oh how the evening did rawk! Thank you to host Jimmy Artache, Irish Whiskey Bar Astoria, JW Farrell and Sam Rasiotis!
Folk-punk is a term that we hear often to describe the band, and we say that makes as much sense as all of the the genres we jump to. We’ll be playing with cool cats Sam Rasiotis and JW Farrell next week, who both bring the noise and passion, and so The Repressions will be dedicating this set to the faster, rambunctious songs. Jump with us!
How cool and fine it was to play the new and dreamier and softer songs, the forest music of The Repressions… How lovely cool it was to meet new friends and hear new music from Gary D and Chloe’s Touch… Thank you to everyone who came out!
The Repressions are always working on new songs, and want to use this showcase to share some new, some newer, some softer and dreamier songs such as Starpool, From The Blue Green Sea, Quiet Solitude and Starlight Golfcourse. The showcase is hosted by the talented Jimmy Artache and promises to feature other cool local artists. No cover charge, just wild and soft music right near the 30th Avenue Subway stop in glorious Astoria. Hope to see you there!
Thank you to Astoria Music Collective and everyone who cam out for the Turning Leaves Festival!
Be certain to find and follow Kyle Rogers’ new album on all platforms and media… He is an immense talent. What an excellent show with he and Dolly and Astoria Music Collective!

9/7/19 – This was a show arranged by Hellgate Bridge Alliance. benefiting the Westway Inn Women’s shelter. Here you see some of the the Collective, playing each other’s songs, which were randomly chosen and assigned and then practiced in secret. Round 1- each act performed their original song… Round 2 – Each act surprised someone else with a cover of their song. A great cause. a beautiful day, and an amazing community. Check out Patrick Robert’s covering “We Are The Strange Ones” on our Youtube channel!
Special thanks to Miguel Hernandez, Patrick Merino, Andrew Lasky, Brandon Glasgow, Margaret Horning and our dear brother Ben Olson.
