Lift Your Head Up
What do you do when a local band that you love contacts you and asks you to fill in for a cancellation just five hours before showtime? You say yes, of course, and if you are The Repressions, you say yes and get manic, sleepy, worried, manic again, and then happy and grateful. What a fantastic show! We are grateful!
Hello again, World! Super surprise last minute Show! The Repressions are opening for The Concentrics TONIGHT at their big annual show at Shillelagh Tavern! We are honored and very hyper! (And hoping those are veggie burgers in that poster ) Stop on down!
The Repressions had a wondrously colorful time at the 40th Annual Unicorn-on-a-Kebabathon Show. They were terribly awkward emcees to a night of magic and bad banter. They were enthralled to share the stage with Zoe Over Zero, Space Jump Live, The Greenstreets, Dirty Wings, and Nelly Dubarry. Thanks to Justin Finley, Irish Whiskey Bar and everyone who came out that night. So much glitter!

We will see you two more times at least and so far this month…
Saturday July 9 at Irish Whiskey Bar
Wednesday July 27 at Maggie Reilly’s
Mark your repressive calendars! …And thank you!
The Repressions were thrilled to play among the trees and birds and breezes and awesome friends and musicians. Thanks to Karolina Rose for the photos.
You have three chances to see The Repressions here in New York City in July… hopefully you can attend one, or half, or two and three quarters or maybe maybe all three shows? There will be different set lists at each show, and at least one nervous breakdown given the odds. The Repressions are jubilant this July.
The Repressions were blessed to have such an incredible audience at Shillelagh Tavern on April 17. They were also thrilled to share a bill with Astoria favorites KaylaO’Keefe and Joe Pepe, and Lux from Massachusetts. What an incredible night!
Join us Sunday April 17 at The Shillelagh Tavern in Astoria, with K-La and The Coasters and Lux from Massachusetts. Three bands, great live music, inexpensive drinks, lots of space and right in the middle of it all those silly weirdos The Repressions will be singing and playing their silly hearts out for you.
Here is a live version of The Repressions very first song, Allow, on Soundcloud. When you cannot have what you want, do you bury it or set it free?
Lots and lots of love to The Irish Whiskey Bar, Dolly! and everyone who came out to this show. Wow! The Repressions are overwhelmed with gratitude and cannot wait to do it again!
