chelsea film festival – The Repressions

Happy New Year!

Thank you for listening and watching, especially during this anniversary year. 2025 marked 10 years of The Repressions! There were live shows, a full album CD release, music videos, a film festival, recitals, new venues, new collaborations, new followers, and new friends!

There are so many highlights: Playing at Moynihan Station for Midtown Music, Working with Felicia Greenfield of Friends Not Food and having our song “We Are the Strange Ones” included in the show and Chelsea Film Festival, Playing with Lorraine Leckie, Phil Robinson and Roomful of Sky Music, Astoria Music Collective, Paul and Aly’s wedding, The Long Room, Urban Vegan Roots, Juilliard Extension Recitals, Apryl Knight guest starring, the Open Streets show, Baker Falls, and being on stage with so many talented artists over the year. Ten years, dozens of songs, hundreds of shows, much artwork, absolute adventures, and many friends. There are new shows, new recordings, and big events forthcoming in 2026. Thank you for joining us.

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!
