Lift Your Head Up
Oh goodness! The Repressions are featured in the “best desks” video for the NPR contest! While the tour is not happening this year of course, this little bit of light is very welcome. It’s a very nice video, lots of creativity on display and a lovely way to showcase and support independent artists, on the NPR YouTube channel. And of course, our song and video with the now-famous desk can be found on our own YouTube channel.) #tinysurprise
The Repressions had the loveliest of times singing their original song Followcat, and from the Tiny Desk followed the Tiny Repressions… See their debut in this video. This song is dedicated to Luna!
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!

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!
No we don’t stop actually. And we are so glad of it! The Repressions are playing The Mad Donkey:Â 32-07 36th Ave, Astoria, NY 11106 on Saturday November 16 as part of the Turning Leaves Festival!
Live performance of The Repressions’ original song, Followcat, at the 2019 Kingston Animalia Concert. Dedicated to Luna.
What an incredible weekend…. nearly too much to report about this huge event and show at BSP Kingston! Thank you to Rebecca Moore, Hudson Valley Vegfest and all of the incredible volunteers! If you were not able to go this year, start planning for the 2020 fest now!
The Repressions were already fans of Kiirstin Marilyn, Luis Mojica, Amelia Rose Allen, Kneel Cohn, Cyndi Washburn, Bobby Belfry, and Candle Hoax, and then got to share the stage with them last weekend, all in support of The Institute for Animal Happiness! Amazing!
Just one day away! This weekend long festival is going to be full of food and classes and art and music and ethical vendors and all to help animals! These are the songs The Repressions are excited to play:
