The Queens of Chaos show was a smash!
Thank you to Chaos Pixie for organizing the event, and playing that high energy music, along with cool and soulful artists Carissa Johnson and Step Neck! There were two extra crowds at the venue from earlier in the day that stayed for the show~ and The Repressions would like to think that their cover of the Pokemon theme song helped bring everyone together. It was a raucous night of inclusion, community and music!
The first OG Songwriter’s Showcase was such a hit, the Repressions are going to do it again!
Many thanks to The Organic Grill, wonderful artists Natalie Asport and Sara No H, and the lovely crowd that came out on Sunday. We’ll see you again on Sunday March 19th with a new lineup!
Mental Health is so very misunderstood. In addition to the social stigma, there are rampant misconceptions about the help we seek. This song wants to let you know that you are not alone.
Tiny Desk Contest, West Village Shows, Twitch Shows, Cover Shows, Folk-Punk Shows and a New Single! Medicate Me arrives on February 26, and there will be many live performances before and after that. The schedule will be updated as we go.
The Repressions’ new song “To The Wilds” is the official entry for NPR’s Tiny Desk Contest 2023! This contest features independent artists and is a splendid showcase of songwriting and desks! This is the fourth year The Repressions have entered, and all four customized tiny desks can be found in the video, if you look carefully.
To The Wilds is a song about humbly reconnecting with nature. Thank you for watching and remember to seek out the other artists in the contest, it is always full of talent!
Happy New Year!
The next offical single release will be “Medicate Me” on February 25, 2023. There are many live shows coming up, including twice weekly on Twitch. Every Tuesday from 8pm-10pm, and alternating Fridays and Saturdays.
The Twitch community contuinues to grow, and The Repressions are playing a special set on Sunday 1/22 from 7-9pm as part of the Jedi Friends Raid Train, a 4 day Music Festival.
See Nate live at Maggie Halls in Astoria on Thursday February 16th, doing all the covers (with a likely guest appearance from Barbara.)
2022 was such an important year, and there were a few moments, shows and memories that have yet to make it to the site, so here they are together, a jumble of bright lights and the finest friends and a beautiful Followcat.
Nate and Barbara celebrate the new year, five times now, with a new video of BRIGHT LIGHTS. This year features all electronic instrumentation, with live vocals, set to over 50 live performances of the song in 2022.
Thank you for being here.
Live from the Holiday Ho Ho Hoedown Benefit show at ICON Astoria in, The Repressions perform “Christmas Time’s A-Comin'” written by Tex Logan, and first recorded by Bill Munroe in 1951.

Quiet Solitude is a song of calm. Here’s a live take from Twitch (with keyboard in place of glockenspiel.)
