New YouTube video today! The Repressions cover Simon and Garfunkel’s “April Come She Will,” by request, live, by request.

April Come She Will is a special song in The Repressions’ history. This was the very first song that Nate learned on guitar at age 14 (taught by by his mother Lisa.) Many years later, he was playing the song at an open mic in Astoria, and Barbara, a huge fan of the song, looked up. That was the night they met, and the first conversation they had was based around this song. Now, all these changing seasons later, they play it together.

April Come She Will, written by Simon and Garfunkel. From their 1966 album, Sounds of Silence.

New Song! New YouTube video today! The Repressions perform their song “Each Time You Go Away,” at The Wild Goose NYC.

Just announced! The Repressions are very truly happily excited to be playing at Rockwood Music Hall on Sunday August 6th, at 8pm. We hope that you will join us!

Over the past 18 years, Rockwood has become a cultural institution for the NYC independent music scene. This is a beautiful space with fantastic sound engineers, this show is not to be missed!

Playing the Porch Stomp Music Festival on Governor’s Island was a great thrill for The Repressions, as it was their first time playing and attending. Porch Stomp is entirely about community and fellowship among musicians, and New York city can fill an island full. There were simply too many bands and acts and friends on every one of the 20 stages, with so much takent! Thankfully everyone came together for a sing along for the last hour. It was a magical day.

June was also full of fantastic Twitch shows, which brings us to another wonderful, supportive music community. Truly, musicians look out for one another, and Twitch friends and fans who organize the amazing Raid Train events (Thank you @Jedi_Nitemare) foster a sense of conncetion and friendship. The Repressions have to give a special thanks to Stunshine Music and the Gorilla Tag community for their awesome visits!

Also, in June, The Repressions laid down tracks for “Just An Animal,” (the next single due mid August,) released four new YouTube videos, plus shorts, reels and tiktok clips, the band is updating their music studio, and Nate began a summer singing course at Juilliard.

July looks promising!

The Repressions are slightly late to the Tiktok party, but are absolutely enjoying the show. This is a place to see quick clips of live performances, musical improv and likely some silly outtakes. See you there!
