Stage 1

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!
The Repressions are thrilled to play the pop up Welcome Stage at Porch Stomp 2023! June 17th at 1PM at the Manhattan Ferry Landing (Soissons Landing) on Governor’s Island.
Porch Stomp is an organization committed to the advancement of the New York City American folk music and dance. The Saturday June 17th Festival celebrates 10 years of Porch Stomp, with over 200 artists on 18 stages from 11am – 6pm.
The Repressions will be playing 1-2pm at the top of the hill when you enter the island from Manhattan. What a wonderful day of music it will be!
