Saffy the Cat has added her unique musical talent to The Repressions live performance of “Quiet Solitude,” during their November 21,2023 livestream show on Twitch. While extemporaneous, the band knew it was wise to let her take lead on keyboard. Fans said they appreciated the dark disonance and extreme cuteness that she added.
Saffy likes being part of the band, and showing the audience how to get attention. She received many pets after the performance, as did her sister Tira. The Repressions are very grateful that Saffy decided to jump in on the song. You can watch the full performance on YouTube today.
New YouTube video today! The Repressions cover “Shelter From the Storm” by Bob Dylan, live on Twitch, with a faster tempo and some keyboard improvisation. Requests can really keep a musician on the job! You can make requests twice a week on Twitch.
Shelter From the Storm can be found on Bob Dylan’s tremendous 1975 album, “Blood On The Tracks.” Both Nate and Barbara were big fans of this album long before they met. 😊
New YouTube video today! The Repressions cover “True Love Waits” by Radiohead, live, at their October 20th show at Organic Grill in New York City.
New YouTube video today! The Repressions cover “I Promise” by Radiohead, live, by request, from their September 9th show on Twitch.
New YouTube video today! The Repressions’ noisiest song, Trust Your Doors, is about change. Making changes is hard, even when the changes are good for you. You can see it, but can you make that step through?
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 YouTube video today! The Repressions perform their song “Some Kind of Lion,” live, at their June 20, 2023 Twitch show.
New YouTube video today! The Repressions cover “Only You,” by request, live, by request. Thank you to Yazoo for this beautiful song!
