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!
