Lift Your Head Up
This Saturday, March 25, Barbara Dragun of The Repressions is playing a show with her wonderful musician friends, opening for The Greenstreets! The talented superheroes will be joining her onstage with new original songs and cool covers featuring the xylophone… and it is confirmed that Ben Absurdo will be jumping into the fray as well… So, that’s a little Repressions and a whole lot of fun! Free show… hope to see you there!
While The Repressions are preparing to finally record their full length album, where can you find a lot of their music? For now… this playlist of mostly live videos… Not quite all of the songs but a good deal.. plus two strange cover songs. Thank you for listening.
Sometimes you just have to give in… give in to the feelings, give in to the things that comfort you when the feeling hits. Here is a video of the original song “DOWN” from The Repressions’ recent show at The Quays in Astoria…
Trauma changes us fundamentally. We live with it, we adjust, adapt, we carry on and often think we have contained it. It is the ultimate trickster, however, and can so surprise-hello you just when you think you have put it away. .. and so we dress it up, we dress it over…
If you or someone you know is dealing with trauma or PTSD, The Repressions understand and dedicate this song to you.
November 11 2016 – Thank you to our inspiration Sam Rasiotis and Dirty Wings, Kayla O’Keefe, our mascot Seanzy, and everyone who came out to the Bring Em Home Show. All proceeds went to veterans and refugees, making the night even more beautiful.
The Repressions are thrilled to be on the bill with DIRTY WINGS and Kayla O’Keefe for the Bring ‘Em Home Show!
Friday November 11 , 8pm, Shillelagh Tavern, 4722 30th Avenue, Astoria
This was another super show. The Repressions got to play a favorite spot where so many excellent Thursdays were spent. Space Jump Live (Justin Finley, John Keegan, Keith Malonis and Ali Derie) got everybody groovin’ and swaying and jumpin’. Thank you to The Quays, Miguel Hernandez and everybody who came out to groove!
The Night Market… sounds straight out of Neil Gaiman, does it not? Who knew that it would be a weekend summer outdoor event in the largest borough of NYC… and The Repressions were very lucky to be a part of the entertainment.
Thank you to John Wang, Marco, Wendi Gueorguiev, Eric Dragun, and everyone who came out to the show!
And here we go again with the last minute shows… Wow! The Repressions are excited (anxious) thrilled (anxious) and very honored to be performing at The Queens International Night Market on Saturday August 20 at 6:30pm. Free show in the middle of an amazing night!
