What a wonderful weekend of music at two beautiful spots! On Friday DEcember 1st, The Repressions were honored to play at The Plant Powered Disruptors Beatles Tribute Show at the historic Caravan of Dreams! Caravan of Dreams place has been a favorite spot, and an East Village institution since the 1990’s, and Plant Powered Disruptors hosted a great evening including pianist Wendy Ip.
The very next night The Repressions had an excellent show at the lovely Brooklyn Music Kitchen~ comeplete with purple and green themed lighting! Many thanks to Brookyln Music Kitchen and their excellent sound, stage and house team, and to the wonderful crowd!
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. 😊
A fine night of indie music awaits! The Repressions will be putting on a show! Singing songs about art, injustice, animals, and emotions as strength. Music and prizes and more~ do come through.
