Folk-punk is a term that we hear often to describe the band, and we say that makes as much sense as all of the the genres we jump to. We’ll be playing with cool cats Sam Rasiotis and JW Farrell next week, who both bring the noise and passion, and so The Repressions will be dedicating this set to the faster, rambunctious songs. Jump with us!
The Repressions are grateful to have played so many live shows in 2019, including the NYC Veggie Pride Parade in Union Square and Kingston Animalia Concert at BSP Kingston! Thank you to these terrific New York venues and events: The Local, Espresso 77, East Village Social, Irish Whiskey Bar, Union Square Park, Make Music New York, Jack Jones, Dolphin Bookshop & Cafe, Belvedere, LIC Bar, Kumon Awards Ceremony, Athens Square Park, RaR Bar, Shore Fest, Uke Hut, BSP Kingston, The Way Station, The Quays, Shillelagh Tavern, The Mad Donkey, and Marine Terrace. Special thanks to photographer Patrick Merino (he took the fine professional images here,) John Cavaliere and Zack Dash for filming, photographing and always being there, Ben Olson, The AR Community and Astoria Music Collective, our neighborhood musical family! There is much more to come in the new year!

No we don’t stop actually. And we are so glad of it! The Repressions are playing The Mad Donkey:Â 32-07 36th Ave, Astoria, NY 11106 on Saturday November 16 as part of the Turning Leaves Festival!
This lovely spot in Jackson Heights is warm, inviting, immersed in music and art… and also has amazing vegan desserts! Thank you to everyone who came out to the show…
A beautiful day outdoors with the whole park and the water and the shore and an amazing crowd and fabulous sound crew! Thank you to Astoria Park Alliance for a wonderful show!
Special thanks to fellow performer and rock-harpist Tracey Horst
The Repressions just got some fantastic photos by Patrick Merino, from the Make Music New York 2019 event. Thank you Patrick! How wonderful to get the band enjoying the show after their set, and The Repressions’ Prize Box in action. There are prizes for all ages at every show.
