Cat Joins Band! Saffy plays synth!

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.
