Lift Your Head Up
The Repressions are duper super excited to be playing the Irish Whiskey Bar on Saturday March 26, with friends Ben Absurdo (solo act) and Dolly! (The ultra-talented Dave Seigel and Margaret Horning.) This is going to be a zany and entertaining night in Astoria!
Ben Absurdo -9pm (philosophy-punk)
Dolly! – 10pm (acoustic surf rock)
The Repressions – 11pm (silly-sad-mental-fun-rock)
Here it is! The only cover song The Repressions have ever done. With love and thanks to writers Mark Mueller and Ron Jones, for creating one of the grooviest cartoon theme songs ever known. Life IS like a hurricane.
From the blizzard sessions The Repressions made a simple live video for this strange song. Panic Attacks are not funny by any means, but if you or someone you know suffers from them, this song is for you, from the point of view of the attack itself. Giving the panic external form was helpful in the writing of it, perhaps it can give someone out there a laugh of understanding, or at least a little empathy.
No thanks to the blizzard and plenty of thanks to the Irish Whiskey Bar… Our show with Dolly! and the solo Ben Absurdo will now take place on Saturday March 26th! That gives The a Repressions plenty of time to freak out, and you plenty of time to make plans or think of a way out. 🦃 Yay!
The Repressions could not perform their show due to the blizzard, and so stuck inside did a whole kitchen concert. They also have a first attempt at a brand new song. If you like Shakespeare, Arthurian literature, or just want to pull yourself or someone you know out of the dark water, we hope you will enjoy this song:
What an incredible night! Thanks and love to Sam Rasiotis, Dirty Wings and The Concentrics for inviting us to play this very special show. The Repressions are blessed to be part of the Astoria music scene.
The Repressions are so happy to be playing FRIDAY DECEMBER 18 at THE IRISH WHISKEY BAR in Astoria, with Dirty Wings, The Concentrics and Madison Rust. No cover, definite weirdness!
Get your cereal ready, big kids.
