Lift Your Head Up
Last year Nate and Barbara celebrated New Year’s Eve with merriment and music, and a video for their song Bright Lights. They decided to make this a tradition, and this year the lyrics are on screen. Bright Lights is a journey of love and change, reconciling our natural selves in the modern world, and leaping into your life even when you cannot see.
Happy New Year Friends. Thank you for being here.
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!

There is much more to come in the new year!

Merry Merry Everybody!
Human. Nature.
Do our instincts work against our growth? Why do we act out in wildness while we further ourselves from the natural world?
Tonight on Youtube we have a lyric video for the song “What’s To Be Expected of the Wild,” performed unplugged at Repressions’ Castle.
The Repressions Castle, to the mortal eye may look like a tiny NYC apartment, but it is a one stop art house… too bad the ideas come faster than the time it takes to finish them. Enjoy some new memes, comics and song lyric illustrations…
Saturday 11/9 The Repressions will come into focus at Kyle Rogers’ record release show at @shilltavern @astoriamusiccollectivenyc #focus #colorful #stainedglass #Windows #indiemusic #kylerogers #dolly #astoriamusic #record #release #album #folkpunk
No better way for two faerie creature musicians to celebrate than by playing a show! A spectacular show! Thank you so much to Astoria Music Collective!
Thank you to The Waystation, The Manimals, 357 Lover, Pretty Polly and everyone who came out to the Mischief Night Show!
If we start planning now, we could probably do these costumes for next Halloween. For now, here’s a dream comic…
The next two spooky fun shows! Get all dressed up and join us!
