Indie Music Night at Organic Grill~ 8.25.23

Join The Repressions on Friday August 25th show at The Organic Grill, with the talented Aria Anjali!

Enjoy sweet songs while feasting on amazing food and drinks at Organic Grill. This cozy, welcoming atmosphere will feed your soul in many ways. All ages, No cover.

Barbara and Nate met Aria at an Astoria Music Collective open mic and knew they were hearing a serious and special artist. This is going to be a fantastic show!

Aria Anjali is making a name for herself as a singer/songwriter and performer in the New York music scene. She’s 14 years old, but don’t expect kid music from her. An “old soul,” Aria Anjali writes about life, death, and the world around us. Her songs are haunting with pointed, often piercing lyrics. They will make you think, reflect and even shed a tear. Aria has been writing songs since she was 6 and performing at open mics and other venues since 2021. She has performed by invitation at numerous events in New York City, including Taste of Tribeca and Taste of the Seaport, at the Towne Crier in Beacon, New York and at The Hoot festival, an end of summer music festival started by Pete Seeger, in Cold Spring, New York . You can find Aria Anjali on Instagram (@AriaAnjali) and on most streaming platforms.

Kiirstin Marilyn (she/her) is a singer-songwriter, actor and activist.
She has appeared on USA Network’s, Mr. Robot, Starz’ Hightown, and will soon be seen on season 2 of Peacock TV’s Dr. Death.

With an infusion of modern sonic sensibilities, New York City-bred recording artist, Rick Rocker manages to crack open the time capsule on all we know and love of rock and roll. “He writes songs that are near-instant anthems, made for shouting from rooftops, an arena or just your own bedrooms,” says Queens Tribune. Transparency & vulnerability are recurring pillars throughout Rocker’s previous releases including his acclaimed EP, “Love Turn” (2020.) You can find his music on all major streaming platforms and learn more at rickrockermusic.com. Follow him @rickrockermusic

Queens of Chaos Show~ 3.4.23

The Queens of Chaos show was a smash!

Thank you to Chaos Pixie for organizing the event, and playing that high energy music, along with cool and soulful artists Carissa Johnson and Step Neck! There were two extra crowds at the venue from earlier in the day that stayed for the show~ and The Repressions would like to think that their cover of the Pokemon theme song helped bring everyone together. It was a raucous night of inclusion, community and music!

A feature on the Vegan Music Makers channel!

Just over a year ago, two talented and compassionate music makers, Geno Maurillo and Michael Blow, founded an online group of vegan musicians, singers, songwriters, and videographers who are also vegan. The group quickly grew into hundreds of talented people from around the world, and now they have started their own YouTube channel to showcase these artists.

The Vegan Music Makers, in their words, “come from a love-based approach in hopes of helping to positively evolve the planet.” That means every video on this channel is by an artist who truly cares about animals, the environment and people, and they are living according to their values. It is wonderful company to keep, and The Repressions are very proud to be one of the first featured videos!

Visit the page to hear more from Geno Maurillo, David Giardina, Sophia Fletcher, Joe Deere and much more!
