Show tonight! Friday October 24th

For the third time this month, The Repressions have been asked to fill in for an 11th hour gig, and are back tonight at Espresso 77!

Not much time to promote, but it’s a good feeling to be the “reliable go-to band.” Yeah, yeah, it’s the trusty ol’ Repressions ! We will still be bringing our full show of music, costumes, artwork and fun. If you want to see us at a small comfortable spot (seating, coffee, drinks, food, artwork, mood lighting) that’s all ages, come through on Friday at E77 at 8:30pm.

Show from 8:30-10:30 at Espresso 77 35-57 77th St, Jackson Heights, Queens, NYC 11372

If you can’t make it tonight, be certain to check out our YouTube channel for live videos from recent shows. Give us a subscribe button while you’re there, it really helps the channel and sends the music out into the world. The Repressions are making music for so many reasons, but connecting people is one of the most important purposes of The Repressions.
