The Repressions open each show with this one minute introduction song, complete with lyrics and comics.
New Video – We Are The Strange Ones
So come on kids paint the Strange One’s spackle, shake off your shackle, don’t give your demographic to the cruel and needy greed, don’t let them feed, steer them to their knees… Until we rearrange let’s force the change, make their savage selfishness seem so strange… We Are The Strange Ones
A bit blurry (let’s call it artistic) but here is the newer version of this song, with the wonderful addition of Nate Lay on guitar and vocals…
New Video – Take On Me! Acoustic & Xylophone Cover
Nate and Barbara certainly love to play this wonderful song by A-Ha, with a little help from Twyla the Midnight Xylophone. Hope you enjoy it!
New Video – Ginger Dizzy!
Ginger Dizzy is an important song for The Repressions, as it tends to make audiences happy and sing along, which is one of the most meaningful things that music can do. It is also the song that inspired the “vaudeville” part of The Repressions’ style. There are quite a few versions out there, Barbara and Ben, just Barbara, just Nate, the recorded version with Barbara and Nate, but this live performance captured this week actually features all three Repressions… the new definitive version…
Sometimes it is better, or maybe a little necessary, to be hazy and out of it, rather than sad… of only for a little while… Confusion you can choose is better than the blues…
New Video – Island Song (Adventure Time Cover)
Wishing you a gentle day, friends… Nate and Barbara cover Island Song by Ashley Eriksson (you know that lovely song on the closing credits of Adventure Time…)
The Repressions are finally on all of the things… (until the next thing, that is…)
Late to some of the party on Instagram and Twitter, but we realized we need to reach out in all of the ways. One of our most important missions as a band is to connect with anyone out there who might be feeling isolated, picked on, misunderstood, or shamed for being different. Being an indie band means DIY, and we are fortunate that in this trek-tech age, we can do so much. So, whatever your preferred way to follow a band, hopefully we are there:
