Blake Rules joins The Austin Young Show to talk about his new album Synth City, his connection to the Supernova Ska Festival, and his completely unpredictable musical career. We get into ska, DIY music, his work as illustrator and the many strange and wonderful places his creativity has taken him. It's a conversation about music, community, and refusing to stay in one genre.

Tim Hildebrand of Catbite joins The Austin Young Show to talk about the band's new Doom Garden EP, working with Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump on "Tired Of Talk," Catbite's history with Supernova Ska Festival, and their return to the festival in just a few weeks. Tim also opens up about what's next for Catbite and whether Doom Garden could mark the end of their run with Bad Time Records though nothing is set in stone.

King Booty Disco frontman Vic Toruno joins The Austin Young Show for a conversation about disco, music, the DFW scene, and the band's brand-new album, Disco Crush. We get into the band's sound, the creative process behind the new record, and what happens when you combine serious musicianship with a band name like King Booty Disco. It's funky, it's weird, and somehow we managed to keep the conversation from completely derailing. Mostly.

Listen to Disco Crush wherever you stream music, and check out King Booty Disco for upcoming shows and new music.

Chaos arrives on The Austin Young Show as Dallas hardcore punk band No-Fun stops by to talk about their new demo, featuring members of Casual Relapse, The Fullstops, and Crystal of Agony. What starts as a conversation about the band's music quickly goes off the rails with stories about a new straight edge lifestyle, accusations of being on Grindr, and plenty of unfiltered laughs along the way. If you love hardcore punk, DIY music, and unpredictable interviews, this episode is for you. The band's debut demo, featuring tracks like "Blisters," was released in July 2026.

his week, I'm joined by Tonino Baliardo, the legendary guitarist, composer, and founding member of the Gipsy Kings, for a conversation celebrating more than four decades of unforgettable music.

Tonino discusses the inspiration behind Historia, the latest album from Gipsy Kings featuring Tonino Baliardo, and how it reflects the band's remarkable musical journey while honoring the sound and traditions that made them a global phenomenon. We also talk about Gipsy Kings featuring Tonino Baliardo, the new documentary directed by Joel Van der Molen, which takes viewers behind the music to tell the incredible story of the band's rise from busking on the beaches of Saint-Tropez to becoming one of the world's most successful and influential world music acts.

In our conversation, Tonino also shares what it's like creating and performing alongside his family, why passing the music on to the next generation is so important, and how that family bond continues to shape the future of the Gipsy Kings' legacy.

Whether you've loved classics like "Bamboléo," "Djobi Djoba," and "Volare" for years or are discovering their music through Historia, this is an inspiring conversation about family, tradition, perseverance, and a lifetime dedicated to music that transcends borders.

Special Thanks to Heather Hawke from Reybee Inc for setting up the interview and Matthew Parker for his translation services.
