    Gipsy Kings featuring Tonino Baliardo

    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.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Zooki (Ex-Regrets)

    This week on The Austin Young Show, I sit down with Jennifer “Zooki” Sturges of Ex Regrets for an episode packed with passion, purpose, and new beginnings. We talk about the roots of Ex Regrets and how Zooki’s riot grrrl influences along with her work with queer, trans, and femme communities in North Texas have shaped the band’s sound and message. What’s coming up: Riot Girl Fest 2025 Zooki announces that Riot Girl Fest 2025 will be Saturday, October 4, 2025 at Growl Records in Arlington, Texas. The fest continues its mission of femme and queer empowerment, supporting several nonprofits and giving space to artists who demand to be heard. A world exclusive: The new zine Riot Girl Manifesto We get the first look at Zooki’s next big project, a brand new twelve page zine called Riot Girl Manifesto. It will debut in September in both print and online, with the intention of becoming a quarterly. She also reads the manifesto live in the episode, unpacking what it means, who it is for, and why it matters. Austin’s new segment: Lyrics as Shakespeare Monologue Austin debuts a brand new recurring segment where he reads band lyrics as though they were a dramatic Shakespearean monologue. Expect poetic pauses, iambic rhythm, and extra gravitas you did not know you needed. The first pick is an Ex Regrets track Burqini Kill that lands somewhere between howl and whisper. Make sure to like and subscribe to The Austin Young Show, and follow the Official Playlist to hear all the tracks we highlight and the bands we feature on Amazon and Apple Music.
