Episode 88 - Art Barrios (Audio Karate/Indian School/Sweet & Tender Hooligans)

The guest for episode 88 of The Keep It Posi Podcast is Art Barrios, lead singer and guitarist of Audio Karate, a punk rock band out of Rosemead, California. Additionally, Art also sings and plays guitar in Indian School and is the guitarist for Sweet & Tender Hooligans, a Smiths/Morrissey tribute band. In this episode, Art and I talked about the band’s latest release, '¡MALO!', how the vinyl pressing for 'Space Camp' led to a reunion, working with Bill Stevenson, the band’s first tour, and so much more! If you’re a fan of Audio Karate, I hope you learn something from this conversation because I sure did. To order '¡MALO!' on vinyl, you can do so at audiokaratestore.com.

This week, The Posi Spotlight is focused on The Downtown Women’s Center. Founded in 1978, The Downtown Women’s Center envisions a Los Angeles with every woman housed and on a path to personal stability. Its mission is to end homelessness for women in greater Los Angeles through housing, wellness, employment, and advocacy. After its launch, The Downtown Women’s Center was the first:

• Permanent supportive housing provider for women in the U.S.

• Critical Time Intervention provider in the Western U.S.

• Health clinic exclusively serving women in the Skid Row community (and we remain the only one today).

• Drop-in Day Center exclusively serving homeless women in the city of Los Angeles (and we remain the only one today).

To learn more or make a donation to The Downtown Women’s Center, you can visit downtownwomenscenter.org.
