## Resource

Welcome back to At Least There's Fest and we are officially closing in on our 100th episode. We hope you've enjoyed this non-stop thrill ride as much as we have. Joining the show today is Rory Phillips from the Austin, TX band, The Impossibles. The band formed over 30 years ago and put both ska and non-ska records out on Fueled By Ramen back in the day. Rory walks us through the history of the band, why they left and why they are now coming back, the reason(s) for switching away from ska, and why they are so excited to be back. The group is playing Fest for the first time and will play their first shows outside of Texas in 25 years this coming August. **Itsa Coookie on Instagram** **Theme song "The Walk to Heartwood" by Jukebox Romantics**
