"He was upended into a car and it whizzed off into the distance" - Gordon Moakes (Bloc Party/Young Legionnaire/The None)
Episode 15
Monday, 25 May, 2026

Here's yet another episode, and this time we have our second Mercury Music Prize nominee! It's Gordon Moakes off of that Bloc Party lot, you know the ones. He also plays/has played with with the rather excellent Young Legionnaire and The None too. I (Ben) got to nerd off about Bloc Party and his bass playing, before he went into some hilarious and harrowing tales of touring the globe, including a support run with Panic! at the Disco and playing the MTV Awards in Brazil. It's a fun one!Gordon's website - https://moakesy.com/Contact the show: thelongdrivehomepodcast@gmail.comAMTP live shows, music and merch: https://alphamaleteaparty.bandcamp.com/
