The Long Drive Home is a Podcast about the many ways in which a gig can go wrong, presented by Alpha Male Tea Party (Greg, Tom and Ben). Being in a band is really cool and fun, right? Well, yeah, it is. But it's also absolutely crushing some times and we want to explore that because through tears and horror, there is laughter.

    "He was upended into a car and it whizzed off into the distance" - Gordon Moakes (Bloc Party/Young Legionnaire/The None)

    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.com AMTP live shows, music and merch: https://alphamaleteaparty.bandcamp.com/
