Gordon Moakesby *SimpsonsCameos

Fan Art / Digital Art / Drawings / Movies & TV

Gordon Moakes (born June 22, 1976), educated at Ousedale school Newport Pagnell, Milton Keynes, is the bassist and backup vocalist for English art rock band Bloc Party. Moakes became a member after replying to an advertisement placed in a music magazine by Kele Okereke and Russell Lissack, asking for bass players to join their band. Although not originally a bassist, Lissack told him at their first rehearsal that Moakes was the only player to have auditioned that was able to play the bassline for the song that Okereke and Lissack had played to him (apparently titled "Life of the Party"). Moakes is credited with co-writing the lyrics (with Okereke) to several songs. Musically his bass playing is creative and often sparse, and usually involves very little playing until latter verses, such as in "Like Eating Glass" and "Banquet" where he plays very little in the first verses. Moakes also plays drums on a track called "Sunday" on Bloc Party's second album, A Weekend in the City. Moakes is often referred to as "Gordy".

Moakes also worked with yourcodenameis:milo on the track "Wait a Minute" taken from the album Print Is Dead Vol 1. "Wait a Minute" was released on a limited edition 7" single on October 4, 2006. The cover art was designed by Moakes himself.
