60 Minutes or less - Episode 40 - Gordon Moakes (The None / Bloc Party)

Welcome to ’60 Minutes or less’ - the podcast from Birthday Cake For Breakfast - where for episode 40, we mark a bit of a milestone as we feature an interview with Gordon Moakes. In a former life, he was better known as the bassist in Bloc Party, but has since gone on to form and play in dynamite outfits like The None and Young Legionnaire.

No stranger to the pages of Birthday Cake For Breakfast, we’ve spoke with Gordon many times about the goings on of Young Legionnaire. Latest outfit The None - featuring players from Cassels, Youth Man and Frauds - are more of a recent endeavour and over the past year have put out three releases, the latest of which is a raging, pretty much sold out everywhere 7”. We thought it only right to have Gordon come on the podcast to tell us all about it.

It’s not just the current though - In 2025, Bloc Party celebrate the 20th Anniversary of their debut album ‘Silent Alarm’ - which means it’s been twenty years since yours truly was sticking the album in his CD walkman on the regular, obsessing over it on bus journeys to college and such. Given the anniversary, we had to drop in the occasional question about it, which he was more than happy to get into.

It started though, as all good podcasts do, with an update on the health of his cat. Keep listening till the very, very end by the way for some bonus snooker waffle about Steve Davis!
