#17 - Gecko's Bringing Funky-Punky Chaos to the Show

This week we're excited to welcome funky-punky-rock band Gecko onto the No Socks Podcast! In an era of singles and EPs, Gecko defied the norm by debuting with a full-length album earlier this year, and this chaotic trio are just getting started. We talk songwriting processes, best gig spots in town, how they recorded a whole album in a rehearsal studio(!), and we go deep into their debut album "Miss." Will we finally embrace the No Socks name and talk feet? Well, with a song called "Toesucker" anything can happen. It's all a miss-tery.

He's a talented (and honest) man who harnesses the power of indie rock and synths to construct banging music about love, friendship and confusion. On this episode, we discuss his origins in the Sydney music scene, how he's bringing a unique DIY aesthetic to his music, and the meaning behind his song "Chris Rock" (hint: it may involve salt lamps). You better grab something acidic, because we're about to get salty.

#13 - The Clever References Are Melbourne's Next Big Hit

This week we're adding an extra four doses of clever with the eclectic indie rock band, The Clever References. They've been tearing up the Melbourne scene with a unique brand of music that'll occupy your brain space for more time than you'll be willing to admit. We discuss how The Clever References came to be, their distinct love of Melbourne, and how they've managed to thrive despite roadblocks and limited resources. Also, Sam (Gallagath) is back on the desk! But will the rest of the band make it too? And will Pat be able to end the episode, or will the hijinks be too hot to handle? Their latest single "Will We Ever Meet Each Other Ever Again" is out now on Spotify or wherever you listen to music.
