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.

It's a big week as pop-rock singer-songwriter extraordinaire Louise Gaul joins us at the desk, with Jeremy making a surprise hosting return to share in on the action. We're talking Louise's love of mainstream pop, her experience with the Kool Skools program, and we delve into everything you need to know about her songwriting and production process. It's time to break Pro Tools with your vocal stacking obsession, and load up your favourite virtual instrument, because this time we're taking our orchestrations to the max. Who receives a spontaneous therapy session? Will Pat and Louise start a Damien Rice fanclub on-air? If you're looking for answers, you've come to the right place. It's Episode #16 of No Socks and we're glad to have you.

On this episode of the No Socks Podcast, regular hosts Pat and Caitlyn are joined by the multi-talented pop icon LIVSKA, who's making dreamy pop beats right from her bedroom studio in Melbourne. The crew talk COVID battles, songwriting, exercising with Chris Hemsworth, and the challenges of performing solo. Meanwhile, we get into Liv's love of Muse, and her humble beginnings in GarageBand. Finally, in keeping with the spirit of No Socks, a tangent or two sees Pat reminiscing about... kindergarten.

Returning from an unscheduled break in operations, the microphones are plugged in, the cameras are rolling, and we're welcoming HONEST DAN into the No Socks fold! 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.

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.

This week, alt-rocker Cammi Kol is here to talk comfort zones, family, and… fingernails? She’s about to find out she has more in common with Caitlyn-Caity-Cait Sith than she thought. Meanwhile, we learn that Pat cringes at happiness and somebody licks their mic. Oh— and join us for an exclusive listening party as Cammi Kol debuts her upcoming single “Jasper”!

On this week's episode of the No Socks Podcast, we're sweating it up with psychedelic folk artist Dom Brinkley: a Collarts graduate (Collai) and killer guitarist and songwriter ripping up the Melbourne scene. We're talking COVID cancellations, influences, the pros and cons of tertiary study, and the trials and philosophies of teaching guitar.

Dom is performing at the Workers Club in Melbourne on Wednesday, March 30th!

Today we're answering some popular questions musicians get asked in interviews. Regular hosts Pat and Caitlyn are joined by Mikhala, Jeremy and Brandon on the table. We're talking bad performances, our problems with the music industry, and the best advice we've ever been given. Will Pat make another obscure reference? Will Jeremy be in focus? Is Brandon even here? All shall be answered (one pass allowed).

The No Socks crew sit down together for another episode of the podcast. This time, we're introducing our newest member Mikhala, who enlightens us with words of motivation. Also on the show are Jeremy and Sabrina (who you might remember from our second episode)! We're talking new projects, organisation, wisdom teeth, elusive keyboard players, and more. Will we descend into chaos... or could this be our most coherent episode yet?
