Moakes became a member of Bloc Party after responding to an advertisement placed in the NME music magazine by Kele Okereke and Russell Lissack, who were seeking a bassist. Although not originally a bassist, Moakes was the only player the band auditioned who was able to play the bassline for a song that Okereke and Lissack had presented. In 2002, Moakes, Lissack, and Okereke formed the first incarnation of Bloc Party – then known as The Angel Range – and played shows across London. Moakes also ran and updated the band's website at the time.
Moakes shared co-writing credits with Okereke on some of the band's earlier lyrics. In the early days of the band, he contributed lyrics mostly to the band's more political songs, and he composed the song "Diet". Moakes added new instruments to his repertoire on Bloc Party's second and third albums, A Weekend in the City and Intimacy respectively. He played drums on "Sunday", electronic drums on "Ares", glockenspiel on "Waiting for the 7.18" and "SRXT" and a microKORG synthesizer on "Flux". His voice can be heard in many of the band's songs, often in contrast with Okereke's lead vocals.
Moakes remixed the band's song "Talons" from their album Intimacy. It was featured as a part of the single download as well as appearing as the B-side to its vinyl release.
In 2015, Moakes confirmed that he had left the band to focus on Young Legionnaire. He was replaced by Justin Harris later in the year. Moakes resided in Austin, Texas for several years but currently resides in London, England with his wife and children.
Other works
Moakes worked with yourcodenameis:milo on the track "Wait a Minute" from the album Print Is Dead Vol 1. "Wait a Minute" was released on a limited edition 7" single on 4 October 2006. Moakes designed the cover art.
In December 2009, Moakes, Paul Mullen (vocalist and guitarist of The Automatic) and William Bowerman (drummer of La Roux) worked in the studio together on a new side project, with Bloc Party on hiatus and both The Automatic and La Roux inactive over the Christmas break. In January 2010, the group were revealed to be named Young Legionnaire and were set to play their first show at the end of January in London.

The Colour and the Shape is the second studio album by American rock band Foo Fighters, released on May 20, 1997, through Roswell and Capitol Records. It marked the official debut of the Foo Fighters as a band, as their eponymous 1995 debut album was primarily recorded by frontman Dave Grohl and producer Barrett Jones as a demo. After the debut became an international success, Grohl recruited guitarist Pat Smear, bassist Nate Mendel, and drummer William Goldsmith to form the band's full lineup. The group convened in the fall of 1996 for pre-production on a second album, and brought in Gil Norton as producer to establish a pop sensibility for the tracks. The band strived to create a full-fledged rock record, contrary to music press predictions that it would be another grunge offshoot.
Primarily inspired by Grohl's divorce from photographer Jennifer Youngblood in 1996, The Colour and the Shape is more lyrically introspective and musically developed than the Foo Fighters' debut. The album's track listing was designed to resemble a therapy session, splitting the album between uptempo tracks and ballads to reflect conflicting emotions. Early sessions at the Bear Creek Studio in Washington went poorly and the band discarded most of those recordings. The band regrouped without Goldsmith in early 1997 to record at Hollywood's Grandmaster Recordings studio, with Grohl sitting in on drums instead. Goldsmith was offended and disgruntled that most of his material had been re-recorded, and he left the band shortly thereafter.
The singles "Monkey Wrench", "Everlong", and "My Hero" peaked within the top ten of US rock radio charts, and the album charted at number ten on the Billboard 200. The album was also a commercial success on an international level, peaking at number three in the United Kingdom. Critics deemed the album a significant American rock release of its era, and in retrospective assessments it continues to be viewed as a seminal modern rock album. It was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1998 for Best Rock Album. The Colour and the Shape remains the Foo Fighters' biggest seller in the U.S., having sold more than two million copies according to Nielsen SoundScan. The album was remastered and reissued in 2007 with several bonus tracks for its tenth anniversary.
The Colour and the Shape was Foo Fighters' last album to be released and marketed by Capitol Records. After the band, along with their label Roswell Records, signed to RCA Records, its distribution, along with their eponymous debut album, has switched to RCA.

Nascido em 1964, o pai de Rourke era irlandês enquanto a sua mãe era inglesa. Ele recebeu uma viola de seus pais quando tinha sete anos de idade. Aos 11 anos ele fez amizade com um jovem John Maher (o futuro Johnny Marr) com quem compartilhava um interesse pela música. A dupla passava os intervalos para o almoço na escola improvisando e tocando nas suas guitarras. Quando Marr formou uma banda, convidou Rourke (ainda um guitarrista) para experimentar o baixo, pelo qual se apaixonou e ficou com ele desde então.
Aos 15 anos Rourke abandonou a escola. Passou por uma série de empregos domésticos e tocou guitarra e baixo em várias bandas de rock, bem como na banda funk de curta duração Freak Party, com seu amigo de escola Johnny Marr.
Marr mais tarde juntou-se a Morrissey para formar os Smiths. Rourke juntou-se à banda após o seu primeiro show e permaneceu durante a maior parte da sua existência. Rourke foi brevemente afastado da banda, supostamente recebendo a notícia num bilhete deixado sob o limpador de parabrisas do seu carro: "Andy, você deixou os Smiths. Boa sorte e adeus, Morrissey". Morrissey negou isso. Em maio de 1986, Rourke voltou para os Smiths, pouco antes de gravar The Queen Is Dead. Marr descreveu a contribuição de Rourke para esse álbum como "algo que nenhum outro baixista poderia igualar". Os Smiths lançaram Strangeways, Here We Come em 1987 para aclamação da crítica, mas dividiram-se logo em seguida.
Imediatamente após o rompimento, Rourke e o baterista dos Smiths, Mike Joyce, tocaram com Sinéad O'Connor - Rourke (mas não Joyce) aparece no álbum I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got (1990). Junto com Craig Gannon, eles forneceram a secção rítmica para dois singles do ex-vocalista dos Smiths Morrissey - "Interesting Drug" e "The Last of the Famous International Playboys" (ambos de 1989). Rourke também tocou baixo em "November Spawned a Monster" e "Piccadilly Palare" (ambos de 1990) e compôs a música para os singles de Morrissey "Yes, I Am Blind" (o lado B de "Ouija Board, Ouija Board", 1989); "Girl Least Likely To" (um lado B no single de 12 de "November Spawned a Monster"; também lançado como faixa bônus na reedição de Viva Hate em 1997); e "Get Off the Stage" (o lado B de "Picadilly Palare").
Rourke também tocou e gravou com a banda The Pretenders (aparecendo nalgumas das faixas de Last of the Independents de 1994); Killing Joke, Badly Drawn Boy (com quem Rourke fez uma turnê por dois anos), Aziz Ibrahim (ex-Stone Roses) e ex-guitarrista do Oasis Bonehead como Moondog One, que também incluía Mike Joyce e Craig Gannon. Rourke também tocou baixo para Ian Brown, tanto em turnê quanto no álbum de Brown, The World Is Yours.
Em março de 1996, Rourke e Mike Joyce iniciaram processos judiciais contra Morrissey e Marr por royalties. Enquanto Joyce continuou com a ação, Rourke resolveu fora do tribunal por £ 83 000. Tendo gasto o acordo, Rourke mais tarde foi declarado falido na sequência de uma petição da Receita Federal em 25 de janeiro de 1999.
Rourke formou o supergrupo Freebass com os baixistas Gary Mounfield (ex-Stone Roses) e Peter Hook (ex-New Order) em 2007 e permaneceu ativo no grupo até agosto de 2010. No início de 2009, ele mudou-se para a cidade de Nova York, onde teve um programa na East Village Radio e trabalhava como DJ de clube, com Olé Koretsky, sob o nome de Jetlag. Isso levou Rourke e Koretsky a formarem a banda D.A.R.K. com a vocalista Dolores O'Riordan dos The Cranberries. O trio lançou o seu primeiro álbum, Science Agrees, em 9 de setembro de 2016.Postado por Fernando Martins às 03:00 0 comentários

Murmur is the debut studio album by American alternative rock band R.E.M., released on April 12, 1983, by I.R.S. Records. The album was recorded in the winter of 1983 at Reflection Studios in Charlotte, North Carolina, with musicians Don Dixon and Mitch Easter serving as producers. Murmur drew critical acclaim upon its release for its unconventional sound, defined by lead singer Michael Stipe's cryptic lyrics, guitarist Peter Buck's jangly playing, and bassist Mike Mills's melodic basslines. In 2003, the album was ranked number 197 in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time". It retained the position in the 2012 list and was raised to number 165 in the 2020 revision.
