Andy and the Odd Socks
Day also fronts a pop-rock band that makes songs for children, called Andy and the Odd Socks. Originally a studio-based project with Andy and the music producers Rob David and Dan Delor, a full band was formed to enable Andy to perform the songs live (rather than to a backing track as he'd previously done with his Dinosaur Rap performances). The full band was first formed in June 2017 at the Glastonbury festival and have performed at other festivals since.
In 2020 they formed the central characters of a CBBC TV show 'Andy and the Band', where the band would help solve fictional fan issues in a manner similar to

They have released 3 studio albums.
