Luke Buda

"Like a bolt of neon orange lightning, Luke Buda emerges from the back of beyond riding a cosmic wave of synth romance. He pulled back the Iron Curtain in 1987, only to discover mince pies in the South Seas - now he dreams of a brighter tomorrow.Writes songs, sings, plays guitar and keys and dances a mean jig for Indie prog rock pop outfit The Phoenix Foundation. Based in Wellington, Aotearoa, TPF have thus far warmly offered the following: the China Cove EP (Lovely Horse 2001), and two LPs; Horsepower (Capital Recordings 2002) and Pegasus (FMR 2005).Desire and loneliness provided the inspiration for Buda's first solo project, a 'mini' album, humourously (yet earnestly) entitled 'The C-Sides', which was initially released by the artist himself in 2002 and subsequently re-released by Slow Boat Records. His first full-length solo album 'Special Surprise' was released by Arch Hill Recordings in 2006, and betrays the musician's current state (of domestic bliss-ish-ness) and political leanings (decidedly to the left)."Created with mySpace Profile Editor
