Since the ‘sexpose’ in Issue#7 on The Phoenix Foundation and the personal life of Luke Buda, things have been humming along nicely. Luke’s solo record “Special Surprise” is coming out on Arch Hill records in March and it’s a corker. To me (and I am biased having known the man for 15 years) it’s a personal journey through Luke’s life with his sweetheart Sarah and their road to the birth of an awesome little chap called Moses. It sounds like Duran Duran if they were heaps better and didn’t take any coke.
 Phoenix put out “Pegasus” in mid 2005 on FMR records which was swiftly gobbled up by Warners. How the fck did that happen? Ah well FMR was owned by news corp anyway so I guess we have jumped from one evil pillar of society to a pillar of equal or lesser evil. Although Warners is much more ‘the big scary record company’ ... something this group has always been wary of. The album has done great though and we are gonna take our shtick to New York and London in May/June to show those bastards that you don’t need skinny legs and cool hair to make good guitar music.
 I have also made a solo record under the guise of my project ‘Bunnies On Ponies’. It’s called “The Cobra In The Carpet” and is quite folky sorta but not really.
