Live Photos: Luke Buda - The Wine Cellar, Auckland

The Phoenix Foundation co-founder Luke Buda (Moniker, Teeth) returned to Tāmaki Makaurau on Friday for a two set celebration of his 2021 solo album BUDA. Part of a whiplash, long-awaited nationwide tour squeezed into the latter portion of last week, the 2022 Taite Music Prize finalist was joined on stage for all dates by bandmate / regular collaborator Anita Clark (Motte). Respecting the organisers' request to not photograph Clark at The Wine Cellar gig, Dave Simpson turned in a superb selection of snaps documenting Buda performing songs from his latest record (plus selected TPF faves and more).
