Dan Lukacinsky, founding guitarist of The Suicide Machines, has sent Punknews this public statement regarding his non-involvement in the recent string of reunion shows, including a headlining spot at this year’s Fest.

Hey all,

I know that more than a few people are wondering why I am not and have not been involved in these recent Suicide Machines happenings. I’ve been asked several times so I felt that I needed to clarify, on my end, why I am not.

Over the course of the last year I was never contacted or even notified by any ex-band member that plans were being made to play shows under the name of The Suicide Machines. I find this very interesting as the vast majority of what they must be playing, if they were to put together any kind of a substantial set, would be my songs. Very interesting indeed. Takes me back to why I decided to walk away from it 4 years ago – disrespect issues.

At any rate what’s been going on recently is not a reunion. You need the core members to do that. That would be Jay Navarro and myself. Without both of us involved it cannot truly be called The Suicide Machines. If this is what the guys feel that they need to do then so be it. As for me – I continue to write songs for and play in The One Thought Moment. Exactly where I want to be.

Thanks for listening and thanks to my friends at PunkNews for being awesome!

– Dan

The band split in 2006 after a long career. Since then the members have been involved in many projects including Hellmouth, Hifi Handgrenades, One Thought Moment, Bayonetting the Wounded and more.

Andrew Jackson Jihad have released a four way split with Porches, Treasure Mammal and Father’s Day titled The Chronicles of Joe Arpaio. The split addresses the actions of said sheriff as well as the controversially unconstitutional Arizona SB 1070.

As most of you know there is a ton of crazy racist, anti american values, and racial profiling coming out of Arizona from SB 1070. Sheriff Joe is a big supporter of SB 1070, has been Americas Toughest Sheriff/ Americas biggest racist for years already and does unconstitutional acts on a very frequent basis . This record was made to inform people of Sheriff Joe and the injustices that are happening in Az, to stand up for our rights and exercise our freedom of speech.

The bands are also auctioning off a test pressing of the record and donating the proceeds to the migrant aid group No Mas Muertes. You can find that auction on EBay.

No Mas Muertes/No More Deaths is a coalition of communities and individuals of faith and conscience that works to end the suffering and deaths of migrants in the Arizona-Sonora borderlands. “We embrace an action plan that includes movable desert camps, support of migrant aid centers, maintenance of water stations, Samaritan patrols that search the desert for migrants in need, and advocacy on behalf of migrant-related issues.”

If you don’t know what SB 1070 is read up.
