Matt Lukin is featured in a home video shot on Krist Novoselic's Super 8 camera -- the video includes Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic and others (Matt Lukin included). Matt Lukin now works as a carpenter in the Seattle area.
The song "Lukin" by Pearl Jam was named after Matt Lukin.
Matt married a Dutch woman, Manon, whom he met in the Tivoli Club in Utrecht, The Netherlands. They have been together in Seattle ever since. Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder stated this before dedicating "Lukin" to the couple during Pearl Jam's performance on 29 August 2006 in De Gelredome, Arnhem. What he said can be heard on the Pearl Jam official bootleg of that same date on the song "Lukin."
