Matt Lukin (b. August 16, 1964) was a founder and bassist for the Melvins, with whom he recorded Mangled Demos from 1983, Six Songs (later 8 Songs, 10 Songs and then 26 Songs), and Gluey Porch Treatments. Following the band's temporary dissolution, Lukin stayed in Washington to form the grunge band Mudhoney. Of the other members of the Melvins, Buzz Osborne moved to San Francisco and Dale Crover stayed in Aberdeen to help with the bands Nirvana and Really Soon. Later, when Osborne and Crover reconnected in California, Lorax became Lukin's replacement. Lukin left Mudhoney in June 1999, but rejoined the band in December 2000 for a tour that lasted through January 2001. Currently he works as a carpenter in the Seattle area.
Lukin is featured with Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic in a home video shot on Novoselic's Super 8 camera.
He is the eponym of Pearl Jam's song "Lukin". Lead singer Eddie Vedder dedicated the band's 29 August 2006 performance of the song in De Gelredome, Arnhem to Lukin and his wife. In doing so, Vedder said that Lukin had married a Dutch woman, Manon, whom he met in the Tivoli Club in Utrecht, the Netherlands, and that the couple has been together in Seattle since. Vedder's dedication can be heard on that show's official bootleg recording.
