Suicidal Tendencies will celebrate their 40th anniversary this November with an Australian tour, which will see the band hit Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. They will perform their 1983 self-titled debut album in its entirety on what is being billed as the Still Cyco Punk After All These Years tour.

The band has shared the following message:

"Wow, It's been 30 years since the firST time ST toured in AuSTralia as support for Alice and Chains! That was an amazing tour and of course loved being in AuSTralia and it was the STart of making lots of good mates down under over the years.

It's now been several years since we were last there and we're definitely excited to go back. Tried to do it the 'traditional' way and realized if we wanted to to there, we'd have to do it ourselves. This isn't ideal, but they say, 'where there's a will there's a way,' and the only way was with some good mates stepping up (one in particular, but more on that later). That said, below the show dates, venues and ticket links/info are up for 4 dates ST will be playing the entire firST album. We never got a chance to do that back in the day, but we're gonna bring it and a few other surprises."

Back in April, Suicidal Tendencies announced that they had parted ways with drummer Brandon Pertzborn. His replacement is Greyson Nekrutman.

Brandon shared the news writing: "For the past (almost) two years, I’ve been so unbelievably fortunate to play with the almighty Suicidal Tendencies. Musically and personally, it’s been some of the best times of my life. Every single person in the band/crew will be lifelong friends of mine and they have all filled my heart with joy these past couple years.

I’ve learned so much during my time with ST - as a person, and as a musician. As a person, I can’t say enough good things about everyone in this camp - it’s a true family. As a musician, the amount of growth I’ve experienced is priceless. I mean, come on - you can’t be in a band with Mike Muir and not end up being pushed as a musician and come out better than you were before.

The thing about life is, there comes a time when you have to make decisions - hard decisions - and they’re never based on one factor alone; they’re based on many factors: where you are in life, where you’ve been, where you want to go, what’s best for you at the time, what you think the future will look like, and so many other personal factors. And with this, I’ve made the difficult decision to leave Suicidal Tendencies.

Rest assured, the band will still be firing on all cylinders. My boy, Greyson Nekrutman is an absolute monster and is going to KILL it with ST. They all have my full love and support.

As for me, I’ll have more news soon! I ain’t stepping away from drumming anytime soon. In the meantime, I can’t thank everyone involved enough in Suicidal Tendencies for everything. Man, what an honor it’s been. I’ll always look back on this time and smile."

Greyson Nekrutman shared the following: "My next chapter. @suicidaltendencies  It’s an absolute honor to fill such an iconic drum throne. It wouldn’t be possible without my brother @brandonpertzborn and I can’t thank him enough for passing down the torch. He is an incredible role model and I am so excited for everyone to find out what he has next!"

Suicidal Tendencies frontman, Mike Muir, states: Saturday night in Philadelphia headlining the Decibel Metal Fest was an absolute blast!
Lots of great times and memories, but a little sadness too. Usually we'd post some pictures of the live show or video, but this is a picture of me with 2 of finest people and bad ass drummers you'll see.

Being in Suicidal I've had the honor of being on stage and recording with some absolutely amazing musicians. Having Brandon Pertzborn on drums the last couple of years has been such a pleasure. ST has had so many incredible drummers and he just STepped up and killed it behind the kit. But away from the drums he was such an absolute joy to work with and be around. Always a smile, no situation every got him done, always up for every challenge. I will definitely miss touring with him, but I'm extremely happy for him as he goes off to a new challenge.

With that said, I'd like to thank him publicly for being such a great person, besides being a beaST on drums. We'll definitely cross musical paths in the future, but more importantly I'm happy to have him as a friend.

So, that leads us to Greyson Nekrutman.

Awhile back my good friend and killer bass player Josh Paul and I were discussing some young musicians for a project and Greyson was brought up. It was easy to do a little research and be blown away by his drum playing. Massively impressive. But awhile back I had the opportunity to talk to him for awhile on the phone and was even more impressed by him as a person and his takes on music and life.
I already knew what an insanely talented drummer he was. But usually behind incredible talent is a hell of a lot of hard work, determination and conviction.

Suicidal Tendencies is super excited to introduce Greyson as our new drummer. Starting next month at Welcome to Rockville, Greyson will be "driving the bus" and we're all stoked to head on the ride together.

We'll have more info on Greyson, ST and our plans going forward, but for now, please give a thank you to Brandon and a big ST welcome to Greyson! STay STrong, STay Cyco!" - Mike Muir SxTx
