American Princes bassist Luke Hunsicker, second from left, died Monday. He was diagnosed with brain cancer last year.
An open letter from the band on the passing of Luke Hunsicker
Dear Friends of American Princes,
It is with sadness and regret that we write you to tell you of the passing of our dear friend and bassist Luke Hunsicker.
All of you who were lucky enough to meet and to get to know Luke know what an incredible person he was. He charmed each and every one of us with his unfailing kindness, his humor, his openness, and his calm and gentle manner, which he maintained even in the most difficult situations. Those of you who have spent time on the road know just what an important quality that is.
And, as you all know, Luke was a unique and brilliant musician. His playing-style was like no one else’s. The melodies and bass lines he wrote contributed as much or more to American Princes’ sound than anything else. We know that without Luke, we never would have been able to accomplish the things that we did.
Since Luke’s diagnosis of brain cancer last year, we have had the unfortunate experience of having to play some shows without him. We’ve always known, of course, that Luke was irreplaceable as a member of our band, but it was also clear that he is indispensable. Life on the road without Luke was not the same. We missed his humor, his great attitude, and his ability to sleep in the van, no matter how loud we played the stereo.
His knack for befriending anyone he met helped us make so many good friends on the road. We will never forget the time that Luke, dressed in a too-small Santa Claus outfit in order to dance onstage with The Flaming Lips, chatted up a somewhat-freaked-out-looking Alex Chilton backstage at Centennial Park in Atlanta. We can safely say that Luke was an enemy to no one, and a friend to everyone.
We want everyone to know that while Luke went through his cancer treatment he maintained an incredible attitude. He and his wonderful wife Sydney were always open to friends and visitors and kept a positive outlook through times that could have seemed very bleak to ordinary human beings. Luke expressed laughter and cheer, even up until the last week of his life. And, the two of them were always open with everyone about Luke’s cancer and the treatments he was going through. In short, Luke and Sydney showed no fear. We feel as though they demonstrated to us how to face our struggles with levity and bravery. Their positive attitude was infectious, and it left us all knowing that everything is going to be okay.
On Monday we lost Luke, but we know that he left us all with our wonderful memories of the great person that he was. He was one of the best human beings we have ever known. We are better people for having known him. And, we will have that with us as long as we live.
Love,
American Princes

Admit it, you’ve heard of Messy Sparkles, JD Paul, man about town, house show regulator, George’s go-to afterparty starter, pet lover.
You’ve danced beside him at a party without realizing it, you’ve seen him on YouTube jamming with the Mystic Valley Band or you’ve met him at a bookstore and discussed stealing turtles.
You’ve most definitely seen him drumming for Memphis Pencils and Apartment 5. You’ve thought about inviting him to Chuck E. Cheese.
Messy Sparkles’ songs work as instant buzz songs or as a soundtrack for a walk through the woods. Layers reveal themselves to you by replaying in your head on bike rides and late night swims. Songs such as “Thank God” and “Feeling Good Forever” work on many levels and are worthy of repeat listenings for a real life dance party or an imaginary one, where you’re not awkward and Michael Jackson is alive and well. RIYL having a good time, nude walks in the woods, strobe lights, hummus or choreographed dreaming.
I asked JD 20 questions …
1. Have you found or stolen a turtle yet?
A: Sadly, I have not, But I am going to start getting a nice little turtle home ready so whenever I do Find/Buy/Or steal (free from a pet store), the little guy will have a cozy home with lots of love.
2. Do you have a secret place? Where is it?
A: Secret Pool is my secret place. And it is a secret. And by that I am trying to say I don’t really know how to get there.
3. Favorite restaurant?
A: PETRA CAFE
4. Favorite ’80s dance move?
A: Moonwalk
5. Describe a good day?
A: Wake up/ Farmers market/Lunch at Petra/play music with some friends/go for a scooter ride/play some more music/drink some beer/play some more music/sleep.
6. Favorite subject?
A: In school? Probably P.E. Or Art.
7. Name drop your favorite person, feel free to talk them up.
A: Rick Moranis. The glasses, the calculator watch, the brilliant films, the goofy/nerdy/shy/ but I still get the girl anyway! Luh dat guy.
8. Review the last movie you saw.
A: Just saw “Inception.” Really weird and awesome. But I don’t think my subconscious would shoot people.
9. “Harry Potter,” “Twilight” or “Narnia”?
A: Harry Potter
10. Who is the funniest person alive right now?
A: Taylor (par-tay-tay) Wyatt
11. What do you read in the bathroom?
A: Either Vice or the newspaper
12. What did you want to be when you were 12 years old?
A: It was a three-way tie between a Professional basketball player, Olympic trampoline-ist, Or a mega famous rock and roll drummer.
13. Have you ever purchased a fake mustache from Southside IGA?
A: No, but I have purchased a fake mustache from Pizza Hut on School Street, Cheap Thrills and with tickets at Lokomotion.
14. What does JD stand for?
A: John David Paul is my full name, all first names, all from the Bible.
15. Favorite local band? Why?
A: A tie between Perpetual Werewolf, Niall, Timber!, and Any of the projects that Brian Wolf has made.
16. Explain Messy Sparkles?
A: Messy Sparkles is me with midi, drums, samplers, mouth sounds, singing, noise makers, lights, colorful decorations and some gnarly dance moves.
17. What have you been writing songs about lately?
A: My friends, dreams and what I hope the future does and does not bring.
18. Will there be a Messy Sparkles record in the future?
A: Definitely, it’s almost done!
19. When is your next show?
A: George’s Majestic Lounge for the Ghostland Observatory and STS9 afterparty on Sept. 2.
20. Ask readers a question of your own.
A: OK, readers: What is the definition of a good person in your opinion? E-mail me at messysparkles@gmail.com.
