Finally! I’ve been wanting to do this interview with my favorite Arizona rock/metal titans,
Sin Machine! This is my personal experience with the band and growing with them
throughout the years.

It’s been roughly about 14 years since I first saw Sin Machine at local biker bar in Tucson.
The audience, the atmosphere, the music, and that image of a demon Gerber baby’s face
strapped on each band member’s arm…it all felt like I was at a cult festival of musical
misfits. It was creepy, and yet, I was mesmerized at the same time. Sin Machine's sound
is a blistering and scrupulous blend of rock, punk, and a bit of metal, which is showcased
in their fantastically dynamic, energetic, and stimulating eye-candy of a stage show.

Just being in the same room watching the band perform gave me a rush of pure, adrenal
excitement. It is rare that a band commands my attention and keep me in my seat the entire
show. It seemed like every song contained a message just for me. What I loved about each
song’s composition were the hooks, which stayed in your mind and lingered long after the
show ended. After that first night, I was sold, and I became a fan of Sin Machine for life.
But what I truly loved about these guys was that after their performances, they left their
character on stage and they were the coolest, most fun, down to earth people with which
to hang out. But what I admire most about them is underneath all that, this band is truly
one of the hardest working bands I’ve had the pleasure to photograph and interview.

From that first meeting to now, December 2021, Sin Machine’s heart continues to beat,
and they are still delivering high-energy, entertaining live performances. Let’s see what
2022 brings for them.

And so, my talk with Sin Machine begins…
