Their 1977 song "Burn It Down" inspired a short film directed by rock video pioneer Chuck Statler, which featured the burning of a house the band had used for rehearsing for several years. The band was a headline act at the Minnesota State Fair in 2007; their music was used for a Target commercial in 2004. Ahl and Osgood were street corner musicians in St. Paul for the 2008 Republican convention. On January 17th, 2009 the Suicide Commandos played a benefit at Nick & Eddie in Minneapolis for Laura Kennedy, bassist and founding member of the seminal NYC no-wave band the Bush Tetras, who recently received a liver transplant. David Thomas of Pere Ubu was guest vocalist.
