Mannequin Pussy: Rock Band in New York

About Mannequin Pussy

Mannequin Pussy is a Philadelphia punk and indie-rock group that formed in 2010, working in the overlap of riot grrrl, queercore, and indie punk. The core lineup centers on vocalist Marisa “Missy” Dabice with Kaleen Reading on drums, alongside Colins “Bear” Regisford and Maxine Steen on guitar; multi-instrumentalist Carolyn Haynes joins them onstage. Their live sets move between blunt melodic hooks and sudden bursts of volume, favoring directness over spectacle. In the New York area, they bring that approach to rooms like Starland Ballroom, including bills with Lip Critic.
