About 10 years ago Mannequin Pussy bubbled up from the percolating Philly rock scene. Formed by guitarist/singer Marisa “Missy” Dabice and drummer Athanasios Paul, their primary calling card was a stinging combination of snippy and sizzling ragers.

The lineup was eventually filled out with Drew Adler (drums) and Colins “Bear” Regisford (bass). (Paul moved to lead guitar in 2013 and Kaleen Reading took over for drums in 2015. Ultimately, Paul left earlier this year after recording Perfect.)

Over the course of three albums and a remarkable brand-new EP, the band’s sound has expanded, evolved, and deepened with more engaging melodies, gallant songwriting, and stouter song structures. Through time, gigs, and reps, Mannequin Pussy progressed beyond the linear rage often dished by young punks. The brazen, brash, locomotive charm in Marisa’s lyrics and the band’s expansive sound has become fully complemented by a refined approach with smoother, swelling dynamics and sharper care of their craft.

Touring in support of late 2019’s Patience and the pandemic-produced 2021 EP Perfect (both released on Epitpah Records), Mannequin Pussy’s Dabice and Regisford invited PG to Nashville’s High Watt for a gear chat before their sold-out show during their first-ever headlining run. Just ahead of soundcheck, Missy gushed about her first P-90 guitar, while “Bear” admits that his Player Precision proves he should’ve always been a P dude. And they each detonate the boom with their own strategic stomp of stank.

(Sadly, shortly after this Rundown was filmed, on October 23, Mannequin Pussy had their van, gear, and band merch stolen from outside their Akron, Ohio hotel room. Brooklyn Vegan ([ Ссылка ]) chronicled the disaster with some MP Instagram posts and a link to their GoFundMe page ([ Ссылка ]). Thankfully, the van and some merch have been recovered, however, all their equipment is still missing.)
