Originally a duo comprised of childhood friends Marisa "Missy" Dabice and Athanasios Paul, Philadelphia’s Mannequin Pussy has changed a lot over the years. Adding Kaleen Reading on drums and Colins "Bear" Regisford on bass, the group worked together to produce three albums before the departure of Paul in 2021. In 2023, the group added Maxine Steen to round out their numbers.
