The Philly punks are sounding hotter than ever, and they intend to see how far they can take their band in 2024
take the stage at Brooklyn Steel in front of a near-capacity crowd. A long line of fans is already stretching down the block, waiting for the doors to open. But the four members of the punk band are unable to focus on much right now besides their desperate desire to get some rest.
It’s a level of success that would have all but guaranteed big money flowing their way if Mannequin Pussy were a rock band in the Nineties. But things are different in 2023. Dabice drives around her adopted hometown of Philadelphia in a 2001 Saturn that looks like it’s held together with duct tape.
Around 2010, she formed Mannequin Pussy with guitarist Athanasios Paul, taking the band’s name from an offhand joke a friend had made back in Boulder. They began gigging in Brooklyn bars as a duo; in 2015, Reading — who spent years in the all-female metal tribute bands Judas Priestess and Miss-Tallica — signed on as their drummer. “Then we were like, ‘Why are we a three-piece with no low end? This is stupid,’” Dabice recalls. “We put out a call on Facebook looking for a bass player.
even if she can’t bear to revisit them today. “We don’t do those songs in the set anymore,” Dabice says softly, once the conversation has moved from the coffee shop to a nearby park bench. “But what I learned is that you just walk around with these feelings inside you, and if you don’t find a way to transform them, they eat at you like a poison.”song they still perform at nearly every show is “Drunk II,” about a different relationship that went south.
