 Stacy Maisenbach was born in Ventura California, later moving to Sonoma County. She worked at Stanroy's Music in Santa Rosa to earn money for her first bass guitar. Stacy had always had a love for rhythm, so the bass was a natural choice. A few of her major influences have been John Paul Jones, Cliff Burton, Tom Araya and Trevor Dunn.
She joined her first band Skitzo in 1990. From there on she has played in bands from poppy punk ,metal, cover bands, and most recently a goth rock band. Her love of seeing people have a great time and get into the music has kept her very busy, playing out as much as she can and with as many diverse bands as possible.
The list of bands she has lent a hand to include Skitzo, Spat, Fluff Grrl, Chix Pack, The Minks, Triple Cobra, Cookie Mongoloid, Violent Discharge and Saints Of Ruin. She recently went to New Orleans to perform at Anne Rices Vampire Ball. Stacy is looking forward to touring Europe very soon. Check out Stacy
