Stand Up Stacy is a German pop-punk band from Munich , which was founded in 2012 by singer Uwe Kriegbaum under the name The Sexattacks in Penzberg . At the beginning of 2019, the band parted with the name, which was perceived as offensive, and based the new name on the advertising figure “Stand-Up Stacey” of the Land Transport Authority in Singapore. On April 17, 2020, the band released their debut album The Magnificent You with 11 tracks and gained notoriety beyond the German-speaking area. The band's trademark is their outfit, which consists of a white shirt, black pants, suspenders and a black bow tie .
