Steve Hansgen was a bass player in the hardcore band Minor Threat, joining them in the fall of 1982 to allow bassist Brian Baker to switch over to second guitar.[1]

Hansgen appeared on the Out of Step EP but left Minor Threat when the founding members decided to return the band to its original configuration.

Hansgen later formed Second Wind with Minor Threat roadie Rich Moore and also had a three piece hardcore band with Minor Threat guitarist Brian Baker called Middle Aged Brigade.

Hansgen also worked with Tool, in 1992 on the production of their first EP - Opiate.[2]

Steve Hansgen recently joined Mike Dolfi, Boyd Farrell and Phil Ricche in the band Rustbuckit. Farrell and Dolfi are veterans of the Washington D.C. punk band Black Market Baby, while Ricche was a founding member of D.C. pop-punk band The Intentions. Rustbuckit played a number of shows in the Washington DC area in Spring 2009, and announced upcoming Summer 2009 appearances in the Washington DC metropolitan area. A May 2009 entry on the band's official website announced that Hansgen had recorded tracks for an upcoming release, and in June 2009 the website announced that a final approved master of the album Male Pattern Badness, featuring Hansgen, had been shipped for final pressing. No release date has been announced. Steve Hansgen has a wife that works in performing arts, a seven-year old son.
