| | Destination: Love: Live! At Cold Rice CD (1996)
 $9.99  
The Make-Up's debut album, Destination: Love, was recorded in concert, which is appropriate. Where most bands focus on writing tight songs or ambitious musical interludes, the Make-Up creates music where the style is the substance. They're about sex, energy, and ...

| Sound Verite CD (1997)
$12.29
For their first studio album, the Make-Up brought in producer Calvin Johnson, one of the leaders of the International Pop Underground the Make-Up is identified with. Johnson keeps the sound raw and ragged, which suits the band's kinetic, half-ironic, and ...

For 1998's In Mass Mind, their second studio album and fourth long-player overall, the Make-Up recruited Adam & Eve -- a.k.a. Royal Trux's Neil Hagerty and Jennifer Herrema -- for production duties. As evidenced by the album's warm, detailed sound, ...

Make-Up Biography
Nation Of Ulysses were one of the early alt-rock era's most beloved--and politically charged--underground acts. But by 1995, leery of being lumped into the emerging trend of indie rock, frontman Ian Svenonious, guitarist/organist James Canty, and drummer Steve Gamboa decided to form a gospel-revival act called Make-Up (dubbing their style "Gospel Yeh-Yeh") that focused on live performance. Joined by ex-Frumpies bassist Michelle Mae, the four developed a confrontational approach while maintaining a slick style. Between 1995 and 2000, the quarter produced several releases, both live and studio, for K and Dischord Records, cementing their legacy in the D.C. post-hardcore lexicon. They disbanded at the turn of the century, however, after sensing that other groups were emulating their style, and that their mission had run its course.
