CD Description
The influential genre-bending quintet is captured live in a2000 show in Washington, D.C., in a typical high-energy setthat mixes psychedelia, art-rock, and R&B in the inspired "Every Baby Cries the Same", the raucous "They Live By Night", and their reworking of the classic "Wade in the Water".
Customer Reviews
An essential live document of the DC rockers.
Emerging from the ashes of Washington, D.C. outfit, Nation of Ulysses, Make Up formed in 1995 to bring their self-styled ‘liberation theology’ to an increasingly cynical world with a genre of music that they termed ‘Gospel Yeh Yeh’.
Untouchable Sound captures the band live at the Black Cat Club in Washington, D.C. on an undisclosed night in 2000. The set is made up of classic singles like, Hey! Orpheus, Born On The Floor and Every Baby Cries The Same, and tracks from their previous studio album, 1999’s Save Yourself.
Make Up, who would later dissolve and become the band we now know as Weird War, were always more dynamic and probably more focused when they were on-stage. Ian Svenonius’ vocals are more fraught with passion and charisma than at any time since their 1996 debut, Live At Cold Rice, and his inter-song chatter is often hilarious. Not to be up-staged, James Canty’s furious guitar work on White Belts and They Live By Night is exemplary, as is Steve Gamboa’s drumming on the psychedelic rave-up of The Prophet.
The 47-minute set, which has been unavailable until now, is an essential document for any fans of the Washington rockers, but anybody who enjoys the more inventive end of the garage rock spectrum will find a lot to like here.
