The band, fronted by Nation Of Ulysses‘ Ian Svenonius, released their last studio album, ‘Save Yourself’, in 1999. This was followed by a live album, ‘Untouchable Sound’, which was released in 2006, after their split. Following the band’s dissolution, Svenonious went on to play in Weird War with The Make-Up bassist Michelle Mae, and then fronted Chain And The Gang.

The reformation of The Make-Up is being billed as a UK exclusive. This year’s I’ll Be Your Mirror takes place between May 25 and 27, and will be co-curated by Mogwai and see sets from Slayer, Dirty Three, Mudhoney, Yuck and Melvins. The Make-Up play the final day of the event (May 27).
