Biography

“Make-Up” refers to two different bands:

1. Make-Up were a band from Washington DC, consisting of Ian Svenonius on vocals, James Canty on guitar, Michelle Mae on bass, and Steve Gamboa on drums.

The band formed in 1995, with Svenonius, Canty and Gamboa having previously performed together in Nation of Ulysses and the short-lived Cupid Car Club. They combined , and self-styled ‘liberation theology’ to make a new genre they called Gospel Yeh-Yeh. They released three studio LPs, two live LPs, and a compilation of singles and B-sides. They split in 2000.

Svenonius and Mae went on to play together in Weird War. Svenonius, now a published author, is a member of Chain & The Gang and released an album under the name David Candy. James Canty is currently a guitarist for Ted Leo & the Pharmacists.

2. A Japanese hard rock band formed by Nobuo Yamada (vocals), Hiroaki Matsuzawa (guitar), Yougo Kouno (keyboards), Yasuyoshi Ikeda (bass), and Yoshihiro Toyokawa (drums). They’re popular for many songs which accompanied the Saint Seiya anime series (especially the opening, Pegasus Fantasy).

The band now is no longer together, Nobuo and Yougo achieved major success playing with the JAM
Project.

    I've got Supernatural Strategies on order. Can't wait. By the by, the latest edition (44) of the always interesting Your Heart Out (google it - Last FM is rejecting my link), is on the Make Up.

    The Japanese Make-Up needs to to separated from the British Make-Up right away, but I don't know how to do that.

    actually, the makeup also goes by makeup. as well as mAKE uP and make-up and all sorts of weird variations, probably thanks to Ian. that aside... who cares? let them share a spot. this happens a lot with my other artists, too. big whoop, let it go. have a nice day. :)

    fuck last.fm, this band should be tagged the make up and this tag should be left for the Japanese band actually called make-up. I'm driving myself crazy with the fucking id3 tags.
