Last year, it was announced that Mogwai would curate an ATP festival in May. With May suddenly looming soon, ATP has just announced a new host of bands to perform at their I'll Be Your Mirror shindig in London.And amongst those names is an exciting announcement: garage-soul outfit The Make-Up will be reforming to play at the festival. Formed out of the ashes of conceptual punks The Nation of Ulysses —and lead by the same firebrand singer (and Psychic Soviet author!), Ian Svenonius— the Make-Up made a string of classic records for Dischord and K in the late-'90s, from the furious Destination: Love - Live! At Cold Rice to the psychedelic Save Yourself. Since their demise, many of the band went on to Weird War, and, from there, Svenonius began recording as Chain and the Gang.
The Make-Up joins a string of new additions including other '90s comebacks Chavez and Archers of Loaf, plus Dirty Three, Death Grips, the Soft Moon, Sleepy Sun, Tennis, Thee Oh Sees, Death Grips, Demdike Stare, Balam Acab, Forest Swords, Siskiyou and more.
The ATP I'll Be Your Mirror jamboree takes place at the Alexandra Palace (Ally Pally, yes) from May 25-27. All the details you could ever want at the ATP website.
