July 2nd- The Make Up comes to Ottobar! Tickets on sale Friday at 10am at theottobar.com
.
.
.
THE MAKE UP is the Washington, DC group that re-defined underground music in the middle and late 1990s with their peculiar and incendiary blend of gospel, garage and yeh-yeh music. Known for their dynamic and interactive live presence at hundreds of shows across 5 continents, the group also recorded 7 LPs, 14 singles and EPs and and collaborated on films, videos, pamphlets, and happenings. They toured extensively as a headliner and with groups such as Royal Trux, Sonic Youth, Fugazi, Dub Narcotic Sound System, Lung Leg, Harry Pussy, and many others.
The group has been called âdazzling ⊠best dressed ⊠martial ⊠terrifying.â Their shows were known to feature communication, sermonizing, crowd participation, and dancing virtually unknown in the staid world of indie and garage rock. Their style was perfect, with matching Mao style jackets, with new versions designed for each tour.
The group was widely copied as well and precipitated and inspired a wave of âgarageâ imitators in the 21st century who often had commercial success but lacked the spark, character, nuance of the Make Up. Occasionally, when the moon is bright and the wolfsbane blooms, the group has come out of hiding for rare and exciting personal appearances since disbanding in 2001. They are making one of their rare returns now for a short time only.

đ„ CLOSED SATURDAY, APRIL 13 đ„
The upper level of the Ottobar establishment shall, regrettably, temporarily halt operations on the forthcoming Saturday, April 13th, as the lamentable consequence of an agreement forged with a Djinn who deceitfully pledged boundless wealth and eternal life but it turned out to be a monkeyâs paw situation, and staff will now be spending the entirety of the day learning ancient Arabic on Duolingo for an incantation and searching Sandtown-Winchester for the pieces of the relic that imprisons the creature. Itâs a lamp or some such, I wasnât paying attention when the elderly librarian was explaining this to us.
TL;DR Upstairs is closed on Saturday! But you should read this post in its entirety because there will be a quiz and it will count as half of your grade.
