Katrina, I agree with you: the Make-Up are a hell of a lot better live than
they are on record. I've seen 'em twice here in Austin (both times @ the
same place, Emo's), and both were enjoyable. It did get a bit tiresome
after a while to see the lead singer with the mike in his mouth all the
time, but they are a very energetic band in
person. Well worth checking out.
