Described by the Washington Post as “throwback indie rock,” Makeup Girl is a music lover’s dream come true. From their humble beginnings as a rock duo started by singer Brody Steck and drummer Caleb Schiebel, the band has expanded and matured into something much greater - something new.

Joined by multi-instrumentalist Johnny Leander, and bassist Avery Steck, the band is now at full power.

Drawing from the likes of Stevie Wonder, the Strokes, Funkadelic, and the Arctic Monkeys, Makeup Girl’s sound can be described as an explosive combination of pop rock and other genres including jazz, R&B, latin, and funk. Drummer Caleb Schiebel tirelessly pushes his set to the height of its capabilities, pumping out tight rhythms that allow guitar lines and melodies to run wild. Audiences should expect an engaging live show, ranging from energizing rock songs to dreamy jazz inspired numbers. Makeup Girl songs are filled with surprises as the band flows from groove to groove, seamlessly switching tempo and time signatures as the songs progress.

The band is currently preparing to release their newest and most ambitious EP to date, “Living Safe” - an atmospheric group of songs designed to pull listeners into a world of their own. With lush and carefully constructed arrangements, Makeup Girl’s newest release warns listeners of the dangers of “living safe” urging them to follow their own path in life. Although the most cohesive project from the band so far, “Living Safe” still keeps with the theme, using a mixture of many different styles and grooves that gives this release a sound of its own.
