The Make The Make It's been a big few months for Chico, CA-based
indie pop trio The Make. What began this spring with a few semi-
serious musical ideas tossed around between producer Jeff
Schneeweis and his longtime cohort, bassist Trevor Sellers, has
progressed into a full-fledged touring band set to make their
national debut in October on a cross-country tour with
headliners Mayday Parade. In that short span, The Make added
guitarist/vocalist Sarah Ann, released their first EP, This Box,
on NFL star Aaron Rodgers' Suspended Sunrise Recordings, and
shot a video with Sugar Ray bassist Murphy Karges. What's their
secret? "We don't take it, or ourselves, too serious" says
Schneeweis, an ethos that jibes with the band's throwback pop
sound and the tongue-in-cheek video for their first single "Get
It." "The idea is just to have fun and be genuine," adds
Sellers. "It's exciting, to watch this whole thing go one way or
the other." From the looks of it, things are only going one way
for The Make: up.
