You’ll discover, that when all the lights are on, that you have no trousers on! Hah, they got you! Make Me is having the last laugh as their musical career horizons are expanding and more and more people are realizing their great potential. After keeping Make Me on the quiet for far too long, best friends Zola and Claire are once again rocking the San Francisco indie scene with two additional members. Joining them is Wes Chase on drums and Jeremy Sullivan on guitar, finally making the gender ratio equal. Both girls have known each other from way back when, and since they couldn’t handle playing in a band while living in the same city, they decided it’s best to situate each member on either side of the Bay. Wes and Jeremy eventually picked sides out of fairness and victory was achieved. With songs such as “Mazel Tov” and “Tattooed On Eyeliner,” the band has been gaining attention thanks to their hilariously true lyrics and unstoppable energy. Currently, the band is recording in the studio on their upcoming full length album which will join their live at the Gilman 7-inch single on shelves this spring. Don’t make me make you go to their next show...-Patricia Wysopal- Zero Magazine
Make Me recently released their debut album It Only Hurts The First Time, a delightful, poppy record reminiscent at times of 90s indie rock sounds and a lot of fun. The band has a tour scheduled for the Pacific Northwest; check their MySpace page for all of the dates. The album is in stores now and can be purchased from Make Me’s web site.

A coed quartet from San Francisco introduces us to the so-called post-riot grrrl genre. Evidently, it’s what results when you give a keyboard to a bunch of brats in a punk band, them pump ’em full of Valium.

We have much to say about one of our new favorite radio stars, Make Me! The four Bay Area mates are: Claire Haynie (keyboards/vocals), former Boyskout member Zola Goodrich (bass/vocals), Jeremy Sullivan (guitar), Wes Chase (drums). They make us happy! Riot Grrrl meets sugary French Pop.

At first listen, Oakland/San Francisco gave a nearly overwhelming sense that a rare outtake from the soundtrack of the 1983 movie Valley Girl had been found... but don’t take this as a criticism or quip at all. Some of the music is quite similar to a number of artists who once inhabited Sarah Records’ lineup during the late 1980s. The refreshingly simple guitar-pop structure combined with what I can only describe as "darling" vocals and keyboard accent easily lead us to highly recommend this band.

Make Me! are a US based band born out of Oakland. Their debut album ‘It Only Hurts The First Time’ instantly charmed us with it’s lofi sensibilities and lyrical genius. The four piece originally came about when keyboard and bass player/front woman Claire & Zola respectively decided to take the band over ground with additional members Wes and Jeremy on drums and guitar. The resulting fusion of Fall-esque musicianship and Pavement style fun caught the imagination of every person they played to. Their album is a nine track blast through lofi indie rock, Indie pop and has an instant and loveable quality about it.The album will be available to buy through Code 7/PHD in early 2008 which is great news. Their myspace site has some extracts from the album to listen to and a track you can download. There’s is also a video for the fantastic ’Tattoo’d - On Eyeliner’.We are smitten with them, you should be too. Go surf over to their myspace and check them out. They are currently arranging some European dates so keep your eyes and ears peeled for this fantastic band.
