New CD release tour set for The Makers

 In honor of their new release, Everybody Rise, Spokane favorite sons, The Makers, plan to tour the Pacific Northwest...including a stop at the B-Side, September 3, 2005.
"Spokane audiences are way more fun than Seattle audiences," said frontman Michael Maker. "Seattle crowds are appreciative but incredibly uptight and self-conscious. Spokane audiences totally cut loose and go nuts!"
