Press Release Body:

Chicago, IL, December 19, 2007 - Forget iTunes or Napster, an electronic-music duo
from Chicago is taking the internet music business to a whole new level by offering
their live act on eBay to the highest bidder. The name of the band is the Makers of
Sense, and they are determined to make more sense of the performance market by using
new technologies to bring their show directly to the audiences.

\"We see our act as powerful, interesting, and entertaining\", said Brother El, one of
the two members of the band, \"and people have loved every one of our shows\". But the
Makers of Sense believe that the performance market, just like many other aspects of
the entertainment business, is controlled by insiders who push a few artists by
spending millions in promotion. \"People like new, energetic, and original shows, but
they are often enticed into overpaying for a familiar tune rather than trying new
things\", said Cristian Huepe, a.k.a. labo_labs, the other member of the Makers of
Sense duo, who holds a PhD in physics and shares his time between research in
complex systems and projects as a musician and producer. \"The music market then
becomes a self-fulfilled prophecy, where the successful artists are those who can
invest in giant advertising and promotion budgets\", he concluded.

The Makers of Sense decided to skip the intermediate players, using the power of the
Internet to reach directly a larger audience of event organizers. \"Thousands of
people are putting together shows or parties for the \'08 New Year\'s Eve,\" Brother El
said. \"This is a very large potential market for emerging bands.\" But in today\'s
performance market only a few artists receive high compensations while a large
number of acts barely cover their expenses. \"The differences in show prices are
astounding,\" Huepe added. \"I saw a pair of Celine Dion tickets on eBay at twice the
starting bidding price of our entire act!\" The Makers of Sense started offering
today to the highest bidder a performance of their 12xSS (twelve times superior
sound) tour show on December 31st for a New Year\'s Eve event anywhere in the U.S.A.
The bidding started at 1,000.00 US$ plus shipping and handling (the price of 2
Airplane tickets from Chicago to the show location). The performance is listed
under \"Electronic-Music Live-PA Show for \'08 New Year\'s Eve\" in the Everything Else
- Weird Stuff - Slightly Unusual category, with item number is 280185095576.

The Makers of Sense are Brother El and Cristian Huepe. Together, they fuse energies
to create radical bodies of music that combine unusually warm electronica, hip hop,
house, trance, dub, live instrumentation and urban elements with new styles yet to
be coined. Their live-PA show uses laptops and machines to produce an original,
interesting, energetic, and dance-friendly performance that has been presented with
great success in national and international venues, events, and festivals. The
release of the band\'s debut album Shallow Enough to Drown is scheduled for June
2008.
