Cultural Tip
In German, a band usually 'spielt' (plays) music rather than 'macht' (makes) music. 'Musik machen' is perfectly understandable but sounds a bit more generic, as if the band is creating new music rather than performing existing pieces. Choose the verb based on whether you want to stress creation (machen) or performance (spielen).
