ON Networks Presents New Dinner with the Band Episodes:
Featuring Tokyo Police Club
AUSTIN, Texas (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) June 18, 2007 --
Canadian indie band Tokyo Police
Club hits the virtual stage in June with its debut performance on Dinner
with the Band (www.dinnerwiththeband.tv),
a new Internet TV show hosted by New York City chef Sam Mason. The
perfect mash-up of indie music and designer recipes, Dinner with the
Band gives fans a personal, first-hand look into the lives of some
of the industry’s hippest up-and-coming bands.
Mason serves up Tex-Mex food, including migas and avocado margaritas, in
a nod to the South by Southwest Festival
in Austin, Texas where he first heard Tokyo Police Club play. The band,
which hails from Toronto, has been described by EYE Weekly as “undeniably
catchy and raw, marrying danceable hooks with talk of robot masters and
global emergencies, providing an upbeat soundtrack to our troubled times.”
On the heels of a live performance on The
Late Show with David Letterman, Tokyo Police Club plays intimate
renditions of “Nature of the Experiment,”
“If It Works,” and “Be
Good” on Dinner with the Band.
The band follows previous Dinner with the Band guests that
include hip hop mastermind El-P
and indie rock band Pela.
Mason, former pastry chef of New
York’s famous WD-50 and proprietor of the
soon-to-open contemporary dining and cocktail parlor Tailor, hosts Dinner
with the Band in his apartment, usually in a t-shirt and jeans,
bringing a casual, non-intimidating approach to his dishes that
stimulate the palate as well as the dialogue.
Dinner with the Band is one of several new programs being
introduced by ON Networks, Inc. (ON). It is also one of just a few
original, professionally produced Internet TV shows selected by iTunes
as a featured podcast and a featured video for Apple TV. Like all ON
