ON Networks Presents New Dinner with the Band Episodes: Featuring Tokyo Police Club
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.
AUSTIN, Texas (PRWEB) June 18, 2007
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.

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.
