What do you get when you combine two of my favorite things, cooking shows and music? Well you get this web show Dinner with the Band! It’s almost like a show specially catered to me! I’m an avid watcher of the Food Network and of course I love indie music, so this is some sort of match made in heaven. The show has just wrapped up it’s first season and though i’ve known about it for months – i’ve just never bothered to watch the damn thing. I think it’s just some issue I have with watching crap on the internet. I’d rather just download it on my iPod (which you can do) and check it out at work.
Basically the concept of the show involves the host and chef Sam Mason, who invites different indie bands to come and cook interesting and “edgy” (as they’ve coined it) types of food recipes or or as the website says “intellectual food.” Whatever, food is food. Past episodes have included a few of our favorite bands including Matt & Kim, Tokyo Police Club and Pela. I hope the show finds success, but I think it’s dealing with a very niche audience and that could possibly be sort of a stumbling block.
I’ve included clips from the Matt & Kim segment, just because I love them and all of their wild energy they bring. You can watch the entire first season on the Dinner with the Band website. Watch more videos after the cut.
