Dinner With The Band and Sam Mason

Okay - every now and then the universe goes wild and produces amazing stuff that makes me shake my head and say what?? This time it's a webshow called "Dinner With The Band" which will pair Sam Mason (the former pastry chef of New York's famous WD-50 who's currently opening a new space called Tailor) and indie rock bands. Mason will invite his favorite touring bands into his apartment for a little cooking 101 and in turn, the band will do a live set. The end result is edited together with some flashy bits, recipes and great music clips. The pilot, which features New York's own The Cloud Room, was picked up by OnNetworks - an Austin, Texas based new media company - for 8 online episodes. The pilot is available in 5 parts on the Dinner With the Band website, but if you want to check out the trailer, read more

Oh and I actually heard about this show a month or so ago, but somehow it never registered in my brain. It wasn't until someone told me that The Cloud Room was on the pilot that I remembered it. In an "it's a small world" sort of way, I went to college with one of their members. (That weird noise you just heard? That was the sound of my universe popping). Also, I know that I'm not a music expert like BuzzSugar, but the pilot also features a track by Tacks, The Boy Disaster and they happen to be one of my favorite bands right now, so bonus points for the show in my book. Good music, good food, fun bands? You bet I'll keep my eye on this one.
