ON Networks Presents New Dinner with the Band Episodes:
Featuring Matt & Kim
AUSTIN, Texas (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) August 13, 2007 --
Brooklyn indie pop duo Matt & Kim
bring their high energy sound and toe-tapping tunes to viewers around
the world in the latest episodes of 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 delights singer-keyboardist
Matt Johnson and drummer Kim Schifino with a unique black olive cobbler
made with Kalamata olives sweetened with port wine and finished with a
streusel topping. Mason serves the cobbler with homemade almond ice
cream, a perfect dish for the undeniably sweet, chipper and
down-to-earth couple who readily admit they love the fun and pandemonium
of sweat-drenched hipsters crowd-surfing during their shows.
Matt and Kim hail from Brooklyn where they met in 2004 and started
playing together, mostly for house parties and small clubs. The indie
pop band has a “knack for shaping the simplest
words and musical phrases into gut-punching, bail-skipping,
ceiling-crashing joy,” according to a recent Pitchfork
review.
In Dinner with the Band, Matt and Kim show off their infectiously
exuberant onstage energy as they perform “It’s
a Fact,” “Yea Yeah,”
and “Jesse Jane.”
The band follows previous Dinner with the Band guests that
include hip hop mastermind El-P, indie rock band Pela, Canadian indie
band Tokyo Police Club, punk rockers Cities on Fire, and Brooklyn’s
spirited quartet Holy Hail.

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.
