THE MOUNTAIN GOATS ARE HITTING THE ROAD AND WILL BE ON TV AGAIN! 13 May 2010

THE MOUNTAIN GOATS ARE HITTING THE ROAD AGAIN!
THE MOUNTAIN GOATS WILL BE ON TV AGAIN!

John Darnielle, Peter Hughes and Jon Wurster are heading northwest, and then a little further north for some dates with their friends in The New Pornographers.

In addition to playing in beautiful Victoria, BC on June 1st, they'll also be playing on your television that night if you are a cable subscriber. Their episode of DINNER WITH THE BAND will air on IFC on 6/1 at 10:30 PM ET/PT.  The new IFC Original Series DINNER WITH THE BAND is the first cooking show to combine culinary delights, musical performances and conversations with select acclaimed indie music artists. This will be the third television appearance for The Mountain Goats in support of their latest album The Life Of The World To Come. They made their television debut on The Colbert Report, and followed it up with a performance on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.

In each of the 30-minute Dinner With The Band episodes, celebrated NYC rock-n-roll chef Sam Mason (Tailor, WD-50), invites a band over to his Brooklyn loft where he teaches them how to add his signature culinary spin to their favorite “on-tour” food. In the case of the The Mountain Goats, they will be cooking Death Metal Steaks, Cotton Puree and Sunset Fries, and drinking Moon Over Sazerac. You'll have to tune in to find out what exactly all those things are! Throughout the show, Chef Mason and the artists converse on food, music and life while cooking together. After they eat, they take to the loft’s living room to play some songs. The Mountain Goats perform “1 Samuel 15:23” and “Psalms 40:2”. Shows like this are rare, and John Darnielle and the Mountain Goats really shine in this light - talking AND playing! Please tune in.
