From Variety.com:

IFC is creating a cuisine-oriented programming block to air Tuesday nights.

After a successful six-episode run of "Dinner With the Band" that began in November, Rainbow cabler is ramping up its episode order to 10 and teaming it with "Food Party" as an hourlong block.

"Band" teams chef Sam Mason and an indie band, which performs on the show, at a Brooklyn loft. Conversation ensues about life on the road and the food the musicians eat while touring. Among the musical guests next season are Rufus Wainwright, Murder City Devils and My Brightest Diamond.

Programming block will air from at 10 p.m. beginning April 27.

2009 is off to a busy start at OTMG. We have just launched 7 new projects with two more pending. Here's a taste of what we're up to...

The Rentals - an ambitious, year-long project involving multiple media formats including films about weeks, photographs about days and songs about time. Visit the all-new therentals.com for daily updates and content.

Thin Lizzy - A March 3rd release for a newly-discovered 1976 live Thin Lizzy show. The ideal time, the best lineup, and all the classic songs.

The Murder City Devils - One of the Northwest’s most missed rock n roll bands hits the road in February for a West Coast tour. Sub Pop is also reissuing limited editions of the MCD albums on high quality color vinyl February 17th.

Blue Note 70th Anniversary - Nearly 70 years since inception, Blue Note Records is still the gold standard in the jazz music world. In addition to live shows and many other events, the label is releasing Mosaic: A Celebration of Blue Note Records by the jazz supergroup The Blue Note 7 on January 13th.

Benny Golson - Concord Jazz announces the debut of Benny Golson's "new jazztet," a stellar sextet that revives that legendary group's highly regarded three-horn front line along with its classic, tight ensemble work and sophisticated sound.

Chick Corea / Hiromi - Chick Corea's latest project of jazz daring is Duet, a two-CD live performance with up-and-coming pianist Hiromi, recorded live in 2007 at the Blue Note in Tokyo. Duet will be released on February 3 on Concord Records

Girls Rock! DVD - A funny and inspirational film chronicling a Rock 'N' Roll camp for girls ages 8-18, Girls Rock! showcases the journey a group of girls experience as they learn about forming a band, writing songs, and building a community. Sleater-Kinney and the Gossip lend their expertise...


Whew! That'll have to do for now. As always, get in touch with any media requests. We aim to please.
