The one and only comedy rock duo, Tenacious D, is coming to Austin, Texas for their newest tour, The Spicy Meatball Tour! The show will not only be funny, but a place to truly jam out with your closest friends. Tenacious D is playing at the Germania Insurance Amphitheater on September 15th and tickets are still available.
The comedy rock duo, Jack Black and Kyle Gass, formed in Los Angeles, California back in 1994. Jack Black is known for his comedic and successful acting career, but he also kills it with Gass on the stage and off. From 1997 to 2000, the duo had their own TV series on HBO, which encouraged them to finally take their love for making music to the next level. On September 25th, 2001, they released their first self-titled album, Tenacious D. The album included a whole band and captured the sound of hard rock with many monolgues within the songs.
Black does the singing while Gass plays the guitar. Their second album, The Pick of Destiny, actually came from the soundtrack of their very own film that was released in November of 2006 titled, Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny. 6 years later, the duo released their third album, Rize of the Fenix, on May 15th, 2012. Their most recent album, Post-Apocalypto, came out on November 2nd, 2018.
The duo has had many successful tours. Part of this is due to their theatrical performances on stage and Jack’s vocal delivery throught their albums. Gass’s acoustic guitar-playing creates the perfect sound for their music and presence. Their rock music can be described as “mock rock” that adds comedic affect and lyricism, but that doesn’t make it any less acclaimed than any other kind of music. In fact, their cover of “The Last in Line” granted them a Grammy at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards for best heavy metal performance.
Black and Gass don’t take the stage alone. They actually have a full band performing with them live. John Konesky plays the guitar, John Spiker plays the bass, keyboards and piano and Scott Seiver plays the drums. Don’t miss your chance to see Tenacious D rock the stage and put on a performance that an audience will never forget!
