Tenacious D before they were the best rock band on Earth
The former theatre students first formed Tenacious D back in the late 90s in Los Angeles. No one could have ever dreamed of where the band’s genius would take them, but take them it did…
Beloved by fans and critics worldwide, their journey includes a hit HBO variety series in 1999, a Platinum-certified self-titled album in 2001, and a feature film – Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny – in 2006. 2012 release Rize of the Fenix earned a GRAMMY® nomination for ‘Best Comedy Album’, the band taking home their first win in 2014 for ‘Best Metal Performance’.
In 2013, Black and Gass created Los Angeles’ music and comedy event Festival Supreme. It has featured the likes of Adam Sandler, Sarah Silverman, and Flight of the Conchords. 2018 delivered animated film in Post-Apocalypto – which saw each frame hand-drawn by Black, and characters voiced by the band, who also recorded the accompanying soundtrack. A graphic novel completed the Post-Apocalypto universe in 2020.
But it didn’t stop there for the rock duo
In 2021/22, Tenacious D covered songs for charity and launched a fibre bars line. They continued their creative streak with Words + Music | Vol. 29 | Tenacious D’s The Road To Redunktion, an Audible Original featuring archival audio.
Just last year, they launched The Spicy Meatball Tour, performing in 24 cities. They released their latest hit song “Video Games” – their first new track in five years. And paid tribute to Chris Issak with a viral hit take on his classic “Wicked Game“. Finally, in December 2023 Jack Black delivered another smash with his surprise hit ballad “Peaches” from The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
