Jack Black and Kyle Gass will bring their rock/comedy stylings to a waiting nation when Tenacious D throttles up for more U.S. dates set for June and July.
Tenacious D is about to go on a global outing in support of the band’s first new studio album in six years. Landing in stores May 15, Rize Of the Fenix was recorded in the garage behind producer John Kimbrough’s Los Angeles home.
