Jack Black and Kyle Gass make up the Greatest Band in the World: Tenacious D.
They started playing together in Kyle’s studio apartment on Cochran Ave in Los Angeles. No one could have ever dreamed of where the band’s genius would take them, but take them it did…
The band had a variety series on HBO that aired in 1999. Their self-titled album was released in the fall of 2001 with Epic Records and was quickly certified at Gold selling status, and has since been certified Platinum.
The duo completed their first feature film together -Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny -for New Line Cinema, which was released in November, 2006. The album Rize of the Fenix followed in 2012, receiving a Grammy nomination for Best Comedy Album.
In 2013, Black and Gass founded and hosted Festival Supreme, a music and comedy festival in Los Angeles, CA. In its first four years, Festival Supreme boasted acts such as Adam Sandler, Sarah Silverman, Flight of the Conchords, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Patton Oswalt, Die Antwoord, Amy Poehler, Workaholics, & many more.
In 2014, Tenacious D won a Grammy in the category of Best Metal Performance for their cover of Ronnie James Dio’s “The Last In Line.”
On November 2, 2018, Tenacious D released Tenacious D in Post-Apocalypto – an animated film, with each frame hand-drawn by Black and every character voiced by Black and Gass. Alongside the film, the band also dropped the album Post Apocalypto. Together, they created a genius addition to the D’s already scintillating catalogue of rock greatness.
In early 2020 – with great excitement – Tenacious D announced they will add the final piece to the Post-Apocalypto universe: the graphic novel.

This item from Post-Apocalypto’s Chapter 6 displays another pivotal character in the Post-Apocalypto universe: Jables Jr. Though an old man, Jables Jr is actually the son of Jack Black; through the power of his rad and futuristic time machine, Jables Jr is able to visit his namesake in present time.
