The ‘Spicy Meatball‘ tour has been ongoing since the duo, made up of Jack Black and Kyle Gass, performed their song of the same name as the tour at Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta in May 2023. The tour has since come to Europe and has seen Tenacious D perform a headline show at The 02 in London this past June before revisiting North American once more.
Watch Tenacious D perform ‘The Spicy Meatball Song‘ at The 02 in London this summer below:
Tenacious D was formed in Los Angeles in 1994 by actors and friends Jack Black and Kyle Gass. Prior to signing with Epic Records in 2000, the comedy rock duo supported larger rock acts such as Weezer, Tool and Beck, and released their debut, self-titled album Tenacious D in 2001, an album that featured a backing band, including Dave Grohl on drums. This first album also contained the track ‘Tribute‘, a song that has since catapulted the duo to worldwide fame.
Tenacious D released their second album, The Pick of Destiny, in 2006, an album that also featured as the soundtrack to Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny, a film the duo starred in. Their third album, Rize of the Fenix, was released in 2012 via Columbia Records and their fourth and most recent album came in 2018 as the duo released Post-Apocalypto, an LP that accompanied the hand-drawn Youtube web series Tenacious D in Post-Apocalypto.
