Brand New Tenacious D Coming to Audible Today!? Check Out This Exclusive Clip
Audible Originals is bringing Jack Black and Kyle Gass to the platform as Tenacious D with a brand new original featuring storytelling that covers 30 years of never before heard archival audio and a treasure trove of new content! All this greatness debuts TODAY, Friday August 5th, exclusively on Audible
Tenacious D: The Road to Redunktion will bring the funny and the rock, as only Tenacious D can. Two hours of content with Jack Black and Kyle Gass sharing the journey that led them to “the tipity top of the fucking rocking most magical spot.”
Before they were the only two members of the best rock band on earth, Jack and Kyle were two theater students finding their footing in Los Angeles. Tenacious D’s trajectory was a slow and steady rise from clubs to a guest spot on the hit show Mr. Show on HBO to albums to film to headlining festivals across the globe. But it wasn’t without its pains. They tell their story, and share their music in this spectacular original content.
Exclusive to this original will be seven newly recorded catalog songs and numerous instrumental stings and examples played extemporaneously. In addition to the seven songs which you can’t hear anywhere else, Tenacious D: The Road to Redunktion features 30 years of never-before-heard archival audio via two hours of these two artists telling their story.
Bonus! A scripted intro from long time friend and fellow genius, Paul F. Tompkins.
It’s all part of the ‘Words + Music’ Audible initiative marries music and storytelling in one-of-a-kind audio experiences, designed exclusively to be heard. The Road to Redunktion is the 29th volume of the Audible Original ‘Words + Music’ series. Others in the series include Beck, Pete Townshend, Eddie Vedder, Chuck D, Liz Phair, Alice Cooper, Tariq “Black Thought” Trotter, Sting, Yo-Yo Ma, Smokey Robinson, T Bone Burnett, James Taylor, Common, St. Vincent, Tom Morello, Jonathan Biss, Alanis Morissette, Sheryl Crow, Billie Joe Armstrong, Steve Earle, Gary Clark Jr., and Sleater-Kinney.
This three minute clip is just a taste of the goodness coming your way, TODAY, exclusively on Audible. In this clip you’ll hear Jack and Kyle talk about the genesis of Tenacious D, the Movie, and why the guys decided not to work with Adam McKay on the movie, and yes, its because of their buttholes.
