Tenacious DBirth Place: Heritage: Contact Tenacious D |
|
This Los Angeles, USA-based comic rock duo, affectionately known by their
fans as the D, is the creation of actors Jack Black (b. 7 April 1969, Hermosa
Beach, California, USA) and Kyle Gass. The two met at acting class and decided
to form their own spoof rock band, making their live debut in 1994. The duo went
on to appear on several alternative comedy shows before making their film debut
as Tenacious D in 1996's Bio-Dome. Guest slots on the HBO sketch show Mr. Show
With Bob And David and Saturday Night Live cemented the duo's burgeoning cult
popularity, and in 1999 they were awarded their own HBO series. Ultimately, this
only ran for three episodes but gave a first airing for many of the duo's songs. |
