Kyle Gass of Tenacious D

The Kyle Gass Band: In January of 2011, Kyle Gass was asked to assemble his most talented musical brethen and form a band that would open for Mike Campbell (of the infamous Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers). The resulting groups, The Kyle Gass Band, was WAY too much fun so they decided to run with it! With this project, KG really wanted to focus on great songs and stellar musicianship. So he asked his good friends John Konesky and john Spiker (both LA... session musicians who have played with TENACIOUS D since “Pick Of Destiny”) to join him. In addition, they called their old friend Nate Rothacker, who backed the almighty D at Bonaroo on drums to a crowd of nearly 80,000! And to round it out, they called up their new buddy Mike Bray, essentially a young Paul Rogers to front the band… and with that The KGB was born. It’s good-time-rock-n-roll done right, with incredible harmonies, hugenormous guitars, and just the slightest dusting of flute. The band will enter the studio this year to record an EP, and will be hitting the road on tour as well
