Despite being a hectic day with Record Store Day, I hope you have the time to stop into Mario’s 1477 Grille tomorrow, April 20th, for the Bootsey X celebration. Bootsey has been fighting medical issues for a few years, and your donation of $7 at the door goes directly to Bootsey to help cover...

For our final date with the D we played the Hammersmith Apollo, formerly the Hammersmith Odeon, in London. Mixed emotions fill my head — on the one hand it’s hard to see things go, but all things must end sometime, you know? As a band we’ve learned how to manage a large stage, get...

We just crossed into Italy without any trouble– seems like a good time for a blog. The Dusseldorf gig was great, the biggest crowd of the tour in a giant arena called the Mitsubishi Electric Halle. We got the crowd clapping along on “Fool,” which is no easy task with a Tenacious D crowd....

I’ve just finished lunch/dinner and am backstage in Dusseldorf, Germany. All the German gigs are sold out, and this is the biggest crowd of the tour, I think it is 7,300. Yesterday was a day off in Hamburg, and boy did we make use of it. After Ben and I jogged through Hammer Park...
