Tenacious D is a comedy rock band consisting of Kyle Gass and Jack Black. The two are actors as well as musicians.

They met in Los Angeles when they were both in a theater troupe called "The Actors Gang". Kyle taught Jack how to play a guitar, and decided that, as Jack sang really well, they should form a band.

They started out as stage act then followed a series of short comedy films on HBO. They released their first album in 2002. When the pair perform live they do so with just their acoustic guitars. However, for their album, they enlisted the help of Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters, keyboardist Page McConnell, guitarist Warren Fitzgerald and bass player Steve McDonald. Each make guest appearances. The Dust Brothers produced the album.
