The dynamic hard rock duo Jack Black and Kyle Gass, AKA Tenacious D, make light of current affairs with their latest album Post-Apocalypto, and it’s so welcome right now. There’s also a graphic novel that was released earlier this month to accompany the album! You can even listen to the album while following along with the new graphic novel together.

 

 

The original plan for Tenacious D in the before times (Pre-Covid) was to go on ‘The Purple Nurple Tour’, with Black and Gass saying their intention was, “…when it comes election time, we’re going to tour all the purple states, all the swing states to rock the vote and literally save the world.”

@tenaciousd is very excited to announce The Purple Nurple Tour…Twisting Hard to the Left! KG & I will be hitting swing states across the country, with special stops in NYC and DC, and partnering with @46for46 to promote voter registration and overall civic action through music. Four in ten Americans who were eligible to vote did not do so in 2016. Let’s change that and make all of our voices heard this November! But first, let’s get out there and ROCK! Artist Pre-Sale starts Weds at 10am Local Time – Password: COLORS General On-Sale starts Friday at 10am Local Time.
