Kyle Gass, a man of international intrigue. Most know him as a member of the (comedy) rock duo Tenacious D where, along with Jack Black, he has simultaneously induced headbanging and laughter for well over a decade. What many may not know is that Gass actually has another band called Trainwreck that features Jason Reed, John Konesky, and John Spiker, all of whom also play with Tenacious D. The band has been around for a number of years, but just released their debut album, The Wreckoning, last year. Where Tenacious D is centered around Black and Gass, Trainwreck is truly a band with a backstory.
I spoke with Gass recently via telephone as he and Trainwreck prepared to hit the road for a nationwide tour. We talked about Trainwreck, music vs. acting, Spinal Tap, Tenacious D, and more.
