The greatest band in the world have shared a tasty little snack of The Who’s most scrumptious melodies. Enjoy the video directed by Liam Lynch below!
Following the release of their sleeper hit cover of “Time Warp” to help save democracy in 2020, as well as their Beatles’ medley benefitting Doctors Without Borders in 2021, Tenacious D are thrilled to release 2022’s covers-for-charity project. This time around, they’ve covered some of The Who’s best songs ever – “Pinball Wizard,” “There’s A Doctor,” and “Go To The Mirror!” – in a medley done Tenacious D style, and the result is instantly iconic. Like their previous songs, the limited edition 7” vinyl release of the medley will benefit a charity: all of the proceeds from vinyl sales will go to Everytown For Gun Safety.
Says the duo about the release, “Who better to deliver a tribute to the greatest rock opera of all times? Who? The D! That’s Who!! We’ve been working on this medley for 20 years. It’s finally ready to be unleashed. Crank it. It’s a humdinger. Enjoy.”
A video for the medley was directed and created by The D’s old friend, frequent collaborator, and fellow Who fan Liam Lynch, who helmed the band’s 2006 film The Pick Of Destiny.
Tenacious D will also be kicking off their run of 2022 tour dates on June 16 at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. They will be playing select shows throughout the US this year, all of which are nearly sold out, so if you haven’t bought tickets yet, we advise you get some quickly. Click HERE to buy tickets. A list of the band’s tour dates are below.
On top of all this, The D are also pleased to announce they will be releasing their very own fiber bars line in conjunction with nutrition bar brand NuGo Nutrition. Titled Tenacious D Fiber D’Lish, the bars are packing delicious peanut butter, chocolate and of course FIBER! – and are available HERE for a limited time only.
“Fiber bars? From Tenacious D? But why?” you might ask yourself. The band has the answer for you.
Says The D, “The world is so constipated right now. Never fear. Tenacious D to the rescue! Our new fiber bar is so Delicious and chock full of colon cleansing fiber…you will be dropping perfectly tapered Deuces in no time! You’re welcome, world! Enjoy.”
When on tour, the D never leave fiber behind. But rather than messing around with powders, they wanted a soft and chewy fiber bar that not only kept them regular, but tasted D’LISH!
NuGo Fiber D’Lish are the greatest fiber bars in the world because they were discovered by the greatest rock band in the world? Obviously!
Says NuGo Nutrition: We make fiber delicious. The D make it fun. We’re proud to be their #1 – to help with 2’s! Rock on!
