BIO
What does KG do when he’s not playing with the Greatest Band
in the World? He assembles an otherworldly super-team of
badass dudes to back him up in his own project, The Kyle Gass
Band.
Along with The D’s longtime electric guitarist, John Konesky,
resident Sasquatch and guitarist/vocalist, Mike Bray, mythical
bass legend,“Uncle Jazz” and percussion genius/international
heart-throb Tim Spier, the rollicking gentlemanly ensemble
traverses hill and dale to bring earth-shattering rock and roll to the
wanting 100`s.
If you’re lucky enough to catch this man-herd on the road, you’ll
surely count it as one of your finest living days. If you’re less
lucky (but still quite fortunate) to have only cast ears on the debut
recording, then consider yourself nothing short of pregnant. 2
years off-and-on, and in between Tenacious D mega-tours, the
accomplished men honed their sound and forged a master-work
only craft-able by the deepest knowledge of a master. Men, women, children, domesticated house pets, earth roaming wild
mammals, sea-dwelling creatures of the deep, insects, species yet unknown, gods and leaders, universal truths, and earthly lies; all
lay wanting in subjugation to the new interstellar constant that is the Kyle Gass Band. Get the record today, throw on some
headphones, and take the journey, friends, for you have something the band can never have… The ability to listen, with child-like
wonder, to the magic of song, while having no earthly clue how to create such brilliance… Such is the albatross of genius.. Such are
the chains of unparalleled skill… Such is the KGB.
