Trainwreck: Gass for dat Azz
Posted on 26. Jan, 2010 by some guy in Music
Kyle Gass: the man, the myth, the legend. Mr. Gass, of Tenacious D fame, indeed has another group that may have slipped by our radar: Trainwreck. Currently out on the the road, Glass, aka Klip Calhoun, was kind enough to answer some questions for Synthesis regarding the band’s new album, The Wreckoning, the joys of live performance, and the chances of him becoming my new dad.

In a brief, very uninformative thread over at Absolute Punk, it was noticed that there’s a pre-sale going on for 1 show in Atlanta for a Sunny Day Real Estate show. Although there hasn’t been any major press release (or at least that I’m familiar with) from the band’s label or PR, I’m assuming this is legit considering it’s Ticketmaster.

I’ve been wondering what’s been up with Rage Against the Machine’s ultra awesome guitarist Tom Morello recently. It turn out he’s, yet again, out forming super groups, this time with Boots Riley from the hip-hop group The Coup.
