Eight Gigs: The Kyle Gass Band

Mon., Nov. 28, 8 p.m., Harlow’s Restaurant & Nightclub, $12-$15

Kyle Gass is the other half of the comedy rock band Tenacious D with longtime friend and actor Jack Black. But, when Gass isn’t acting in movies or television or touring with the D, he’s busy writing new material with his latest project, the Kyle Gass Band. Gass selected a handful of musicians for the KGB such as lead vocalist and guitarist Mike Bray, who fronts the band with Gass behind the acoustic guitar. Other musicians include John Konesky (guitar), Jason Keene (bass) and Tim Spier (drums). KBG’s newest album, Thundering Herd, was released in September and features songs like the hard-hitting rock track “Hell (or High Water).” 2708 J Street, www.thekylegassband.com.
