Trainwreck, which is fronted by Tenacious D's Kyle Gass and "Lee of the D" announced today that they embark on a 20-date aptly named "Transcontinental Railroad" tour across the country and back again. They will be busting ear fannies and melting faces officially in the name of Wreck N Roll. They hit the road in support of their debut album The Wreckoning, released earlier this year.
Kyle Gass (aka Klip Calhoun) has described Trainwreck at various times as "Molly Hatchett meets Jethro Tull meets The Runaways," "Scoobie Doo meets CSI" and "…a cornucopia of rock and a 5-headed hydra of pleasure".
The band's classic/prog/Southern boogie yeehaw freakshow will head out on tour beginning at Dipiazza's in Long Beach, CA. After a couple of weeks of rest from that brain-frying gig, they will cut a swath a mile wide from smoggy Southern California to the Eastern Seaboard. From there, it's onto the Midwest, the Rocky Mountains and back to the West Coast. Confirmed tour dates are:
