  • Jack Black Biography - Life, Family, Children, Parents, Name, History, School, Mother, Young
    3/5/2020 Jack Black Biography - life, family, children, parents, name, history, school, mother, young World Biography (../in… / A-Ca (index.html) / Jack Black Biogra… Jack Black Biography April 7, 1969 • Santa Monica, California Actor, singer, musician Black, Jack. AP/Wide World Photos. Reproduced by permission. Jack Black is a one-man dynamo—a manic, scruffy ball of energy who has quietly been shaking up the entertainment world for years. Acting steadily since the mid-1990s, Black usually took on smaller roles that were usually quirky, but always unforgettable. He also became one-half of a comedy rock duo called Tenacious D, which played regularly in small comedy clubs in California. As a result, Black developed a cult following of fans, who watched and waited for him to break out as a star. In 2003 fans got their wish, when Black skidded onto the screen as rocker-turned-teacher Dewey Finn in the blockbuster School of Rock. Almost overnight, Jack Black became a household name. Product of rocket science Jack Black was born April 7, 1969, in Santa Monica, California, to Tom and Judy Black, both satellite engineers. In a 2003 Newsweek interview with Devin Gordon, Black admitted it was ironic that both his parents were rocket scientists. He also put a Jack Black spin on the situation: "They're rocket scientists. I'm a rock scientist." While Black was growing up his parents fought constantly, which finally led them to divorce when he was ten years old. The separation had a profound effect on Black. In search of attention, he turned to acting.

  • Tenacious D Kommer Til Danmark!
    Tenacious D 2018-12-03 10:00 CET TENACIOUS D KOMMER TIL DANMARK! I kølvandet på udgivelsen af deres første album i seks år og en ny animationsserie, annoncerer den amerikanske kultduo ny verdensturné. Tenacious D kan blandt andet opleves i Danmark, når de to comedy-rockere giver koncert i Royal Arena den 4. juni 2019. Tidligere i år offentliggjorde Tenacious D en stor nordamerikansk turné, der følger i kølvandet på udgivelsen af duoens fjerde album, ”Post-Apocalypto”. I forbindelse med albumudgivelsen kom amerikanernes egen seksdelte animationsserie af samme navn, som man siden september har kunnet følge hver fredag på bandets YouTube-side. Så nu er der for alvor dømt forkælelse af bandets fans, når Jack Black og Kyle Gass følger udgivelserne op med en verdensturné, der bringer deres Grammy-vindende liveshow til København. Serien ”Post-Apocalypto” er en dystopisk animationsfilm tegnet af Jack Black med alle stemmer lagt af Kyle Gass og Jack Black selv. Den seksdelte serie er en knap så diskret fuck-finger til Donald Trump og verdens generelle dystre tilstand, hvor vi følger Tenacious D i deres forsøg på at redde verden fra død og ødelæggelse efter en atombombes fald. I forlængelse af animationsserien udgav bandet i november lydbilledet til animationsserien i form af albummet, ”Post-Apocalypto”. Albummet er produceret af John Spiker og er bandets første udgivelse siden 2012. Som på bandets tre tidligere albums, ”Tenacious D” (2001), ”The Pick of Destiny” (2006) og ”Rize Of the Fenix” (2012), finder man bandets ven og faste samarbejdspartner, Dave Grohl (Nirvana og Foo Fighters) bag trommerne. Jack Black og Kyle Gass besøgte senest Danmark i 2016 foran en kæmpe skare af dedikerede publikummer på Orange Scene på Roskilde Festival.

  • Tenacious D Live in Concert at Blizzcon® 2010
    Tenacious D Live in Concert at BlizzCon® 2010 Jack Black and Kyle Gass to Entertain a Sold-Out Crowd During Closing Ceremony of Blizzard Entertainment's Epic Gaming Festival IRVINE, Calif., Oct 11, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. today announced that the greatest band in the world*, Tenacious D, will perform at the closing concert during this year's sold-out BlizzCon(R). Taking place October 22-23 at the Anaheim Convention Center, BlizzCon is a celebration of the global player communities surrounding Blizzard Entertainment's Warcraft(R), Diablo(R), and StarCraft(R) game universes. While tickets to the convention are currently sold out, viewers can watch at home by ordering a BlizzCon Virtual Ticket, offering over 50 hours of event coverage (including Tenacious D's performance) globally over the Internet and also on DIRECTV(R) in the United States. Tenacious D is made up of musical visionaries Jack Black and Kyle Gass. After forming in 1994, the duo rose to rock god-dom following the release of the HBO cult-hit series Tenacious D: The Greatest Band on Earth. Since then, Tenacious D has released two albums and a pair of live DVDs, sold out arenas around the world, and starred in their own feature-length movie, Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny. At the BlizzCon closing ceremony on October 23, the band will perform an earth-shattering set that includes the debut of new, soon-to-be-legendary songs. "The best way to wrap up two days of epic entertainment is with an epic rock concert--and few bands fit the bill like Tenacious D," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment.

According to Dining Services Director Mark LoParco, uncon- sumed portions from students’ meals used to get thrown away in bulk. Despite later purchas- ing a food pulper to cut down on the volume and sending some of the leftovers to the PEAS Farm to be used as compost, LoParco was still looking for a more en- vironmentally-friendly disposal method.
