Thurs, Jan 28, Trainwreck

Local audio engineer John Callan put me onto Trainwreck, the unabashedly stonish side project of Tenacious D’s Kyle Gass, who sings and plays guitar under the moniker Klip Calhoun. The sound is like Lynyrd Skynyrd meets some four-piece rocker you might see playing a biker bar in Old Sac during the summertime. So, yeah, the rock songs are dressed in sarcasm and that inimitable Jack Black-Kyle Gass jokiness, but it’s still good times—and pretty epic rock to boot. With Tough Luxury and deejay dancing. 2030 P Street, www.twreck.net.
