Tenacious D in "The Pick of Destiny"

Regional Premiere

The legend of the fabled "Pick of Destiny" infuses every page of rock history. This is no ordinary pick, my friends, its sheer power could shake the pillars of Algernon. It is a thing of lore . . . a thing of magic.

Since the dark ages, this supernatural pick has been passed down through many hands. The world's most awesome composers. The hardest of hard rockers. Many of the great masterpieces in music were due to this pick's powerful spell

Now, the time draws nigh when the pick will be passed to the next generation of rock - the ones they call Tenacious D.

This is their tale of a friendship that would last through the ages and a musical and spiritual syngergy so strong that it would reshape our very understanding of the concept of rock.
