Jack Black is most well-known for his roles in such film classics as Kung-Fu Panda and School of Rock, but it’s with buddy and acoustic partner-in-crime Kyle Gass that he really shows off his comedic timing, not to mention impressive shredding skills. Fresh off the release of their latest live release, The Complete Masterworks Part II, the duo has again gone on tour to “rock the socks off” countless audiences. Whether it be debating the merits of gentle love-making vs. rough or pondering the possibility of an actual cock pushup, Tenacious D promise a wickedly entertaining show from the “greatest band in the world.”

The latest blogosphere sensation from New York, indie hipsters and blogosphere darlings Ra Ra Riot take the stage Saturday night. Releasing their debut The Rhumb Line last year, the band has received numerous critical acclaim, including being ranked as the 38th best album of 2008 by Rolling Stone Magazine and comparisons to bands such as Vampire Weekend for their brand of quirky guitar-pop mixed with tasteful violin/cello accompaniment. Kiwi indie rockers Cut Off Your Hands are slated to open.

DOORS OPEN @ 8:00PM

Jamaican-American rapper Busta Rhymes has been around for nearly thirteen years now (!) since breaking out with his eloquent hit single “Woo Hah!! Got You All In Check,” and the angry Brooklynite shows no signs of slowing down. Building up hype for his eighth studio album, Back on My B.S., before it drops at the end of March, the dread-locked rapper will be making an appearance at CLUB NOKIA this Sunday for all of his faithful to enjoy. Maybe Busta’s recent punishment of three years probation for assaulting his former driver stipulated he could only perform on holy days?
