Tenacious D to Replace Beastie Boys at Outside Lands

Tenacious D (Jack Black's funnyman rock 'n' roll shtick) will replace the ailing Beastie Boys at the upcoming Outside Lands Festival. Ta-da. (If you recall, doctors discovered a cancerous tumor in Adam Yauch's left parotid gland, so BB had to cancel both their tour and upcoming album release.)

You gotta love home-grown awesomeness. SFist interviews a lot of people who are just passing through this city—in fact most everyone here comes from some where else. Not today. Today we’ve got two SF natives, who are making a name for themselves both here and afar. As Two Gallants Tyson Vogel and Adam Stephens have gained a little notoriety of late, but we think you’ll agree they should be known for their music.

We are thrilled that the Outside Lands Festival has so many local acts. We've interviewed many of these local favorites in the past, and will be re-running this interviews in the next few days. Below is an interview with Matt Nathanson from 2006-- he's been very, very busy since then. You can get an update on his site, or check him out on Saturday night.
