Joining a slew of other artists eager to help the victims of Paris' recent terror attacks any way they can, comedy rock duo Tenacious D have joined Eagles Of Death Metal's Josh Homme in raising money through his Sweet Stuff Foundation.

Jack Black and Kyle Gass are auctioning off 13 coveted items from their 2006-2007 'Pick Of Destiny' tour, including such items as the fur coats they wore, their lizard and wizard costumes and signed car stage props.

There are also some items from the 'Rise Of The Fenix' tour — such as the "Evil Alien Squid" and 15 foot stage prop that hung behind them.

The duo told Billboard, "Our friend Josh Homme asked if Tenacious D would participate in the awareness and fund raising campaign in the wake of the recent attacks … We were eager to join the cause. This is our small but heartfelt contribution."

Proceeds from the Charitybuzz auction will head to Sweet Stuff Foundation, which has been donating all proceeds to the 130 victims of the Paris attacks, including Nick Alexander, who looked after the band's merch and was gunned down at the Bataclan Theatre.
