That they are still roaring and soaring should be no surprise. That’s just how they are built. Tesla may have been born in the mid-‘80s, but their bluesy, soulful sound is strongly embedded in the roots of organic, authentic, 1970s rock-n’-roll; the same roots that produced bands like The Allman Brothers, Grand Funk Railroad, AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Aerosmith.
The ground started shaking in Sacramento, California, in 1984; gold country that would soon be producing some platinum. They started out as City Kidd, until a suggested name-change to Tesla, honoring the eccentric inventor Nikola Tesla, who pioneered all things electrical. Their 1986 platinum début album, Mechanical Resonance, included Top 40 hits “Modern Day Cowboy” and “Little Suzi.” 1989’s double-platinum The Great Radio Controversy included hits “Heaven’s Trail (No Way Out)” and “LoveSong”. Suddenly, Tesla, who had been touring with bands such as Def Leppard and David Lee Roth, earned headlining status. In 1990, Tesla helped reshape the face of modern rock music by stripping down to the Five Man Acoustical Jam, an informal collection of their biggest hits peppered with rock-n’-roll classics by the Beatles, Stones, and others. This album produced their biggest hit single to date, a cover of Five Man Electrical Band’s “Signs.” Other ‘90s albums from Tesla include platinum selling Psychotic Supper and Bust a Nut. The band continues to record and release material including nine new albums since 2000 and recently débuted their new single, “Time to Rock!”
