TESLA
After 25 years, 12 albums, over 2,500 shows, over 16 million albums sold worldwide, TESLA is stronger than ever. Continuing on that momentum, TESLA: Jeff Keith (vocals), Frank Hannon (guitars), Brian Wheat (bass), Troy Luccketta (drums) and Dave Rude (guitar) release in Europe their new Live DVD, "Comin' Atcha Live! 2008", on Frontiers Records on December 5th 2008.
"This DVD marks a new era creatively for Tesla because we put it all together ourselves, capturing the band's concert and life on the road," says lead guitarist Frank Hannon. "Nowadays, we are more involved in every aspect of our music career than ever before. We are very excited about the creative results and it really shows in the new DVD".
It's Tesla's first long video released in 17 years (since 1991's Five Man Video Band) and is filled with over two hours of live music, over an hour of special behind-the-scenes footage and never-before-seen material, including footage of Tesla interacting with fans, giving viewers a personal tour of Seattle, and an up-close look at their touring equipment and guitars.
"Comin' Atcha Live! 2008" also includes "Dear Pvt. Ledbetter," a song off the new album "Forever More" written in honor of the troops.
The DVD was filmed at the Myth Nightclub in Maplewood, Minnesota on February 22, 2008. At the sold-out show, TESLA treated fans to numerous classics such as "What You Give," "Signs," "Modern Day Cowboy," "Love Song" and "Little Suzi."
TESLA has been non-stop touring all around the world the past 12 months in support of their two-disc critically acclaimed Real To Reel covers album. After taking their current hiatus from the road to record the new album of all original material, they're getting right back out on the concert trail. Expect to see the band again in Europe in early 2009 !
