Tesla Concert Tickets

Tesla is an American hard rock band originating from Sacramento, California. The band formed in 1984 as City Kidd and was renamed to Tesla during the recording of their first album on the advice of their manager. According to the Love Song Songfacts, their name (and the inspiration for some songs) comes from Nikola Tesla, the legendary scientist and inventor who quite possibly is single-handedly responsible for the "mad scientist" trope.

Never has an album cover and title truly described a band at its core. Tesla, although first arriving in 1986 at the height of hair bands and commercial rock, were really never a band about presentation. They never had big hair, stage theatrics, spandex or racy videos filled with vixens. They did however tour with many of these bands and like it or not got lumped into that era, fairly or unfairly...

Sound: I am finally beginning to realize how amazing Tesla is as a band. "Into The Now" is a showcase for their best work yet. Although all members are well past 35, the music itself does not display lack of energy. Being the first album in ten years, and with all of the original members, Tesla continues on with more maturity in their writing and style, however, that doesn't mean they are "alternative" and "boring." They are straight up rock n' roll...

The unplugged craze of the 90's - especially instigated by MTV when they were still playing proper music instead of advertising campaigns - is good and well behind us. Many bands recorded some of the best stuff of their career and a couple of bands even took it outside the MTV format. One of the most remarkable being Tesla, their 'Five Man Acoustical Jam' was (and still is) an amazing showcase of how a band can sound awesome on a couple of acoustic guitars...

One of the more enduring music history debates concerns the Sacramento five-piece, Tesla. Were they or weren't they justly lumped into the hair-metal category long with Poison, Warrant, and other '80s fashion ensemble bands? Resurrected last year by a Sacramento radio station, after half a decade's layoff, the boys have flat out denied any association with the genre, instead referring to themselves as a "blue jeans and T-shirt band...

What goes around, comes around. That oft quoted phrase best describes the current trend of old bands regrouping and hoping to regain some of that old luster of days past. You know who I'm taking about. For better or worse, some should have stay retired. Others are finding new strength and creativity. Hard rock stalwarts Tesla fall into the latter category. 'Forever More' is a roaring good disc of melodic hard rock...

In an age where bands rarely last more than five minutes on the seemingly never-ending conveyor belt of new music, it's certainly a rarity to find an act which stands the test of time. Tesla manages just that, returning with their sixth studio album in a quite incredible twenty-four year period. Although the line-up differs slightly for the first time, Tesla's sound and overall delivery remains as impressive as before...

Some rock bands in the '80s got fucked harder than Charlie Sheen. Tesla is a great example. Their 1986 debut, Mechanical Resonance, had nothing to do with hair, make-up or image for that matter. It had a lot to do with an astounding rock band from Sacramento probably focusing on their music while the Geffen marketing department lumped them in with the Poisons and Motley Crues. Through the years, Tesla has twisted some straight-up cool rock...

Sound: I am definitely loving Tesla more and more after every single song they release. Their music never gets old, and the solos are simply amazing. I thought Tesla couldn't make anything better, but they definitely did with the new album, released this past week. The sound of the new album "Forever More" by the old-school band Tesla, is better than ever before. The quality of the CD is perfect, not a single thing the matter with it at all...

Unlike most hard-rock groups, Tesla has never used hair-sprayedglamour or bombastic effects as a crutch. So dropping the amps seemslike the most natural thing in the world for these five down-homeboys from Sacramento. Five Man Acoustical Jam, recorded live in aPhiladelphia club, is a simple pleasure, down to the occasionalglitches and unaffected goofing off. And guess what...
