Biografie van de kunstenaar Tesla

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. Originally The Group Included Jeff Keith Vocals Frank Hannon Guitar Tommy Skeoch Guitar Brian Wheat Bass And Troy Luccketta Drums . In 2006 Skeoch Was Replaced By Dave Rude Who Is Now An Official Member Of The Band. Tesla's Music Fit Well With The Blasting Sounds Of Their 80s Hair Metal And Glam Rock Contemporaries. Yet It Was More Bluesy And Lyrics Dealt With Other Themes Than Just The Usual Girls Alcohol And Violence. But What Set Them Even More Apart From Their Contemporaries Was Their T-Shirt And Jeans Image A 'street' Look Reminiscent Of The Ramones And Other 70s Punk Groups That Was In Strong Contrast Of The Leather Spandex And Flashy-Make Type Look Of The Time. The Band's Early Lifespan As City Kidd Brought Them Considerable Frustration With Them Failing To Break Into The Musical Mainstream While Also Competing With Another Band With The Same Name. Their Mutation Into Tesla Provided A Clear Shot At Success. 'Mechanical Resonance' Their Debut That The Boys Released In 1986 Became A Commercial Smash While Also Receiving Significant Critical Praise. That Album Was Certified Platinum By The RIAA On October 5 1989. In Total The Group Has Released Six Studio Albums With Original Music The Latest Of Them Being 2008's 'Forever More'. They Have Also Created A A Double-Disc Covers Album Titled 'Real To Reel' As Well As A Number Of Compilations And Live Albums. Their Sound Has Focused On A Particularly Melodic And Accessible Kind Of Hard Rock With Strong Shades Of Classic Heavy Metal As Well. Tesla's Popular 1990 Remake Of Signs Originally Recorded By The Five Man Electrical Band Who Also Inspired The Album Which The Remake Came From Five Man Acoustical Jam Is Probably The Most Mainstream Of Tesla's Hits. However Many Fans Remember Fondly Tesla's Other Hits Such As Gettin' Better Modern Day Cowboy Little Suzi Edison's Medicine And Love Song. The Band Derived Their Name Certain Album And Song Names E.G. The Great Radio Controversy Mechanical Resonance Etc And Some Song Content From Events Relating To Nikola Tesla A Serbian-American Inventor And Electrical Engineer Born In The 19th Century In Smiljan Austria-Hungary Modern Day Croatia.
