Tesla, Heaven’s Basement
One of the 1980s Hard Rock dinosaurs is on the road again. Founded in 1985, the Californian formation TESLA released its debut album `Mechanical Resonance´ two years later and was shot to fame due to the single `Modern Day Cowboy´. Though TESLA was assigned to the Hair Metal scene, the band members regarded themselves as Blues representatives who had been influenced by artists such as LED ZEPPELIN and AEROSMITH. After the sudden breakthrough, TESLA went on tour with ALICE COOPER, DEF LEPPARD or MÖTLEY CRÜE and recorded the second long-player `Great Radio Controversy´ (1989) that also became a million sellers. Within some years, the band was able to increase its popularity, not least due to some acoustic concerts that finally led to the milestone album `Five Men Acoustical Jam´ (1990).
