Sacramento rock band TESLA ~ Frank Hannon, Brian Wheat, Jeff Keith, Troy Luccketta, Dave Rude ~ have announced an all new LP titled Simplicity due out June 10th, 2014 via Tesla Electric Company Recording’s arrangement with Entertainment One Music and Distribution.
Simplicity will be the band’s seventh studio full length LP and fifteenth release overall. The new effort will be the follow-up to Forever More, which was released in October 2008 and featured the single “I Wanna Live.”
TESLA locked themselves away for weeks writing the new material that would become Simplicity with long time A&R man Tom Zutaut. Fourteen solid tracks later, the band sank their teeth in and began recording at bassist Brian Wheat’s very own J Street Recorders. Legendary engineer Michael Wagener (Metallica, Skid Row, Motley Crue) was then tapped to put the final touches in place.

Fresh off the Monsters Of Rock Cruise, the band has quite the itinerary of tour dates throughout the rest of 2014. Click here for all tour dates and then make sure to catch the band live when they play near you!
Formed in 1981, TESLA almost immediately carved out their own space in rock and roll history. The band saw great success with their rendition of the 1971 classic “Signs” and their own hit single “Love Song” from the The Great Radio Controversy, released in 1989.
To remind yourself of just how great Tesla was and is, head here for audio clips from Mechanical Resonance (1986), here for the same from Psychotic Supper (1991), and here for Twisted Wires & the acoustic sessions…(2011).
