Official Band Web Page
This band debuted in 1986, with their debut Mechanical Resonance off of Geffen Records. Since then, they've opened up for such arena bands like Def Leppard and Motley Crue in the late 80's, and recently opened a few gigs for Lynyrd Skynyrd. I was lucky enought to catch them at the Adler Theatre in Davenport, Iowa on January 16, 1996.

R.I.P. TESLA
1983-1996
From what I've read in the Colorado Tesla Page, Tesla is no more. When the band first split Jeff was with his family, Troy was in a band One Thin Dime, Bryan was in a project of his own I found out its name is Soul Motor. Frank had side bands Timepiece and Kaleidoscope and was in Soul Motor as well, but now is in a larger-sized band called Moon Dog Mane (see below).  They were a great band and I thought they got better with each album.  Jeff and Tommy are in a band called Sofa King. Here's to hoping that rumors that they will reform in a few years are true.


Official Site

Brian is in a band called Soul Motor, I listened to the RealAudio samples from the site, and its unbelievable.  It was produced by the guy to did the Days of the New album, so its got a dark overtone to it, but check it out, you'll be surprised.


Official Site

Frank looks like he's doing well in a band called Moon Dog Mane.  I haven't had a chance to listen to the CD, but I heard its along the lines of Skynyrd.  Follow the link, check them out.
