TESLA Guitarist Fractures Radial Bone - Mar. 18, 2009
TESLA guitarist Frank Hannon fell down last month in Atlanta, Georgia and fractured the radial bone in his elbow. He says, "Luckily, I have been able to do play guitar and do the TESLA shows with some pain. But the reason I was going to reschedule the Los Angeles FRANK HANNON BAND show [on March 26 at Whisky A Go Go] was because the doctor told me not to lift any equipment and put extra pressure on my arm for 6-8 weeks. Well, there's a good possibility that the Whisky A Go Go may provide FRANK HANNON BAND with backline of Marshall amps and drums, so I won't have to lift and haul my gear, and be able to play the show!! So please stay tuned there is a chance we will play that show."

TESLA's latest album, "Forever More", sold more than 16,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 33 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD was released on October 7, 2008 on Tesla Electric Company Recordings. The European version of the album, which was made available on November 7 via Frontiers Records, contains two bonus tracks not found on the American version.

For "Forever More", TESLA reunited with producer Terry Thomas, who was behind the boards for the band's 1994 gold-certified "Bust A Nut" album, and engineered by Michael Rosen who worked with TESLA on "Into The Now".

TESLA's third DVD, "Comin' Atcha Live! 2008", received a European release on December 5 via Frontiers Records. Released in the U.S. on July 15 on the band's Tesla Electric Company Recordings label (in partnership with Ryko Distribution), it's TESLA's first DVD in 17 years (since 1991's "Five Man Video Band") and is filled with over two hours of live music, over an hour of special behind-the-scenes footage and never-before-seen material, including footage of TESLA interacting with fans, giving viewers a personal tour of Seattle, and an up-close look at their touring equipment and guitars. The DVD was filmed at the Myth nightclub in Maplewood, Minnesota on February 22, 2008.

Tesla= Good Rock. Plain and simple. None of the drama, hype, or gimmicks. Just plain old rock and roll. They never sell out of try to fit in with the times.

Gotta love them.

Excuse me while I go find some shitty bands on here to slam so I can redeem myself. Shouldn't be too hard to do.

Tesla is one of the greatest Hard Rock bands ever. And as someone said above, Frankie Hannon is criminally underrated. Outstanding guitar player with huge tone and lots of feeling and a very noticeable metal edge.

Do you think he has a deal with Gibson? haha

I think Tesla is an amazing rock band and as others have pointed out before me, Frank is ridiculously underrated and doesn't the respect he deserves.

It is radius, not radial; you'll find radials on tires.
