TESLA Guitarist Visits MARSHALL Factory; Video Interview Available

July 7, 2008

Paul Marshall of Marshall Amplification conducted an interview with guitarist Frank Hannon of TESLA on June 18, 2008 at the Marshall factory. Frank spoke about his band's current tour and new live DVD. The six-minute clip, which can be seen below, also includes an impromptu demo of the JVM410H.

TESLA's third DVD, "Comin' Atcha Live! 2008", will be released 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.

"Comin' Atcha Live! 2008" also marks the world premiere of "Dear Pvt. Ledbetter", a new song written in honor of the troops from the band's forthcoming album, which is currently being recorded at bassist Brian Wheat's studio, J Street Recorders with producer Terry Thomas (who was behind the boards on the band's 1994 "Bust A Nut" album) and will be released this September. More details to be announced in the coming weeks.

The DVD was filmed at the Myth nightclub in Maplewood, Minnesota on February 22. At the sold-out show, TESLA treated fans to numerous classics such as "What You Give", "Signs", "Modern Day Cowboy", "Love Song" and "Little Suzi".
