TESLA To Record Covers CD In November; Partial Track Listing Revealed

August 28, 2006

TESLA is scheduled to enter the studio in November to begin recording an all-covers album, tentatively due next April. Among the cuts that are expected to appear on the CD are TESLA's versions of "Rock Bottom" (UFO),"Street Fightin' Man" (THE ROLLING STONES),and "War Pigs" (BLACK SABBATH).

In a recent interview with KNAC.COM, TESLA frontman Jeff Keith stated about the group's future plans, "We are doing this covers record that we plan on releasing next April. We are planning on putting a box set together with some DVD things. We have a ton of DVDs that we have in the archives. So we plan on going through that. It will be a three-disc that will include DVD footage, TESLA's songs that revisited acoustically and maybe some covers. . . Myself, I am working on a country music record. But that is a whole different thing. So when people think about Jeff Keith solo record, it is not rock and roll, it is country. So some people that might think Jeff Keith has a solo record are going to be very disappointed. It is not like me, doing my version of rock and roll. It is pure country."

Earlier in the year, TESLA hired its former Geffen Records A&R guy Tom Zutaut as its new manager. The band's first collection of new material since 1994's "Bust a Nut", "Into the Now", sold 30,000 copies in the U.S. during its first week of release back in March 2004 to enter The Billboard 200 chart at position No. 31.
