Hire: Tesla
Tesla is an American rock band from Sacramento, California. They have sold at least 14 million albums in the United States. The band is ranked No. 22 on VH1’s 100 Greatest Artists of Hair Metal and has been described as a “thinking man’s hair metal band”.
In the early days of their career, Tesla toured with David Lee Roth, Alice Cooper, Def Leppard, and Poison, which resulted in the band being categorized as a glam metal band. The band’s members resented this labeling. The band, according to Troy Luccketta, now does not mind being called a part of that scene.

In 1986, their debut album, Mechanical Resonance, was released, which produced two hit singles, “Modern Day Cowboy” and their cover of “Little Suzi”. The band’s second album, The Great Radio Controversy (1989), peaked at number 18 on the Billboard 200 album chart and produced the top-ten single “Love Song”.
In 1994, the band released their fourth studio album, Bust a Nut. The Japanese edition of Bust a Nut contains the previously unreleased cover of Led Zeppelin’s “The Ocean”.
In June and July 2008, Tesla played a few shows in Europe and the US, including the Sweden Rock Festival and the Graspop Metal Meeting. They also performed Rocklahoma in Pryor, Oklahoma, with others, including Bret Michaels and UFO.
In 2015, the band did a tour with Def Leppard and Styx.
