August 27, 2009, 15 years ago
Noisecreep has issued the following report from Christina Fuoco-Karasinski:
The pop metal band TESLA is planning a pair of CDs to celebrate live performances throughout Europe last summer and the US this fall.
"We're doing two live albums," guitarist Frank Hannon tells Noisecreep. "The first one is strictly for Europe; it may be available as an import [to America]. We are going to do a second one. It's going to be for America next year."Tesla - which includes vocalist Jeff Keith, guitarist Dave Rude, bassist Brian Wheat and drummer Troy Luccketta - is focusing on the European market first, out of commitment to its record label.
"Our record company's in Italy," Hannon said. "They're really good to us, and we're going to give them the first crack at it. It'll eventually be available over here."The Sacramento, Calif.-based band is in the midst of working on the European album for release this year. The CD, tentatively titled Live Across Europe, features performances in Belfast, Hamburg and Madrid, among other cities.
"We're working on mixing the live album," Hannon said. "We just got done touring in Europe for five weeks this summer. We recorded every show and we just got done sorting through it. Now we're mixing it to make a live album in Europe. We have to divide our time. I'm kind of learning that as I get older. You have to set aside time for certain things in order to stay focused. You go, 'OK, this time I'm only doing this.' 'This time I'm only doing that.' Right now, this one time, we're not writing songs as a group but we are mixing some live material."Read the full report at Noisecreep.
