Five Man Electric Band Near YOU!! By Todd Leibowitz

admin|October 14, 2009

The Five Man Electrical Band is coming to a theater near you, and me!

Tesla is back and better than ever. Their new album Forever More is great. Tesla formed during the hair band era but was never really a “hair band”. No makeup, no costumes. Just great rock and metal music. From the heavy hitters like “Heaven Trail” and “Edison’s Medicine” to the song side of “Love Song”, these guys always put on a great show. I saw them at a special Q104.3 concert about 5 years ago at the Hard Rock Café – great performance.

Lead singer Jeff Keith sounds like he did back in the day. That is saying a lot since some lead singers don’t have it anymore – i.e. Vince Neil and Tom Keifer (Cinderella).

So, Iman!!! Get me into the Westbury show on November 5th and I will give you a kick ass review. You can tell that I am huge fan of them. I have all their albums loaded onto the ipod. Also, believe it or not, back in the day I had a Tesla poster on my well. I will admit that to anyone. Haha.
