Per their myspace page, I found that the once amazingly popular eighties hair band will be playing at a Best Buy:

Real To Reel comes out on Tuesday June 5th and Tesla is going to be one busy band that day including a special in-store performance at the Phoenix Best Buy located at 2727 W. Thunderbird Rd. At 4pm, Tuesday June 5th, the band takes over Best Buy at 4pm for what promises to be a great afternoon. As if it could get any better, Best Buy will have a special limited edition copy of Real To Reel that includes a 4 song bonus disc featuring “War Pigs” from the Real To Reel sessions as well as a 3 song preview of the upcoming box set that has the band’s first-ever unplugged studio recordings of “Modern Day Cowboy,” “Paradise,” and “Shine Away” – the last recordings with guitarist Tommy Skeoch.

In addition to the Best Buy in-store, Tesla will be performing the song “Thank You” on “Good Morning Arizona (Channel 3), followed by a four-hour stint as guest DJs at KDKB-FM (93.3), where Tesla will take over the live radio airwaves from 10am to 2pm playing songs from the album, chatting with fans who call in, and giving away tickets to their concert in Phoenix on June 12 at the Dodge Theatre.

The day will conclude with a listening party at Martini Ranch sponsored by KDKB-FM, Zia Records, and Live Nation. While the event is free, fans must be 21 and over to attend. Tesla will be mixing and mingling with fans, playing songs from both “Reel 1″ and “Reel 2,” and autographing copies of the album which will be available for sale at the event courtesy of Zia Records.

So, they’re going to mingle with fans? This just means that they haven’t gotten popular enough once again to start ignoring them.

I like Tesla, so I’ll probably have a listen to new stuff.
