Tesla
Tesla is an American hard rock band originating from Sacramento, California. The band formed in 1984 as City Kidd and was renamed to Tesla during the recording of their first album on the advice of their manager. According to the Love Song Songfacts, their name comes from Nikola Tesla, the legendary Croatian scientist and inventor who quite possibly is single-handedly responsible for the "mad scientist" trope.
