TESLA has set a June 5 release date for its "covers" album, entitled "Real to Reel". The two-disc set will contain 25 tracks, and will only be available at the band's live shows. Songs that are expected to appear on the CD include:

Seasons Of Wither (Aerosmith)
Is It My Body (Alice Cooper)
Not Fragile (Bachman Turner Overdrive)
Shooting Star (Bad Company)
War Pigs (Black Sabbath)
Bell Bottom Blues (Derek & The Dominoes)

Street Fighting Man (Rolling Stones)
Bad Reputation (Thin Lizzy)
Dear Mr. Fantasy (Traffic)
Rock Bottom (UFO)
Stealin' (Uriah Heap)
Beer Drinkers, Hell Raisers (ZZ Top)

Vocalist Jeff Keith stated about upcoming collection, "We're going to call it 'Real 2 Reel' because we did it on two-inch tape, which nobody hardly ever does anymore. We wanted that warmth of the two-inch tape. That way it's real. Because with ProTools, let's face it — you can make anybody sound like anything. When it comes to tape, you're recording whatever you're laying down, so you've go to feel it. We kept it real-like-live. We would do two or three takes and go in and pick the best take, maybe fix a little part here and there. Of course all my vocals were scratch — and then when I would go in to do the vocals, I would do the same thing. Sing through it like three takes and pick the best one."

Guy/McCoy/Torme (GMT), which features in its ranks Irish guitarist Bernie Torme (GILLAN, OZZY OSBOURNE), has lined up the following dates:
Jul. 07, The Pitz, Milton Keynes, UK
Jul. 21, Riga Club, Southend, UK
Jul. 28, The Rock and Blues Custom Show, Derbyshire, UK
Aug. 11, Rainbow Spirit Enlightenment Fayre, Chepstow, UK
Sep. 29, Esquires, Bedford, UK
Nov. 02, Boardwalk, Sheffield, UK
Nov. 16, The Point, Cardiff, UK
Nov. 29, Carling Academy, Liverpool, UK
Dec. 01, Fibbers, York, UK

Guy/McCoy/Torme (GMT) recently entered the studio to begin recording its new album, tentatively due later in the year. The groups December 15, 2006 show at Bradford Gasworks was filmed for potential DVD release. Handling both guitar and vocals, Torme has partnered with his old compadre from Gillan, bassist John McCoy, who has worked with Joey Belladonna, Samson, and the UK Subs, among others; and drummer Robin Guy (whose credentials include Faith No More and Bruce Dickinson) to form the GMT three piece nucleus. Bernie Torme is known for heroically stepping in and saving the day for Ozzy Osbourne when Randy Rhoads tragically died. He also toured the world as the lead axeman in Gillan and formed Desperado with Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider and ex Iron Maiden drummer Clive Burr, as well as fronting his own bands Eelectric Gypsies and Torme (featuring Phil Lewis of L.A. Guns/Girl fame).
