Tesla Boy is a Russian independent electropop (synthpop) band, which performs songs in English language. It was created by Anton Sevidov in August 2008. The band consists of four members – Anton Sevidov, Leonid Zatagin, Mikhail Studnitsyn and Stanislav Astakhov. The critics claim that the band’s music refers to the period of 80s revival, which gained traction in the end of the first decade of the 21st century. Lookatme.ru named Tesla Boy the best Russian band of 2009. Radio MAXIMUM named it “The breakthrough of 2009th among Russian artists”. It has twice become the best Russian band according to LookAtMe. Tesla Boy Band is a regular guest of covers and spreads of many glossy American magazines, such as Interview, InStyle, Rolling Stone and famous Russian magazines, among which are Afisha and Sobaka. Tesla Boy is one of the most successful Russian music projects. The band has become the symbol of new Russian generation, who had listened only western music until Tesla Boy had appeared. No one could have imagined that the Band from Russia would appear on the pages of the British “Q” magazine, in the ipods of American Lady Gaga’s sound-producer Martin Kierzenbaum and actor Jared Leto or would be published by cult French label Kitsune. Their sound has been far reaching, criss-crossing the globe, while also amassing fans all over the world!
