The Band
Ray Hinkley : Guitar Bar 7
Jeff Keith : Vocals Tesla
Tommy Skeoch : Guitar Tesla
Steve Smith : Bass Flame
Denis Bostok : Drums Flame
Additional personnel: Skip VanWinkle (keyboards); Stefan Neary (programming, loops).
Recorded at Undercity Recordings, North Hollywood, California in February & March 2000.
After awkwardly breaking up Tesla in 1996, lead vocalist Jeff Keith and guitarist Tommy Skeoch wanted to continue on with the blues-based hard rock sound of their prior band. Eventually recruiting Ray Hinkley (guitar), Denis Bostok (drums), and Steve Smith (bass) -- the latter of the two were formerly of Flame -- the Sacramento-based Bar7 resulted in 1998. The next two years would be spent on the road before Sindrome Records released Bar7's debut full-length The World Is a Freak in 2000.

History:
Bar 7 was formed from the ashes of Tesla and performed a similar brand of blue-collar, roots rock. However the band was short lived, and faded into obscurity with the reformation of Tesla in late 2000.
Formed by former Tesla members Jeff Keith (vocals) and Tommy Skeoch (guitar), they rounded out the band with Ray Hinkley (guitar) and former Flame members Steve Smith (bass) and Denis Bostok (drums). Originally named Sofa King, they played over 200 shows before deciding on changing the name to Bar 7 in 1999.
Another former Tesla member, Frank Hannon, replaced Skeoch briefly after the release of their only album to date. But after a couple months separation, the original members worked out their differences and reunited. A few Tesla reunion shows were scheduled in late 2000 and slowed down Bar 7's progress, and once the reunion went ahead full-steam Bar 7 became a faded memory.
