Tennis on Tour
There's no doubt that Tennis have real chemistry onstage — singer Alaina Moore and guitarist Patrick Riley are married and have been since they started this sweetly hooky indie pop outfit back in 2010. In person, they often take turns on keyboards while backed by drums and bass. This configuration lets the pair lean into their modern, lightly psychedelic side, joining dreamy atmosphere with driving rhythm. But the moments when the backing band steps away are all the more compelling, highlighting the depth of Moore's voice and the sparkle of Riley's chords, not to mention their mutual love for vintage ‘50s pop. The Denver-based couple tours nearly nonstop, supporting indie rock giants like HAIM, the Shins and Spoon, as well as headlining their own shows. For their 2020 run behind their fifth album Swimmer, they tapped the beguiling and breathy Austin retro-pop queen Molly Burch. If Tennis' music often feels beamed in from another era, they typically have the look to match — '70s hair, flared pants, sequins, turtlenecks — all of which adds to their out-of-time appeal.
Tennis in Concert
Tennis' origin story is truly one of one. Sure, Moore and Riley met in a philosophy class while studying at the University of Colorado in Denver — fairly standard. But upon graduation, the couple spent eight months at sea in their boat, The Swift Ranger, touring the East Coast while discussing music. Their 2011 debut album, Cape Dory, in fact documents that experience. Though it was intended as a personal project, the record wooed audiences with its lovely "sha-na-nas" and sparkling lo-fi indie pop, paving the way for a second LP the very next year. 2012's Young & Old was produced by the Black Keys' Patrick Carney. That one found Tennis loosening up after months of touring, letting the drums and keys speak even as Moore's vocals became clearer and more emotionally evocative. In between major releases, the duo solidified their malt-shop, dream-pop sound covering the likes of the Zombies, Brenda Lee, Broadcast and Television. They graduated from Fat Possum Records to Communion (founded by Mumford & Sons' Ben Lovett) for 2014's delightfully dialed-in Ritual in Repeat, which featured production by Carney, Richard Swift (the Shins) and Jim Eno (Spoon). Despite that one's success, Moore and Riley felt creatively blocked, so they again took to the water, sailing from San Diego to the Sea of Cortez to write 2017's Yours Conditionally, which they released on their own label, Mutually Detrimental. Tennis returned in 2020 with the comparatively hi-fi sounding Swimmer.

Rating: 4 out of 5 My review of Paramount Theater.
by Andrew Buchanan-Carter on 4/24/23Paramount Theatre - SeattleIt was a great overall experience! The staff were friendly and accommodating, the theater was clean and beautiful, and the sound quality of the performance was great as well. My only complaint is the high prices for drinks and food. I get it though. Prices are higher because people will pay for the convenience aspect, so why not profit more?
Rating: 4 out of 5 Good show
by Michael P on 4/24/23Paramount Theatre - SeattleThe show was good but her mic volume needed to raised. We could barely hear her vocals.
Rating: 2 out of 5 Paramount Theatre has poor sound mixing
by Rafapas on 4/24/23Paramount Theatre - SeattleThe band was very professional with a terrific floor show. The drummer and the bass were so loud that the vocals were essentially unintelligible and drowned out. The lead guitar also had trouble. This has been a problem a chronic problem at the Paramount Theatre.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Gorgeous venue, immaculate vibes
by Dani on 4/24/23Paramount Theatre - SeattleThe Paramount theater is delightful, full bar, snacks, gorgeous architecture, plenty of bathrooms, water fountains, all the things. And Tennis as well as their opener Loving, were perfection. Chefs kiss

Rating: 3 out of 5 Fun
by Casey on 4/8/23History - TorontoAlways fun seeing Tennis and their stage dynamics. The show was fun and all, but way too short. Just shy of an 80 minutes set, which I would have longer set time expectations. History in Toronto is a nice venue to the city.

by Jordan on 3/30/23The Ritz - RaleighIt was perfect. Everything. Down to the last minute detail.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Magical
by September M on 3/30/23The Ritz - RaleighI love the intimate feeling I get when I heard the Band play and interact with the crowd. The music transcends me to a happy place that’s sometimes hard to find in this strange world. I can’t thank Tennis enough for making music they wanted to share with the world. My life is better when I hear their music, that’s not to be taken for granted :) Thank you for doing a show in Raleigh; the drive to Carrboro was interesting last year
Rating: 5 out of 5 Best Date Night!
by Wilfredo on 3/30/23The Ritz - RaleighTennis at The Ritz was amazing! Took advantage of the VIP upstairs and lounge for the first time and it was worth it. Still had an intimate feel and was happy that we could see the entire show from almost every corner of the venue. Got to slow dance and hold each other during our favorite songs and simply had a magically fun date night! Looking forward to more shows here!
