Tennis Bids Farewell with Unreleased Gems and Epic Final Tour

By  | 

As their remarkable journey comes to an end, indie-pop duo Tennis has gifted their fans a heartfelt farewell—Neutral Poetry: First Recordings, Unreleased Demos 2009-2010. This new mini LP is a nostalgic return to their roots, featuring eight previously unheard tracks that capture the essence of their formative years. From early renditions of fan-favorites like “Cape Dory” and “Marathon” to exclusive demos of newly introduced songs, this collection offers a delightful glimpse into the musical evolution of Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley.

With the bittersweet announcement of their indefinite hiatus earlier this year, following the release of their acclaimed final studio album, Face Down In The Garden, the duo’s fans have been preparing to bid adieu. Alaina Moore, a member of the duo, eloquently expressed their emotions about this transition. She shared, “After completing Face Down In The Garden, it became evident that we had expressed everything we wanted to say. We are now ready to embark on other creative endeavors.” This passion for new beginnings, coupled with the profound sense of accomplishment that they had achieved all they set out to do, resonates deeply in their music.

Tennis, the beloved band, will kick off their farewell headline tour tonight at the vibrant Swan Dive in Las Vegas. This tour promises to be a celebration of love, music, and cherished memories, featuring a lively lineup of special guests such as Husbands, Billie Marten, Cults, and many more. Fans can expect an emotional experience as Tennis takes the stage, reflecting on their journey together and the joy they’ve found in their music.

Tennis’ extensive tour is not just a string of concerts but a heartfelt farewell to the fanbase that has supported them throughout their incredible journey. With stops at various festivals, including Bumbershoot and Kilby Block Party, and a final bow in London at the O2 Forum Kentish Town on October 23, there’s plenty of opportunity to join this unforgettable celebration.

Gather your friends, prepare to sing along, and reminisce about the memories created through Tennis’ enchanting melodies. This may be the end of an era, but the magic of their music will undoubtedly linger in the hearts of their fans. For more details on tour dates and ticket availability, visit tennis-music.com.
