Tennis Announce “Solo In Stereo” Tour

Tennis Announce “Solo In Stereo” Tour

The U.S. Open is happening this August in New York, but there’s another upcoming Tennis event you may want to mark down in your calendar.

Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley make up married rock duo Tennis, but the husband-and-wife team have never toured as just a two-piece. Usually, they’re backed by a full band. On Tuesday, however, they announced their first “Solo In Stereo” tour, which promises a run of stripped-down shows featuring just the two of them on stage. Tickets go on sale this Friday, July 27, and the tour officially kicks off Oct. 4 in Santa Fe.

The shows won’t be acoustic, per se, but with just Moore and Riley on stage, the songs will likely feel more intimate. Tennis shared more info about the tour in a tweet, below, and revealed an example of what to expect during the tour by way of a paired-down rendering of their glitzy track “My Emotions Are Blinding,” further down.

Last year, Tennis released both an album, a poppy scenescape called Yours Conditionally, and an EP of everything else they couldn’t fit on the LP, titled We Can Die Happy.
