New Band from Denver...Tennis

I have had one of the best weekends ever in Chicago...just sad to say it's my last week here before Christmas now.

Tennis

To start the weekend off I not only discovered the most amazing burger place...DMK, but went to a great gig at a bar called Schubas. I wasn't too sure about the warm up band... My Family Portrait but the main band Tennis were great. The band are made up of a married couple from Denver; Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley,  who decided to start playing music together after a seven-month sailing voyage along the East Coast.

The funny thing about the two bands (well maybe not for Family Portrait) is that Tennis used to be the warm up band but now they are so popular it is the other way around!! They assured everyone there is no love lost!

For me its all about Alaina, she is so cute and her voice is phenomenal! They only have 1 album which you can pre-order from Fat Possum records but you can check out some of their videos and their MySpace using the link below:
