[@mattyb808]

This band is criminally underrated. Been a fan for a while and the new album is pure magic!

[@KHR0708]

Yes!!

[@EliteSports24]

Tennis has been making pure magic for years. Can’t wait to see them live finally on their fall tour 2023

[@LuisQuintanaGlidder]

My love for Cheryl is incommensurable. She never fails to deliver some new musical treasure to my ears, and do so with an incredible kindness, humility and warmth. I don't think anyone can wish for a better host. Loved the performance by Tennis! Another great discovery for my music library.

[@nicksilva7113]

i want a live album from them so bad

[@organicwins91]

Another live session/album would be incredible, they’re live versions are so nice and the reinterpretations

[@revmaynardd]

They did live shows during covid and sold the recorded streams on their site. They were def worth the money.

[@franzreyes6185]

​​@revmaynardd i bought 2 of their live albums streamed during Covid. They're way better than their other live performances found here in youtube. Worth every penny

[@user-by7hh7xt2e]

ooh wow, so weird a livvve album. who cares? how would that be any better than it already is? why tie yourself down to a place and time? don't be old fashioned. this ain't the Dead

[@temple13]

Alaina and Patrick - the greatest hair-do combo in rock n roll.

[@HeyyJillian]

At their show I leaned over to my friend and go “I wonder if when they were getting started they decided to have iconic and distinct hairstyles as a part of their brand or if they’re just effortlessly so cool”

[@Sam-hh3ry]

KEXP studio is producing true recording treasures. They are awesome and sound great in this recording!

[@sashasalazar2272]

Saw Tennis at the Hollywood Palladium and hands down they put on one of the best performances I’ve seen. Alaina is just such a bright, fun, comforting energy, and Patrick adds a soft and melodic touch. Paper is probably one of my fav tracks on the new album💿 💚

[@jackshepp4379]

Best concert I've been to this year, energy, passion and good music all rolled into one, can't wait for the next one Tennis, on fire right now 🔥🙌

Love me some Smokey Brights

[@adrd208]

She has a lovely voice!! My mom taught me to play piano and tennis, we both suffer from allergies. Its uncanny how much she looks like my mom did before she died. Making me a little emotional.

[@Nekyar23]

One more band that I have never heard of before and learned to like through KEXP. Thank you very much!

[@mcnuggetjo1]

First video to pop up on my feed this morning. This is going to be a good day!

[@xSwordLilyx]

This station is where I get all my best music and best live versions. Everything is always perfectly stripped every time, raw. And you guys have Tennis on all the time!

[@EliteSports24]

The sound quality is unbelievable. Sounds just like they’re studio recordings

[@bastianriehs6116]

can we please talk about the quality pf these e drums and the samples?! 🤤🤤🤤

[@rramos120776]

Saw Tennis in Houston in May. Great show! I only came across them about a year ago and love their music!

Caught y'all in Austin last month, so good. This session is FANTASTIC!

[@rinaizhere]

💖LOVE TENNIS 💖 Saw them live at the Rivera Theater in Chicago and it WAS the best night out I’ve had since like ever 🥹

[@robertreynolds2212]

What beautiful sound. You can hear the passion in their composition. Very unique & underrated group.

[@dylanlee32]

Paper is my favorite from the new album, and one of my favorites by them overall. They played it at the Denver show as well, so glad they've been showcasing it live!

[@prussianblue1098]

Pollen Song is my fave!

[@tombittikoffer412]

These people are gold! Been loving their videos too!

[@E744763Productions]

Pollen is such a fantastic record

[@teniscoraisdepontanegra]

Great !

[@adhistylarasati1016]

Tennis's songs somehow makes me feel nostalgic, although I normally don't listen to songs from the '50s or such like theirs, but absolutely love their songs, such a great band! Please come to Indonesia 😄

[@metaldetectorists76]

Really like this band KEXP. Any group that has a lookalike Tim Burgess playing in gets a thumbs up from me. The third track they play is beautiful. 😅

Can you plz post this to your Instagram. I love them so much. I saw them in Seattle last year ans this year in San Diego

Nowadays people focus on mainstream garbage and don’t appreciate really iconic talents, tennis is so underrated.

At exactly 12:19 the blonde guitarist really lets go of all his inhibitions.

[@flagfootballhighlights]

Toight like a toiger 🐅

[@AndrewSmith-qw5kt]

Cool. Not one, but TWO songs about a Valet!

[@xxxUsulxxx]

the name could be "the tennis"

[@tmgriffiths20]

This live sound is a bit thin in my opinion. No harmonies? One of guys can't do a harmony to thicken up some vocal sections? There is also important elements not played live in some songs like the lower octave piano chord at the end of One Night with the Valet and the synth fill from Hotel Valet that is prominent especially going into the last vocal part of the song. I would be a bit disappointed if I was going out and paying to see this live considering the album sounds incredible.

[@waynedexter]

No offense to this band because I like what they’re giving. But with that said the KEXP sound engineers can make any band sound incredible or pretty close to it. So major props to them.

[@rinaizhere]

They are amazing live obviously

[@ionalee]

saw them live in oakland, it sounds exactly like the studio recording

[@HydroponicCatatonic]

KEXP engineers did not record and mix this, Marc Whitmore did

[@taoforte8988]

Pfffft

[@BueiroAbertonoUniverso25]

origins :/

[@alvin156]

Sometimes I think Band should have better manager to advise a better name. I mean, Daughter, Girls, Tennis, etc. How do you expect people to search you. I love all these bands though

[@waynedexter]

I guess adding the word “band” to your search would be too much work 😒

[@carlosgarza216]

You just need a couple of brain cells

[@JimOV79]

I really like them, but the acute voice it's definitely not her thing

[@Brandon-bc5um]

I was hype when I saw this but then theyre not playing any of their good stuff? wtf? Did they forget about young & old or what?

[@AbundanceTribe]

earfquake tyler the creator lol

[@MarcusGabrieliii]

I saw this band live last night. It was the worst show I have been to ever. I had very high expectations. They need a new mix! Sounded terrible in the pit

[@bikepower1378]

sound the same all the time very bad singer
