Tennis - What's In My Bag?

[@MrChrisStingray]

Such a great duo. Tennis is so underrated that it’s criminal. I bought their new album today at a local record store and the employee said they are so great.

[@TurboYeti72]

Their passion for the music they love is infectious. How can you not cheer for music fans of this level? Really cool.

[@slowdancers]

Alaina and Patrick are truly some of the sweetest, most incredible AND underrated artists working today, makes me so, so happy to see them do an episode!!!! Also, incredible new recommendations in here

[@sea1themall]

She could interrupt me anytime she wants

[@PinkDesertEagle]

I tell everyone I meet about Tennis! They're so underrated!

[@hashtagdag]

Minnie Riperton... omg... everything she touched was brilliant, in particular, when she fronted the Chicago group, Rotary Connection. Her heavenly vocals on "If I Sing My Song" bathed in stellar orchestration and production values can't ever be replicated.

[@dmnoden]

I love this band. My wife and I took our then 11 year old son to see them at Red Rocks for his first concert. Such a great band.

[@riggamorrischan]

Cute! to experience tennis as your first concert is super dope

[@greymilk]

I saw my first concert at red rocks when I was 11 too!

[@crimsonshadow7459]

I FREAKING LOVE TENNIS!! DIAMOND RINGS, ORIGINS, RUNNER SO MANY HIT SONGS!!

[@spamspaz]

Legitimately might be my favourite band of the last few years and seeing them being such sweethearts is gorgeous. Lovely.

[@Bullseye_Strength]

Such a *MASSIVELY* underrated band. I only got to hear of them from Matt Berry's *What's In My Bag?*

[@jissanhuq3792]

Same! Its how i was introduced too n now a huge fan

[@HD-cp1fg]

Same! Want more of bands crossadvicing each other on Amoeba!

[@TheDiamond2009]

I stumbled across them on a cracking Mojo cover CD called The Black Keys and Friends, and it was a song called It All Feels The Same. It’s a great song, poppy, really infectious. I really must check them out.

[@jissanhuq3792]

@@HD-cp1fg i feel they likely know this is an ideal time for them to make it bigger too. I feel they deserve it after having such a great catalogue already

[@ProphetofBauu]

Same same. What got me into vinyl. So glad I saw that one!

[@BernsteinOmega]

Yes! More love for Broadcast. One of my top 10 bands of all.

[@bullyfoot]

You can hear the love of true fandom of music in their music. I can hear several of these artist’s influences in their music, especially the Shirelles.

[@stack_of_records]

Laura Nyro ... have all her early albums. Great song writer! And vocalist. And great pick with Broadcast!! And Electric Prunes! Great psych.

[@griiseknoen]

*Hooray for Tennis!* Not only do they make GREAT music but they just helped me find even MORE great music made by other people. This video was a GOLDMINE!

[@Pek1227]

For the first time someone chooses Eli and the thirteenth confession by the great Laura Nyro! I was waiting for this day haha. One of my fav albums of all time :)

[@nursebridgie]

❤

[@Elrond_Hubbard_1]

I really love the Amoeba channel. I've found a lot of great new artists and bands by listening to lots of other great artists talking about their favourite stuff. I found Tennis about 6 months ago by watching another Amoeba interview which was with one of my favourite humans, Matt Berry.

[@Rubicon1985]

Such a good band. So talented - possibly my favourite of the last few years and they seem lovely too!

[@denverrandy7143]

I'm so happy to see a local band from here in Denver doing so well...Can't wait to see them this spring!!!👍

[@TheFourteenthWard]

So happy to hear them talking about the amazing Laura Nyro. They also have a few songs that mention her (Mean Streets, Runner)

[@Flying_turnip187]

I love Tennis! This was great! I love finding “new” music from my favorite artists. This was a real treasure on KZbin! Thank you 🙏!

[@EliteSports24]

I love them so much. They deserve so much more love with their beaming incredible music

[@Sektion9]

Props for representing Broadcast. Underrated band.

[@calumas]

big props for the built to spill, spiritualized, broadcast and bjork picks!

[@counterpuncher01]

I love Laura Nyo's effect on Alaina, and now need to look deeper into her catalog on Alaina's recommendation. As a singer-songwriter myself, I'm grateful to Laura's inspiration now too because Alaina Moore helped me ever-perfect my own head voice begun by channeling Helen Reddy...not to mention my adoration for the clearly-divinely-inspired masterpiece "Mean Streets,".LOOOOOVE IT.

[@carltwidle9046]

Hello Good picks. I'm in my sixties, and I remember that song Too much to Dream by the Electric Prunes. It's a great trippy song. I like Minnie Ripperton she had an international hit with Lovin You in 1975. She sadly died in 1979 with cancer. I remember girl groups of the 1960s, the Shirelles, and others like the Crystal's, and the Ronettes. My favorite girl group were the Shangri Las. From Carl in New Zealand

[@icnocuicatl]

TENNIS is a great band! Been obsessed with them for about 5 years now, and their music is so good

[@emilybalcerak7861]

Really really truly great, pure artists. So happy to see this episode come up in my feed!

[@dylanlee32]

So excited for this, Pollen is great and so is Tennis in general!

[@Mikeropod]

Love to see the love for "Keep It Like A Secret," just shows BtS can be anything they *want* to be. What a classic album.

[@Brumiohji55]

Can't wait to see them in LA. Of course miss girl is a Bjork fan!

[@1feloniouspunk]

First thought: AHHHHHHH! I want Amoeba! Second thought: Love them.

[@GrandTourVideos]

Tennis is the most important band of my late 20s/early 30s. I know one day I'll look back fondly while listening to their albums.

[@PapaV78]

Great choices. Loved this. Tender buttons one of my favorite records. Vespertine is the greatest album of all time.

[@davidellis5141]

They picked up Pure Phase by Spiritualized .. One of the best albums of the 90's !! 💊 I ❤️ Tennis 🎾

[@YTPEXPERT]

Come to my garden is a song I love but never really thought about. Going to listen again after this

[@Luminik_GG]

Built to Spill is FUNDAMENTAL - great pick

[@icebear2049]

wow! I loved all their cool anecdotes, and the sentiment! we need Doug from built to spill to do a "what's in my bag?"!

[@thelegendarye2430]

Fuck yes

[@numerohvh]

he's done it now!!

[@BobReich]

Oh man, I want that Built to spill bootleg, that was the best-sounded gig I have ever been to! I heard, not sure its true, but I heard Phil Ek was their sound engineer on that tour.

[@mulletman4600]

great! lovely little stories about every pick

[@nohelyzepeda2443]

i love THEM so much!! incredible sweet talented people, and music duo. even cuter that they're a married couple. they r so underrated

[@carossetti]

Talented. Thanks for making quality music.

[@JAHWH00]

Bjork "Earth Queen" ...accurate. Infinite love and gratitude from Colorado!

[@patirosendo913]

So many great records. Another reason to love you guys!

[@ghosts3457]

Of course it’s mostly Alaina interacting with the crowd at shows, so it’s nice to see more of Pat! He has a great presence lol

[@thelegendarye2430]

Someone finally picked Built to Spill. I’ve waited so long for this. Best band ever

[@Themsbeatlesrock]

Come to my garden is an epic album start to finish.

[@howamilooking5952]

Broadcast!!! Yaaay. Ha Ha Sound is top 10 all time for me, but this album is on point too. Glad I got to see them before Trish passed. 😢♥️♥️♥️

[@peterlarkin762]

Still hits me in the guts, she was one in a trillion. They released an album posthumous with lots of her unreleased vocals, worth a spin.

[@KevinoftheCosmos]

Tennis is incredible. I got tickets to see them in Pittsburgh THIS MONTH!! I'm so excited.

[@Mylittlemonchichi]

I love their comments about stepping outside the box of pop punk. I am 40 and Its 100% true. I was afraid to like what i wanted because of prerequisite taste. I also fell in love with Built to Spill, Modest Mouse, Sunny Day Real Estate, Pavement, Elliot Smith. Etc and kind of hid my love for different stuff i was digging.

[@FuchsiaPandaBear]

Yessssss! So excited to see them, definitely one of my favorite bands

[@jacobgates1986]

I remember when heard tennis on KUNM college radio station in Albuquerque New Mexico and immediately went crate digging for them(tennis) and got excited to finding a tennis self titled CD and i was so happy to get home, dug out my CD/radio player out and it ended up being a CD about the history of the sport tennis 😳😂 , wasted 10 bucks .

[@miagutierrez2578]

love them so much! cant wait to see them in houston! great recs 👌

[@Bolt24HotSounds]

Good tips! I'm picking up Jim Sullivan now.

[@charliemarino9813]

Easily my favorite artist interview, thanks!

[@kodyjames]

Recently just discovered these guys. Absolute love the style and especially in lets make a mistake tonight. Great band and people! And just found they are from Denver like me! Makes it even cooler!

[@Bm0ney]

Pagan Poetry!! Reminded me I have an Infusion unreleased version of that track that I've always loved .... and will definitely be checking out Tennis tomorrow!!

[@ryanw2544]

These two have good taste.

[@3wbasie]

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE

[@jonbongjovi1869]

i wanna see her duet with Brian May of Queen (who still has his long curls, but they're silver / gray)!

[@shanefleming6027]

it’s amazing to see how many artist pick björk records when citing a lot of their influences.

[@davidgaliata75]

It's crazy, I love Tennis and I am a fan of about 90% of the albums they chose. :)

[@rebeccassweetmusic4632]

YESS!!!! I AM SO GLAD SHE IS TALKING ABOUT LAURA NYRO. SHE IS A SUPER UNDERRATED MUSICIAN AND SONGWRITER

[@nursebridgie]

Haha same!!! I was like 😍😍😍😍😮😮😮😮

[@Saintdream3]

Love how they talk about music, their taste & that they think Spiritualized is sexy haha

[@Saintdream3]

One of my favorite episodes!! They are sooooooo sweet & passionate!

[@packagedbeans608]

i've added each and every track they brought up on spotify and i'm ready to achieve enlightenment

[@dougcallaghan6075]

Check out 'Gibraltar' from their new album "Pollen" and 'Matrimony II' from their last album "Swimmer". Two of their finest songs.

[@sentientautomaton]

Thinking I couldn't be any more sold on Alaina and then she pulls out the Björk record. ♥

[@kuglepen64]

Love Tennis.

[@nicolaslancien1969]

They make great music and seems to be such nice people !!

[@sevenpoundsalad3878]

Yeah man! I want that bootleg you made of Built to Spill!

[@evedotcom]

Not Pet Sounds… more of a Third Eye Blind guy 😂 I respect it.

[@ronpaizley9349]

Ahh Minnie's & Charlse Stepney's Masterpiece "come to my garden" I like these people already

[@evilscientistrecords]

Great picks!!! RIP Trish Keenan.

[@lamecasuelas2]

Aww, they love each other!❤❤

[@cub69420]

They're both so cool.

[@ohfenomeno]

Excellent band. Ritual in repeat is one of the greatest albums ever

[@threestringsomg]

The world is divided between those who have listened to and been brought under the spell of the amazing Tender Buttons and those who have not. My heart broke when Trish passed. Saw them at Koko London and was dream come true to see the dream pop monarchs live. Will def be checking Pollen out after this!👍 Loving the varied but full of personal stories choices.

[@miketomlin6040]

I feel like I am back in 1973 listening to these two talk about pop records.

[@Kkidzz]

The entire Broadcast catalog is tremendous…..I bet they both flipped the first time they heard the first few bass bars on the track ‘Corporeal’ off of Tender Buttons. I know I did.

[@OngoingBox]

really enjoyed this one

[@Warnerchild]

jennifer grey from ferris bueller is that you?

[@kyleag86]

the way she looks at him ❤ so cute

[@Walrus286]

Keep it like a Secret is a masterpiece

[@counterpuncher01]

Patrick Riley may as well write a book called, "How to figure out life," because he has. He reminds me of Peter Buck on many levels. The biggest difference being Patrick's singer creates MORE fans in interviews. Peter now spends his own interviews in damage control for his singer's interviews..

[@wormposting]

i do neeeed the built to spill recording actually omg

[@popstar1964]

Another Millennium obsessive. Love Tennis even more now!

[@portisheadthird3]

amazing

[@quinnin123]

Great band, great picks.

[@erichstevens3246]

They are SO married lol. But a very cool What’s In My Bag episode. Thank you!

[@SuperAdamh1]

Tender Buttons - I don't know much about Broadcast but I know what a tender button is (and yes, GS)

[@jeromesanta6307]

Yes !! a Bjork fan !!!

[@in_cursive]

I love Tennis so much. Anyone who likes them should also listen to TOPS and Molly J Burch.

[@Marcus-cs2bz]

Never clicked on a video so fast

[@maragarva9892]

bjork, broadcast, and laura nyro ???? she's so tasteful

[@flipflopnerd4759]

jim sullivan is a great choice!

[@birdworldist]

Luv u so much, tennis!!! 🎾

[@hectords164]

hey pat, Ive recently discovered built to spill. Wanna send over that bootleg live recording ;)

[@Japan_of_Green_Gables]

Is her "we gotta feed the meter" dance a reference to something?

[@packagedbeans608]

they're so lovely i adore tennis :')

[@jorgep1]

Can my man finish talking before being interrupted? lol. Great ep either way! Love Tennis.

[@manonthemoon6628]

They are so married haha they finish each other’s sentences

[@msdeyed4800]

Oh Danny, I wasn’t at Coachella but I was floored watching it on livestream in the comfort of my home. Sooo thrilled you did it again and more at the Bowl. Please make it an annual event. Is fans can take a break from NBC and enjoy so much more! Such an INCREDIBLE performance!!

[@themixdproject9013]

I love you guys so much

[@Alexardelean89]

I can’t stop listening to let’s make a mistake tonight. I sing at work.

[@Alexardelean89]

Cape dory was my first introduction to tennis.
