Tennis

Husband/wife duo Tennis is back in town. Their forthcoming album Yours Conditionally will be out March 10th via Mutually Detrimental / Thirty Tigers.
Overcoats

Overcoats to open. We saw the duo last May 2016 and noted that the two only found out days before the show that they were actually going out on tour with Matt Corby.

After a year of hiatus, husband and wife duo Tennis came back strong earlier in 2017. We caught the band in March 2017 and mentioned how singer Alaina Moore was pleased at the turnout and fan support.


Their latest release We Can Die Happy came out November 10th on Mutually Detrimental/Thirty Tigers.



Opening up for Tennis will once again be duo Overcoats (Hana Elion and JJ Mitchell).
They’re constantly changing their live performance, from playing live instruments to weird Karaoke performance.



If you saw them in March, I would hazard a guess that they will do a similar setup: pre-recorded music over harmonizing vocals, dressed in angelic white clothing.



Overcoats’ debut album Young is out now on Arts & Crafts.
