To The East

As many of you know, I recently flew back East for the holidays and played a few EP Release shows. I was accompanied by some of my favorite past Tennis System members and we banged out solid sets in both NYC and DC. To say the very least, we had a fvcking blast!! I've been wanting to play a solid show in DC since my departure and it finally happened. Thank you so much to everyone who came and helped us pack the room!





If you haven't already, be sure to pick up your copy of the new EP on a limited edition vinyl run HERE


Happy Holidays!

UNRELEASED TRACK UP FOR FREE DOWNLOAD

When recording 'Teenagers' we had to make a difficult decision as to what songs will be on the record, and which will not. So, to show some appreciation to our fans, we want to give you a free download of the song not included on 'Teenagers'

The track below, 'What Not To Do' was the last song written before entering the studio and just didn't make the cut!

Part Time Punks Session

As many of you know, since moving to LA, our favorite night has quickly become Part Time Punks every Sunday at The Echo. Slowly, but surely, we became regulars to the night and eventually were invited to play some of the showcases. One of the amazing benefits of playing PTP is the Radio Sessions. Much like the amazing John Peel, Michael Stock has captured radio sessions for many of the amazing bands he showcases at his night as they come through Los Angeles.

To date, Tennis System has recorded two radio sessions. Our first, released to a limited 50 CD copies, can only be purchased at live shows or heard on KXLU when Michael is DJ-ing. Our latest session we had some big guns come in and capture video to tie in with the audio. Below is a live session of us recording 'Lovers & Fake Friends'




Tennis System's next appearance at Part Time Punks will be July 28, accompanied by Surf Club and Weekend (record release.) This highly anticipated show WILL sell-out, so be sure to buy your tickets HERE to ensure your spot in the crowd.

Love,
Tennis System

Tour Journal Entry 1- Tour So Far

Hello Everyone,

Thanks for checking-in. So far tour has been great and we haven't even left California! All of the venues have been super sweet and the crowds full of wonderful people. Unfortunately, our radiator blew yesterday so we're stuck in Berkeley while it gets repaired. We want to give an extra special thanks to everyone who has contributed to our Indiegogo Campaign. We're getting closer and closer to our goal and you all are making a dream come true!

Tonight we're in Sacramento for the first time EVER! Pretty stoked for the show tonight. We've been having a great time with our buddies Dead Leaf Echo. If you haven't had a chance to check them out yet, be sure to!

We've been doing a lot of filming and are going to put together some Vlog updates, but since there is a lot of driving we are going to combine days to make for a better view.

If you happen to be in any of the remaining West/Mid-West cities we'd love for you to come out and say hello! Here are some flyers and dates...

Day into Night

So over the the past two days our dear dear friend Claire has been kind enough to follow us around as we tightened up for our MBV night set. She captured some amazing footage and you can see it all here:


It's safe to say that last night was, hands down, the most fun show we have ever played. Thank you so much to everyone who came out, Michael over at Part Time Punks for putting on such a rad night, and to the Echo for providing such a killer venue (our favorite in LA.) It really made our night to see so many of you getting into the songs. Sorry to those who weren't particularly keen on the mosh-pit, but that shit doesn't happen often in LA and really made our night.

Enjoy the video and keep checking back for more updates on the shows, the new record, and the US Tour set for May.

Part Time Punks Presents: My Bloody Valentine Tribute at The Echo

What an unexpected treat the world received yesterday. The new My Bloody Valentine record is, needless to say, amazing. For the first time in years, we were all excited for the release of a record. Not a track, and entire fvcking record!

Still fresh on that high, we want to remind everyone that in exactly one week from today, Sunday February 10, 2013, Tennis System will be playing Part Time Punks' MBV tribute night. This night is hands down the best night going in LA and to top it off with an MBV tribute, it's gonna be insane!



That being said, this night WILL SELL OUT.  Be sure to get your tickets (HERE) in advance to ensure yourself a spot inside for the mayhem that will take place.

Can't wait to see you there!!!!!
