Tennis Is Not Only a Sport, but Also a Band

It's Sunday. Some of us had a late night yesterday. I'm not pointing fingers or counting shots of tequila, but not all of us are feeling a hundred percent. And it's 3:00. In the afternoon.

Hungover or not, we can all agree that Tennis is a winsome little band. Made up of a husband and wife duo hailing from Denver, this is their story:

The idea for the project began one day a couple of years ago when Alaina made fun of Patrick for playing tennis in college, which is an elitist rich man’s sport. A year later the two fled their hometown Denver to spend eight months sailing and exploring the North Atlantic coast. During their adventures they began writing music together documenting their experiences. (Via Underwater Peoples)

Alongside their quaint beginnings is a knack for infectious pop. The group has two three songs on their Myspace, one of which is the fantastic "Marathon," a charming chronicle of some of the more nerve-racking moments of their maritime journey.

Tag the tandem as seafaring, poppy, cute, catchy, and hangover-approved.
