THE TENNIS SYSTEM (LA) + O Fool (stLLL) at Pig Slop

Time
Sunday, September 25 · 8:00pm - 11:00pm

the tennis system (LA)

"If My Bloody Valentine & Sonic Youth had a baby with The Kinks it would be named Tennis System."

Originally from Washington D.C., Matty Taylor and Misha Bullock of Tennis System trade in ferocious, melodic neo-shoegaze along with them, and they’ve recruited Christopher Norman and Guylaine Vivarat (formerly of L.A.’s Useless Keys) to round out the lineup. Their songs are heavy on the reverb and hooks, but even with all the atmosphere the four-piece doesn’t exactly fall into the dream-pop genre. However, it is certainly apparent that Tennis System winningly converges the worlds of noise and melody, because we’re left humming long after an episode of intense air drumming.
