Tennis is an American indie pop band from Denver made up of husband-and-wife duo Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley. ==History== The couple met each other while studying philosophy in college, and started the band after they got back from an eight-month sailing expedition down the Eastern Atlantic Seaboard.〔 Their songs document their experiences on the water.〔http://pitchfork.com/forkcast/14504-marathon/〕 They took their name from a joke about Riley playing tennis in college.
