Best Quarantine Performances of 2020 from Vulture — "Live from the Void: Colorado indie band Tennis. The four-piece fully entered the digisphere with their quarantine livestream shows, launched in October. A shift from their usual dreamy '70s aesthetic, the band jumped forward to the '90s, performing against a changing background reminiscent of screensavers on old PCs and Y2K text. Alaina Moore, playing alongside husband Patrick Riley, shimmies and sways as they dig into their vast discography, including many tracks from their latest album Swimmer, released in February right before quarantine. But they don't just rely on aesthetics. They also delivered a top-notch performance of single "How to Forgive," showcasing the control and capacity of Moore's voice. The group also pulled fans into the void with them by creating an immersive Instagram filter that included the colorful changing background seen in their set.
