Tonight at the Bluebird, Tennis is celebrating the release of its second record, Young & Old, by playing a hometown show with Mike Marchant, Samurai Buck and Moon Tides. In advance of the Valentine's Day release of the Patrick Carney-produced platter, we caught up with the band about how the outfit ended up working with the Black Keys drummer and how the group's sound has progressed from the first record. If you're going to the show tonight, be sure to check out Tom Murphy's profile, and if you haven't seen the video yet for "Origins," Young & Old's first single, directed by Richard Law, page down to have a look.
