The next year is likely to be a big one for Patrick Riley and Alaina Moore, the duo that makes up Tennis, who will be busy touring in support of their Cape Dory album. They’ll spend part of their time on the road with La Sera, the new melancholy pop outfit fronted by Vivian Girl Katy Goodman, and will also take in some shows at SXSW and a few dates in early February with Lord Huron. The tour begins in Salt Lake City on Jan. 27, which is 11 days after Fat Possum is issuing Cape Dory, so just enough time to learn all the songs by heart.
