The Vogue - Indianapolis, IN

This band is a total vibe. You may recognize the name from yet another top 10 A List. Pretty confident, if you were having a bad day, you could turn your night around upon emersion in the sultry sound of Tennis. There's a term we like to use for this sound, "milky", nurturing and soft.
