Release Notes:

Tennis and The Mennonites is the bizarre union of Jerstin Crosby and rotating
cast of characters known as the Mennonites that come together in the humble town
of Chapel Hill, NC. The band's first release, an EP entitled "Wicked Man", is
based around Crosby's folk-meets-punk style songwriting and is a perfect example
of how the band tends to materialize: form meets chaos. The EP features members
of The Honored Guests and Pleasant, including Andrew Kinghorn of The Guests on
drums and Maria Albani of Pleasant on bass. "Wicked Man's" release saw favorable
reviews (I need a quote here) and was added to local college radio.

Immediatley after the release of the EP, Stuart Cullinan joined the band full
time on the drums and Kinghorn moved to the role of guitar and producer. Tennis
have had a busy year and have shared the stage with such acts as Superchunk
(Merge), Rogue Wave (SubPop), The Honored Guests (Breakfast Mascot), Mazarin (I
and Ear), The Rosebuds (Merge), I am the World trade Center (Gammon) and (I need
anyone else that you might feel is important here) whiling touring the East
Coast.

The band has released their first full length album, the aptly titled "Quilt
Noise", on October 7th and plans to continue touring throughout the rest of 2006
and into 2007 with newest mennonite, Kyle Long on bass. "Quilt Noise" is an
18-track album of songs from 3 different studios, 3 different producers, 7 band
members, and a ridiculous amount of instruments and ideas. The album is
available in select stores and online under the Breakfast Mascot Record Label.
