About Wet Leg
Formed by Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers on the Isle of Wight, Wet Leg burst onto the scene in 2021 with their debut single “Chaise Longue,” an instant viral hit that captivated audiences with its laconic delivery and absurdly catchy chorus. Their unique blend of indie rock and post-punk revival quickly earned them widespread critical acclaim and a devoted fanbase. The duo’s sound is characterised by minimalist yet potent guitar riffs, driving basslines, and Teasdale’s distinctive, often deadpan, vocal style, frequently punctuated by Chambers’ harmonies.
Their self-titled debut album, released in April 2022, was a commercial and critical triumph, earning them two Grammy Awards for Best Alternative Music Album and Best Alternative Music Performance for “Chaise Longue,” as well as a BRIT Award for Best New Artist. Beyond “Chaise Longue,” tracks like “Wet Dream,” “Ur Mum,” and “Angelica” showcased their consistent ability to craft relatable, often humorous, narratives wrapped in irresistible melodies. The current lineup primarily features Teasdale and Chambers, often joined by a touring band to bring their dynamic studio sound to life on stage. Their rise has been meteoric, solidifying their status as one of the most exciting and original bands to emerge in recent years.
