[Bobbisox1]

Never watched it but saw ‘Wet Leg’ was up fo an award, do they pick these names so people take notice?
( mind you I love Rag n Bone man )

Wet Leg are a couple of young women from the Isle of Wight - had a big success with a catchy song called Chaise Longue. Just won a Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album. Festival crowds love them:

Strange name tho ;)

[Hopkirk]

Their biggest song is called 'Wet Dream'.

The duo's name apparently has nothing to do with 'little accidents' (or, indeed, to being in the company of a poorly-trained dog). However they've provide different reasons for choosing the name.


Quote:
"According to a December 2021 interview, they chose the name by playing a game—picking different emoji combinations; on getting to Wet Leg, it stuck. In an interview with Diffus posted on YouTube in April 2022, the band stated that their name came from an Isle of Wight epithet to describe non-locals on the island. Those who had crossed the Solent to reach the isle were said to have a wet leg from getting off the boat"

Wet Leg are a group (not just 2 women) from the Isle of Wight and they are awesome. So pleased for them that they have won a couple of Brit awards.

There are two members in the band, as I said, plus three 'touring members'.

Must admit i put the subtitles on as i thought i had misheard such a stupid name. Didnt know who half the others were either.

Feeling really old!!

I've not heard of them, but haven't innovative groups always had names to match? Certainly did in the 60s...70s...80s...

Oh to long for the good old days when bands had sensible names like Tangerine Dream, Haysi Fantaysi and Strawberry Alarm Clock eh?

[Prudie]

Goodgoalie I have been following this band for some time. Just because wiki calls them touring members the same 3 guys are always with them and play on the singles, albums and live gigs. They are a group of 5 people.

Chaise Longe is a fun song, they have got a good future. There is a girl group in Norfolk called " Lets Eat Grandma ", they are genuine.

Wet Leg stole the show in my opinion.

The thing is, no one asked for it back I’m afraid.

I thought the bloke in the pink hat was an impostor …

[Bobbisox1]

Was the name that tickled me, that’s all

I got to listen to some of their songs. now I'm thinking why do they remind me so much of kate nash/ lilly allen
