Wet Leg

Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers each wear a small gold necklace made by Hester: one that says Wet, and one that says Leg. Until recently, those necklaces would have been cryptic to almost everyone else. But this is Wet Leg's world now, and the rest of us just live in it. Wet Leg is cathartic and joyful and punk and scuzzy and above all, it's fun. "Wet Leg was originally just supposed to be funny" says Rhian. More and more people are now in on the joke with the two of them, but that spirit remains at the centre of what they do. "Home is now behind you. The world is ahead" concludes Hester. The world is very much paying attention.
