I've been a Wet Leg nay-sayer and sour-puss for a while, mostly because I couldn't grasp how they could become so stratospherically successful off the back of such a whimsical ditty. However even I must reluctantly admit they've grown on me despite myself. They certainly have something going that's both refreshing and evocative of our post-lockdown zeitgeist. I wish them well and look forward to seeing what comes next.

@@brettveldboom2296 It is easier in the sense that we have powerful tools and platforms. However, the good bands don't often rise to the top, so you really have to exercise those tools. And the great bands you find, probably aren't going to be on any top 10 or top 20 lists, or on the radio (I know, no one listens to radio anymore). In the 70s and 80s, and to a lesser extent, in the 90s, you couldn't escape hearing great music. There are far more talented musicians today, than ever. I think one of the problems today is that there isn't a ton of great song writing. That's just my opinion though. Another challenge for finding good music is that there’s a very low friction path to producing and getting your music onto the various platforms. So there’s a lot more noise to wade through.

Good, thoughtful documentary. I'd noticed your point of Rhian deciding to laugh about and mock her low-quality ex and equally low-quality social life, rather than mourning them. But your comment about "the band" - the group of friends with shared lives, shared hardships, and a shared goal - coming back just after COVID lockdown is a good one. Because part of Wet Leg's appeal IS their friendship - two smart, witty girls, sisters in all but blood, and three amiable doofus guys like little brothers tagging along.

I find this SUPER interesting (whereas your normal video are merely very interesting), because I remember as a kid, building an induction loop to record phone conversations without any direct contact with the electrical connections. A pal of mine ended up getting a good telling off from his mum and dad, who got a good telling off from a GPO engineer, as he had messed with the wiring of their phone line - I think he'd shorted it out as 8t happens. Now, my induction experiments were hugely unsatisfying, despite using two Darlington pairs of transistors for amplification (I hadn't heard of 741s at the time). I fairness, at the time, modems relied on "acoustic couplers" with a mic on one side and a speaker on tother, with big bits of circular sponge to fit around the round handset bits of the then current telephone handsets. All joking aside, "British Telecom" master telephone sockets shortly afterwards featured a hidden "plug and socket" built into the unit, where the "plug" half featured screw terminals to allow extensions to be connected, but was only connected to the telephone network via "plug and socket" (even though it was basically hardwired, but not really). They used to make a lot of fuss about ringer equivalence number, so that people didn't hook up too many extensions to their line (from memory the limit was 3, but much later, some devices appeared with REN values of zero point something... In any case, fascinating video as always. Thank you!!!

These things don't just "happen" I'm afraid like this account brushes It over , Labels these days do not accept unsolicitated demos let alone show interest in a group that has no following, no songs exceptt one ,no exposure at all ,nothing ?? Just a bedroom demo !?? So going on the infomation and narrative presented here , just how DID Domino just happen to pick up and take the time to listen to an unsolicited demo that might as well ,from the story told here , have come from my 15 yr old daughter and her friends when they muck about In her bedroom on her guitar and keyboard? I'm not on a downer about Wet Leg musically at all , I'm delighted they WERE picked up and really like their music and I like the romantacised notion that this could still happen like this today but the reality Is it really doesn't So where or what was the "IN" that they MUST have had but for sone reason Isn't mentioned ?

Great video. They're one of the most refreshing bands I've heard in a long time. Actually, it's been awhile but there have been some great bands coming out lately (mostly Australia, though) like Amyl and the Sniffers and the Chats - which you alluded to.

I feel like it should be pointed out that the Mean Girls quote was likely loosely inspired by Prince's often used line, "Ain't nothin' but a muffin, got a lotta butter to go."

I'm from Bristol, England and this is a great doc! Thanks so much but the info at 3.45 about how they got there name is incorrect. it stems from a local saying from people on the Isle of Wight; anyone visiting the island has to take a 'wet leg' over the water to get there and that's why Rhian and Hester choose the name. (See below because I have been rightly corrected. Rhian and Hester made a joke about the ‘wet leg’ journey to IOW which has fooled quite a lot of fans. So read the 2 replies from Pie Green as this is correct).

I'm from the IOW and wet leg were joking about naming the band after people getting wet legs getting off their boats . We call people on holiday grockles and none island born Overners. Island born are corkheads.

Yep, Pie's right - the name doesn't stem from a local saying at all...

@@piegreen7915 okay, I must think that you’re right but… Rhian and Hester have stated the reason for their band name in 2 different interviews (known), on KZitem - one is on the channel Diffus - and have not corrected themselves after. Rhian mentions overners in the same sentence as to, ‘getting a wet leg’ when coming to the island. Slightly different to your description of an overner; indeed your version would mean Rhian is an overner as she was born in Liverpool, moving to the IOW aged about 8. Grockles is used to describe tourists in many parts of Britain. Sometimes, Bristolians joke that others moving to Bristol have to qualify for a city passport.

@@piegreen7915 thanks for clearing that up Pie. I haven’t watched much of their Brits stuff yet, I’ve been meaning to catch up with it. Wet Leg have fooled quite a lot of people with that joke though and doing it twice! Lol. A great band so they should be allowed poetic license. BTW; Corkheads is a great name.

Love them. And I only just discovered their music. Takes me back to the '90's.. By the way, pay no mind to the haters Rhian; let them stew in their own negativity. These times need more Wet Leg. Keep on rocking ❤💦🦵

It's been well over a decade since I've seen a rock song have the impact that "Chaise Longue" has had. And it hasn't just caught on among a "rockist" audience; Wet Leg seems to be popular even with people who were previously indifferent to guitars, much like the Strokes and Arctic Monkeys were.

I first heard them on KZitem shorts. Over and over and i was like "wtf is this??" I feel like they are literally the cutting edge. They tapped into the primal force of creation and were rewarded for their honesty. Just fantastic. Looking forward to their development.

Chaise Longue has a distinct 80s indie vibe musically and the music video reminds me of The Cure's Let's go to bed.
