WET LEG a girl band from the Isle of Wight on Domino Records

song's vibe is more like "Oh No" than "Chaise Longue". also the lyrics -- she says "Oh No" a bunch.

i listened to "chaise longue" and it sounds like a standard rock song. should i read this thread and find out what all the controversy is?

no

the exact same argument crops up every couple months, so just wait til next time

but what these advantages are seems hard to pin down.

that's only because it's considered gauche and tacky to assume the obvious

doesn't usually stop you

should i read this thread and find out what all the controversy is?

the last line

yeah fuck the Red Cross I don't understand if you meant "omg good" or "omg surprising" or ?

I think he meant the last line of bands, ie Wet Leg's @ Glasto. The Isle of Wight Machine rolls on.

yeah Red cross thing was a joke, I get that the point = Wet Leg are playing Glastonbury, but there acts in that list I've never heard of, so Wet Leg's presence doesn't seem that notable to me? anyway, I actually don't care about this band, not sure why I'm posting itt lol

I was just hoping to throw more fuel on the highly entertaining bonfire of this thread

got it

I don't get it. Is this "festival" in California or Texas?

it is kind of amazing how many of my current musical betes noires are on that bill (along with quite a few acts I actually like tbf)

wet leg aren't in the top ten menaces there

every big festival poster I see has 5-10 acts I would love to see if I had a Star Trek teleporter so I could just beam in to those sets and not have to deal with any of the aspects of going to a festival

otm except 2-3

The top-billed stars appearing to be immune to the tyranny of alphabetization seems weird to me. Having a hard time imagining people being more excited to see Diana Ross than Megan, Lorde, or Phoebe Bridgers

let alone Gaz coombes

I will never let alone Gaz Coombes

It’s pretty obvious Diana Ross will be the Sunday headliner. It’s a slot reserved for the likes of Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton etc.

…and, you know, in 2065…. Wet Leg.

out of Diana Ross and Wet Leg, only one had the ILM track of the year, so who's bragging now?

wouldn't actually be the first time a band from the isle of wight has headlined on the sunday

Um, it's an alphabetical list.

Maybe they needed to be called "A Wet Leg"

A hundred stages? Really?

yeah they set up around the perimeter of a field and blast away at each other, where you stand determines the mix of what you’re hearing

that is a very good glastonbury line up IMO

we are foes

(lol sorry drunk)

oh dear, full screen ad on my Instagram feed featuring the goofy dancing from the new video

I don’t even follow many bands

Aha! The marketing, spotted in the wild.

another Domino falls

I live in Tasmania which is pretty much exactly the opposite side of the world from the Isle of Man, so the global reach is complete

but the Isle of Wight is 109 kilometers closer!

the Isle of Wight Man lies between the two

Someone should trace the influence of Britney's "Work Bitch" on Chaise/LaLaLa-type songs.

shit, guess it's a Wight girl summer coming for you folks then

The singer reminds me a bit of Sarah Snook, I’ve just realised.

xpost lollll

Wow, I hadn't looked at this thread in awhile. I hope it brings everyone the catharsis they need.

Wet Leg are playing a bunch of shows on the west coast right now so we saw them again on Wednesday. I gotta give them credit - fuck, I'm sorry, I really dislike pulling rank but over the decades I've sat through so many bullshit bands in Los Angeles that have zero ideas, not enough concept, can't write a hook, take themselves way too seriously, can't play, way too much concept, or even just outright fail at the basic task of being the background music to "can I exchange two tickets for a better beer?" as you obsessive-compulsively side-eye your guitar and amp backstage to make sure they're still there. Wet Leg live right now is killing it with a bunch of songs no one really knows except for big one and maybe the other. Really the only other times I've seen that happen was when I saw The Smiths' first show in LA in '85 and anytime No Doubt played those outdoor shows across the street from UC Irvine in 1990.

Like it or not, Wet Leg write some

Like it or not, Wet Leg write some super sticky hooks.

They’re playing the Fonda next week? Wow. Impressed that they merit a venue of that size.

For rough comparison, we saw Franz Ferdinand at the Troubadour (their 2nd West Coast show), around a month after their first album came out… they blew the roof off the place, it was pretty amazing, but even they didn’t warrant the Fonda. You’re telling me Wet Leg is a bigger draw than straight-out-the-gate Franz Ferdinand?

(My wife just reminded me that we saw FF again at the Avalon, a few months later… so it didn’t take them long to fill a comparable venue. The Blood Arm opened, I forgot about that… talk about an L.A. band that routinely “killed it with a bunch of songs no one really knows”…!)
