[ATTENDED: March 12, 2022] Wet Leg
Wet Leg became a huge sensation on the basis of one song.
“Chaise Longue” was suddenly everywhere. And it’s a weird, catchy, funny song with lots of talking a lot of repetition. It hit all of my buttons and I was immediately a fan.
But it was so strange that the band had just this one song out–nothing else online or anywhere. NPR Music introduced me to the song in July 2021. They had a second single “Wet Dream” out in September. And that was that–two songs and an album promised in 2022.
And they announced a tour of the States in November. Somehow I missed the announcement because I would have totally gotten tickets at PhilMOCA. And it sold out pretty quickly. Then at some point it was announced that it was moved to Underground Arts and more tickets were available. I grabbed one immediately and it soon sold out at UA as well.
I thought the show would be fun, but I also thought that the band was a kind of left-field, one hit wonder who it would be fun to see because they’d probably never come back. Heck, they seemed like they might just make the one album and be done.
So my expectations weren’t super high, but I assumed I’d have a good time. (more…)
