Praise for WET LEG
“moisturizer was fierce and more muscular, equally funny but considerably less whimsical, and with a glut of killer alt-rock anthems” Mojo #10 Albums of the Year
“moisturizer is a blast” The Guardian, ★★★★
“Now expanded to a five-piece, with a richer, gnarlier sound to match, they’ve sidestepped the common fate of oddballs who crash the mainstream: rather than smoothing their edges, they’ve leaned into what made them strange” Crack
“{They] crafted one of the year’s most anticipated indie-rock albums” Billboard
“moisturizer is a bold, confident blast fuelled by the security and invincibility of a deep love” Uncut Album of the Month 8/10
“All the playful swagger and frenetic energy fans have long loved about the band” NPR Music
“moisturizer is a victory lap and a bold step forward all at once. It’s the sound of a band revelling in their own weirdness, poking fun, and somehow still writing some of the catchiest songs of the year” Dork, ★★★★★
“Wet Leg’s return is a knockout” NME, ★★★★
“An unorthodox, melodramatic love anthem” Stereogum
“moisturizer is a wonderfully crafted piece of work that cements Wet Leg’s staying power” DIY, ★★★★
“catch these fists’ has a precocious punk-like feel to proceedings, adding a jagged edge to the pop of their debut” Clash
“Wet Leg are back with a vengeance” Rolling Stone

Fresh from their three Grammy nominations last month – for Alternative Performance (‘mangetout’), Alternative Album, and Best Album Cover, Wet Leg share the new video for ‘pokemon’.
The band’s second album moisturizer is largely an album about being, as the band exclaim on ‘pond song’, so “DEEP! IN! LOVE!!!!” and it contains love songs of every stripe: stressed-out, gooey-eyed, gratuitously horny, blissed out, obsessive, mysterious. On ‘pokemon’, Rhian Teasdale takes in nearly all of these emotions across its three and a half minutes running time.
The video – directed by Elliott Arndt of Faux Real – who are a frequent tour support for Wet Leg – reveals a story of a person (played by Alice Longyu Gao) in an unusual relationship with a giant egg, a fitting entry into the surreal Wet Leg archive.

Wet Leg have just finished their UK & Ireland headline tour including a thundering show at London’s Royal Albert Hall. The band head back to the US later this month before heading to Australia and New Zealand in February for Laneway Festival, along with two headline shows in Melbourne (sold out) and Sydney.
Full tour dates below and tickets on sale here.
Wet Leg are Rhian Teasdale, Hester Chambers, Ellis Durand (bass), Henry Holmes (drums), and Joshua Mobaraki (guitar, synth).

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
