Isle of Wight band, Wet Leg, had their latest single premiered on BBC Radio 6Music channel today (Monday).
Steve Lamacq, introduced the new single, Angelica, on his afternoon show (73 mins in), referring to the band members Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers on first name terms.
Good times all the time
The track is named after the lovely Angelica, one of Rhian’s oldest friends, and is another corker of a track.
Rhian Teasdale from the band says,
“It’s laced with disenchantment even though the chorus is good times all the time.”
If you were hoping there’d be another episode of Wet Leg on film, you’re in for a treat.
Crossing the pond
The band are heading over in the U. S. of A. this week, for their second tour in the States, playing to sold out shows in Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Chicago, Boston and New York among many others, not to mention Portland and Tucson which we reckon will be right up their street.
The band will be back in the UK from the beginning of April for their debut album release (see more about that below).
Vogue: “The World’s Buzziest New Band”

An interview with Corey Seymour reveals just a few more snippets of info about the Islanders that you might not have already known and refers to the Wet Leg as “The World’s Buzziest New Band”.
