Wet Leg - Chaise Longue (SWG3 Glasgow 17-Nov-22)

[@FrankyHaemmer]

I don't think they're tired of playing this.

[@olderwiser64]

I love how they have the right attitude and talent. They get it that not many bands make it to this point and to have fun as long as they can!

[@CHET1]

All day long all day long play this song on the chaize lounge play this song all day long

[@Baribrotzer]

Wet Leg may usually be considered Rhian and Hester's band - but Ellis and Henry are the motor that make them a great live act, and Joshua adds the special sauce and fills in the cracks.

[@Andy437]

Nah the girls are the band❤️❤️❤️❤️ The 3 ugly guys are 🤮

[@Baribrotzer]

​@@Andy437 Yes, Rhian and Hester are the songwriters, the singers, and the faces. But Henry (session drummer), Joshua (Hester's boyfriend), and Ellis (the best guitarist they knew) are the engine room, and every good band needs a good engine room. And they're all friends, all five of them. That counts.

[@dl.puncea]

"usually considered"... They consider that as well. I totally agree that they all work wonderfully together, but they present the band as Rhian and Hester's band

[@Baribrotzer]

@@dl.puncea ".....they present the band as Rhian and Hester's band....." It is. But the three guys are not anonymous sidemen - they're part of the band. Lots of bands are like that: There'll be one or two main songwriters/vocalists/frontpeople, but all four-or-five are considered band members. Indeed, I'd argue that without Ellis and Henry's energy level and good-natured presence, and without them projecting the clear warmth and friendship among all five, they might not have gotten that far. Part of the point of Wet Leg is that they're likable, down-to-earth, girls/guys-next-door types. You could imagine them as your friends.

[@kingdonward]

I totally agree - that pumping backing is what drives the track. Much as I would LOVE to see them in action, I am too old to pay to see a band play only to discover it's the audience I am actually paying to listen to!

[@jukeboxjohnnie]

Whats interesting is the really clear video of Hesters finger placement near the end, theres enough there to have a go playing at home

Bass line written and played on the Wet Leg album by Michael Champion of The Shutes and Champs

[@timothylangston3560]

The guys in the band get little to no credit when I would bet they are responsible for the lions share of material.

[@TheAmateursOriginalMusic]

They got it goin on!🎸🎸🕺🕺

The moment you live in is the main one that matters, Gomer? All of these eras have shaped the one we find ourselves in, i.e. the present. Keep curious, kiddos!

I like how they're just playing faster now to keep it interesting lol

[@loochtunes]

It's usually done in live concerts by bands to fasten up their songs

[@Troweliton]

Their tite, thare good, they're obviously werkin pros!

[@marksnyder2365]

WOW!

[@billp.8489]

A simple, silly, feel-good song. Not every song has to be Stairway to Heaven.

[@ACDZ123]

Stairway to heaven aghhhh ..burnt out

[@MrChrexp]

What is the audience singing from 0.45-0.50 just before she starts singing? I am sure I heard it at other concerts too.

[@frakbuddy]

"Here we fucking go". It's often chanted at Scottish gigs. Not a fan but some bands really appreciate the love from it!

[@frakbuddy]

Or more accurately it's "here we, here we, here we fucking go"

Hope they don’t do the Boston thing and can repeat their initial success

Frakbuddy: misspelled Longue.

[@crankyfloridian]

Hester is so hot

[@dustynathan6442]

Clever. They've taken a joke and made it into a world-wide hit. She's used her money to work on her appearance (weight, haircut, makeup) and has become a blooming flower. If they can continue down this exact same road, they have a chance at playing 20k-25k arenas in the USA in 2024. Tough to follow up on such a great album. But, honestly, I think they CAN!

[@4vemsnotver87]

Is your muffin buttered ? - wtf ! What kind of euphemism is that 😳

[@sheydoll]

You've never heard of "buttering your muffin" ?

[@theselector4733]

They're asking if you've got your sunscreen on. Skin cancer is a big concern these days.

[@sheydoll]

@theselector4733 that is definitely not how we use it. Buttering your muffin is getting you butt spanked🤣😉

They must be SO bored of playing this.

[@631353]

Yeah, I thought Rhian looked slightly bored in this perfomance.

[@Troweliton]

They were bored when they wrote it. That's why it's so good as an antidote to boredom! Prity sure Iggy wld approve!

[@frarfarf]

are you serious? try being the Rolling Stones with Satisfaction or Green Day with Basket Case

Try as I mite, just can't seem to make it happen. Appreciate yr point, tho. If it's vot da pipple vant, it's all good, maybe..?

Here's the thing, Shad; that's wot they pay their money to go and do. And it's what compels the band to show up. There's many other vids U mite find easier to endure. Keep your ears open!

[@krasnibor]

To quote Ray Wylie Hubbard, “right after you’ve written a song, the first thing you’ve gotta ask yourself is ‘am I willing to play it for the next - what is it now - 38 years?’”

[@mikewood9514]

This happens when you have a single that blows up. People love it so they play it.

They still look pretty happy to me.

There's a number of songs I'm tired of playing. I can't imagine having a song that went over well. I would need a lot of money to keep playing that. I do have my price though. For now at least.

They are so very tiresome

[@shaunrobertson1064]

[@whyyes6428]

This band is a great example of fabricated fame for the sake of a record labels profits. What I mean by that, is that they have very little catalogue and usually rotate the same few handfuls of songs. It's very generic music and they have fairly basic musical talent. There is no improvisation anywhere to be seen in their sets. It's black and white and really boring. It's fortunate they have their looks to sell, because it's not their songs people are buying.

[@TomO-xf8mk]

boo

[@pontusf9427]

I like their songs and it took me a few months of listinig before I looked up anything else about them. I find the songs simple but catchy and funny and they play tight live. It might not be for you but your cynical view of the band is wrong. I've even heard the singer do opera.

[@danopticon]

They’re unabashedly brilliant, actually.

[@stephenchampion8106]

They are not very nice people.
