you are missing out on a shit ton of awesome bands. i love Wet Leg and Nirvana too but come on. feel free to check my DJ playlist by clicking on my name
Wow. Terrific video of a terrific concert by a terrific band. These kids are all right. If their parents loved the Kinks and the Who like I do, they are proud and happy.
It’s one thing to burst onto the scene with some catchy tunes and music videos… it’s another thing to be so good live onstage. It’s hard to believe their writing, look and sound wasn't honed over a few albums. In a performance full of surprises, a big one is "Obvious". Fun, fearless and fully formed right out of the gate, I hope their future work isn't altered by big budgets and bigger expectations.
They've got that elusive talent of writing seemingly effortlessly super catchy tunes. They're great. Makes me think of The Strokes' debut album. One killer song after another.
I believe they recorded the first album way before they became popular and started forming a full band. Next album will probably have a lot more energy from all the bandmembers!
Band : Blowing heads off shoulders with their sound. Audience : sorry… we have been inside for 2 years. Ester is cool as 🤬 Drummer is the first I’ve heard that plays similarly Keys and guitar… you are the flavor baby. Lead… gettem girl. Thank you guys for pushing on. I finally picked up my instruments again. Thanks for the insperation. 🕊
@@user-gk3kv4fl2m And yet Led Zeppelin did the same thing and people lost their shit because Bonham hit the drums harder than Ringo did. Not everything has to be original, almost nothing is anyway. Time to piss up a rope, "friend".
ABSOLUTELY! Part of me wants them to re-record the studio album for that reason. (Not happening, I know, and that'd be sort of odd anyway.) I just want the world to hear them like this (live, in the groove, super-tight).
I appreciate the truth in the lead singer’s voice, the rest of the band joins in oaccordingly and sympatheticly, I love the feeling and fun nature the band have, very festival vibes like Florence n the machine, you can listen to them all day long ❤ very hip 😎
@@miked4309 unfortunately must disagree. Many bands i love who started out strong, recording & live, lost much over the years & can not bring the energy they once had or have enough heart to even seen to care as much. Still hold all they once did & try not to let to affect good memories.
@@miked4309 some bands sound like sh*t live, some bands are meant to be recorded live... Pearl Jam is one, except for Ten I hate almost all their recordings, but live they sound as they should, Live on Two Legs is how all of their songs should sound like.
Oh c'mon, now we know cuz your whole face is lying. Did you know that some of us here are living the eternal life dream? We've aLways been here, and death has no power over our continuity of consciousness continuum. I was called to witness for wet Leg when their father, whom y'all know as "God" gave them each one, their weight in schmaltz, preserved and protected by another band of young brothers you may have heard of...no, not young in age, the brother's name was young, now they're old, crotchety, and probably at a wet Leg concert right now... But if I can give you a gift of gifts,, and hug of hugs, yeah talking about them crazy boys from New Hope Pennsylvania.... Gene & Dean Ween. There's simply too much to tell about their journey from extremely shameless beginnings, to the trainwreck of the last 8 years, culminating in Deaner's message to all Ween fans that he didn't' feel he could muster up enough show for the dough that people were putting down to go see them. Respect that kind of integrity and authenticity, disappointed because the boognish will not be rising from the mist no more...
Ha! They got better!! How was that possible? It's all tighter, better equipment, nice sound variations and closer harmonies .... and the keyboard man is back too so it's all great if not even better! 👍 ☺
3 guitars.... 4 if you include bass. Can't go wrong. Of course a great tight tasty drummer helps and they got that. Add pretty girls with quirky unique sound and style. Great recipe. They are going far if they keep this up.
Finally good sound and lights! You deserve the best! About time we got some stoner\grunge band on the charts again. Yeah i know its called indie now. Keep Rocking :)
Strange how the 1980's new wave is back....Lead singer reminds me of a female David Byrne. It seems so easy for them to sing....almost taking and playing with the words as if it's very natural. This band must be attracting a lot of older folk. I'm 55. ;)
@@EuanGabbutt not comparing was making the point the unique sound and talent and tunes are not going away any time soon…much like nirvana or any great with creative originality
Always great to see a band that can pull it off live. And do they ever. Like Beatles quality at the height of their best live performances. Just flawless and make it look easy.
First time I’ve heard them, great sound. Takes me back 30 yrs, not quite pixies yet but not a million miles away. Got a bit of boomtown rats vibe too, but it may just be the Celtic accents.
@@roguealien423 I thought they were from isles of Mann, my bad.

Best guess at lyrics "Obvious" I'm old, I'm young I burned my tongue But isn't that obvious It's all so obvious
We try to try You're out of time But isn't that obvious It's all so obvious

This is my favorite fucking band this year. I was a sound guy before I broke my neck at work. Fucking favorite band in Canada (obtw, maybe I can still do a proper job.) Don't be stranded, if Lockerbies have anything to say today?
I am Irish and Scottish. I am made of bagpipe melodies. I gotta reach into this. Maybe Ireland kicked Scotland in the gonch. I hope we can still help each other after the schoolyard. That's all I can say right now.
I'm discovering this band yesterday night. I adore it❤. A great band.

mine is the last supper
I was born in the reign of Elizabeth I and normally prefer madrigals, but I like this as well.
The epitome of - we may not be good, but were great.. Simple, interesting, unique, expressive, honest, refreshing. Nothing sounds like it. Kudos
I'm 60 and this is the only band since Nirvana that I dig. Keep it Wet!
Are you my lost twin? 😀 60 here too and the last rock band that got me excited was also Nirvana.
I'm only ("only") 50 and I feel the same way!
Ditto. 60 as well. Band is soooo good. I was in a garage band back in the day... We called ourselves The Dead Bugz, LOL. Good times.

Definitely the best video of them on TH-cam and I've watched them all, really a classic video, might not ever be a better one, I hope I'm wrong.😎🙏
Such a throwback to days when it was all about the song and with serious attitude and expression! This band is fantastic!
Possibly the worst band name I've ever heard though
@@sratus worse than Butthole Surfers
Without serious attitude and expression you wouldn't have had the genius of Siouxsie and the Banshees 🤘🤘

They've got that elusive talent of writing seemingly effortlessly super catchy tunes. They're great. Makes me think of The Strokes' debut album. One killer song after another.
Their live act has a f**k load of energy the recorded track doesn't have. LOVE it.
I believe they recorded the first album way before they became popular and started forming a full band. Next album will probably have a lot more energy from all the bandmembers!
I just discovered them 3 days ago and listen to them ALOT.
Je pense de les voir a St Malo was mighty grand.
J'etais pas loin de la , dommage
I’m a Sumerian from 4,000 BC. You might not believe this, but down in Sumer the band is a real big hit with the kids and 60 year old men.
the music is pop, it's catchy and quirky but the lyrics are edgy, bold and honest.
that's a mix that people really like
This is definitely their best live set
Essence of the 90s indie bands runs deep and it's great.
Best rock band in 30 years
Some of their songs remind me of Elastica 👍😀 Rhian has an incredible voice ❤️ it.

Love it! The whole band has an optimism and tasty licks. Sense of humor! 😍
Always making me smile and forgetting the ill's of this world... I LOVE YOU WET LEG!
Hesta's voice is very unique and truly original. It is on the same level as Rianes . I would say you couldn't get better 🤫
I love their attempts to talk French. :)
This is why the Isle of White was there waiting for these beauties to emerge... ♥️
she is the most talented person to come out of this country in the past 20 yrs
There alright this band, great catchy tunes , I'm a soap sud of the Soap Girls , another great band too
We finally have a decent quality version of Obvious with this video and I’m LIVING FOR IT
This is a great video of them live! I think Obvious (11:31) might be my new favourite Wet Leg song. So beautiful!
I didn't know it and from the first seconds I thought they're doing a Mardy Bum cover
It shows off Rhian's vocal range I think.
This band is pretty good 👍
Me ,a great fan too you guys make me happy to be alive .I'm 61
Such a breath of fresh air, refreshing fun and bad ass. Need more of this in new music.
Bring iit on!
cant wait to you live again.
Your a breath fresh air.
Im been missing your energy for so long
Big hugs to all
Merci for posting!! Brilliant band !
They bring a breath of fresh air to the contemporary rock scene!
Well done for posting the full version with "Obvious" included.
Yeah Obvious is a great song and a great slow diwn in the middle of their set.

No, a lot of people today have great teeth! Nothing to do with work; they just have the luck - and maybe good dentistry from young. I am so envious!
I’m convinced that wet leg is all of fae descent
Very clever lyrics I am another dad fan the only thing it puts the younger ones off as I can remember many years ago
