History

Teasdale and Chambers first met at Isle of Wight College.[3][4] After ten years of friendship, they became a musical duo in 2019 under the name Wet Leg, and signed with Domino Recording Company.[5][1]

They have released four singles. Their debut single, "Chaise Longue", was released on 15 June 2021,[6] and gained media notice for earning millions of streams and video views.[7] Their second single, "Wet Dream", was released on 28 September 2021. Variety noted, "It's rare that a new group releases two songs and they're both great". The band has scheduled a US tour to begin in December 2021.[7] They appeared on Later... with Jools Holland on BBC2, on 30 October 2021.[8] On 29 November 2021, they announced their debut self-titled album, scheduled for release on 8 April 2022 via Domino. The same day, Wet Leg released the double-single "Too Late Now" / "Oh No".[9]
