Wet Leg, an Isle of Wight band that is quickly rising to fame, have released a brand new video for their single ‘Oh No’ – and it was filmed at Alum Bay!
The duo of Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers only released their debut single, ‘Chaise Longue’, in June 2021 but have quickly gone from strength to strength. Collectively the 4 songs they have shared with the world (‘Wet Dream’, ‘Too Late Now’ and ‘Oh No’ followed ‘Chaise Longue’) have clocked up over 20million streams and 4.5million views on YouTube.
Like the videos for ‘Chaise Longue’ and ‘Wet Dream’, the video for ‘Oh No’, which was filmed at Alum Bay in the West Wight, was self-directed.
Speaking about the video, Rhian has said:
“It’s been a pretty wild ride for us these past few months, we never really thought much past actually making music and playing gigs.
“It’s quite an odd thing to suddenly open yourself to so much criticism and praise alike. The comments that complete strangers will leave on our videos are so funny and range wildly in sentiment. Although we know it is bad for us to read them and we try to avoid it, sometimes it’s irresistible when you’re on your own; the 3am doom scroll really gets you.
“For this video, we have obsessively selected our favourite bits from the comments sections across our socials – the good, the bad, the ugly – and have repurposed them to make something new. It has been quite cathartic actually.”
Alongside the new video, Wet Leg have announced a run of instore gigs at UK record shops including London, Bristol, Nottingham and Birmingham around the release of their debut album Wet Leg (due 8th April). These in-store shows are on sale now from individual record stores.
Also, their forthcoming Koko show in London has had to be upgraded again – the band will now play Camden’s Electric Ballroom on 26th April.
Confirmed UK instore gigs are as follows;
Thursday 7th April Banquet @ PRYZM, Kingston Tickets
Friday 8th April Rough Trade East, London Tickets
Saturday 9th April Resident, Brighton Tickets
Sunday 10th April Rough Trade, Bristol Tickets
Monday 11th April Rough Trade, Nottingham Tickets
Tuesday 12th April HMV, Birmingham Tickets
