![]() The character in the song is using his knowledge of cult indie films as currency to pick this girl up. Is that lyric something you said to somebody? Or something that somebody said to you? Number two was, when I heard your lyric, “Baby, you want to come home with me? I’ve got Buffalo ’66 on DVD,” I was like, “ I’ve got Buffalo ’66 on DVD! Wouldn’t it be a great joke to show the girls?” Only to discover that it’s disappeared from my collection. Number one was that I wanted to read out the Wikipedia article titled, “Notable People From the Isle of Wight,” but you’d already done it in a Vogue interview. WRIGHT: I had two clever plans for this interview, and both of them have failed miserably. TEASDALE: I’ve heard good things about it, but I can’t really remember it anymore. I’m in our native time zone, you should get back over here. WRIGHT: Hey listen, you are the ones in the wrong time zone. I feel bad because it’s not fair to make any rock ‘n’ roll band do an interview at 10:00am. I didn’t know that you were in San Diego.

The band released “Chaise Longue,” a witty, infectious debut single in June of 2021, and found themselves practically airlifted off of their native island and dropped onto the international touring circuit almost overnight. ![]() The rock duo, comprised of Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers, met during their school days on Britain’s Isle of Wight-an island town known for its beaches and Blackgang Chine, a dilapidated, campy amusement park populated by giant dinosaurs, cowboys, and an excess of unsettling nursery rhyme characters. Few bands embody the onstage/offstage dichotomy quite like Wet Leg. ![]()
