Wet Leg, adorably, have no idea what the Grammys are

Rhian Teasdale doesn’t take long to answer when asked to identify her last truly brutal hangover. “Oh, it was quite recent — and it wasn’t even on tour,” says the lead singer and rhythm guitarist of the English indie-rock duo Wet Leg. “And so the reason we got so drunk is because we were trying to get rid of the evidence.” “I don’t think we ever expected to have so many people following us,” says Wet Leg’s Teasdale. “When we started our Instagram account, we were like, ‘Cool, we’ve got 500 followers.’” The story — which includes Teasdale’s wee-hours realization that she’d made plans to drive to Bristol the next morning to meet a baby nephew for the first time — has the makings of a great Wet Leg song, a dozen of which fill the group’s witty and self-deprecating debut album. Says Teasdale: “We were basically just trying to fill our set.” Despite those scrappy origins, Wet Leg has quickly made some very famous fans, including Barack Obama, who put the duo’s song “Angelica” on his latest public playlist, and Harry Styles, who invited Wet Leg to open for him next year in Australia.
