Best band to come along in ages! I really admire their songwriting and Rhian's voice is an instrument. I wish them continued success - they deserve it!
fender is killing it, such a good strategy in using lesser known bands to showcase their more affordable model lines...deff adding that first song to my playlist
i think the strategy is even simpler than that. Wet Leg has a massive trajectory and everyone in the band (aside from Henry on drums lol) has been playing Fender all along anyway...
I'm 62 years of age and I must admit, I haven't long discovered Wet Leg.. Because I listen to a lot of classical music, I don't really know that many bands of 2022... But if you listen to the lyrics, you could almost imagine that Syd Barrett from Pink Floyd wrote them.... Absolutely brilliant and I wish the band success that they so rightly deserve...
Their music seems really well thought out. There’s energy but it isn’t like a spilling over kind of thing, feels contained and compressed in a good way and I like that.
The first time I heard this band last year I immediately thought Fender needed to enlist them. They're gonna turn so many young music fans into guitarists.
Don't care what they play or who supports them as long as they keep doing what they do! Love this band, they're a breath of fresh air compared to alot of the samey indie stuff out there. Glasto was epic!!
Absolutely love your music, the sound and the lyrics are so unique. I was a little disappointed to hear the lyrical change in order to get on the Radio 1 play list. I get you need the exposure a massive station like that gives you but please stay true to who you are and what you (so brilliantly) do 🙏❤
Yeah pretty much everything felt sort of muddy and washed out except for random stabs of keys or guitars that would jump out of the mix in an unnatural way. No hate though, it was still a killer performance and I love this band!
This was well done - great sound quality. They looked pretty relaxed here, and that's great to see. It's been wild ride watching them since summer 2021. They are a fun, quirky band - I don't have massive expectations from them - I just enjoy watching and listening, and laughing at their antics. After all, it's only rock and roll, but I like it. 😊
wet leg is such a good band. it’s so sick seeing these lesser known musicians i’ve been listening to get more recognition from fender, like king princess did a while back. wet leg’s amazing
This is great, but specifically which guitars are being used? And also… not sure how I feel about the addition of a player ‘plus’, are we gonna get a player ‘max’ next year?
Hello Fender, Please make AVRI series again. Nitro finished guitars built close as possible to vintage spec. People will buy them. Not interested in acoustasonic or whatever. Thank you, CB
Dunno why but this feels similar to a female driven Frans Ferdinand band and that's not a bad thing at all. I know comparisons don't always compute but this seemed justly so.
In this scenario do you think Fender made them play these guitars at gunpoint? I’m fairly sure they did this promotion willingly, and were no doubt compensated (probably the same way they were compensated for playing Noventa’s). It’s all good, they sound good and seem to be enjoying performing.
Yeah they're blowing up the alt scene for sure which seems to be kind of the new genre which is this sort of soft p*** sung by young adults or older teens... Even the name is suggestive obviously
Until fairly recently Rhian was working as a wardrobe assistant and for many of their gigs Rhian and Hester dress up in silly outfits. That's very much down to them. It looks like from very early on Fender were providing their equipment and WL don't have a problem with that. People have expectations of how Wet Leg 'should be'. They reserve the right to play any style of music they feel like. Meanwhile the band have always said they don't want Wet Leg to be taken seriously and they aim to only carry on as long as its still fun. When asked about longevity Rhian didn't think it would last and Hester has said she expects it all to crash and burn as "that's what always happens".... ( ? )
@@snicker576 Rhian's last job (before the pandemic) was as a wardrobe assistant on music videos and advertisements. She and Hester have always dressed up for Wet Leg gig's. Anything from cheerleader outfits, to cowboy hats and boots, to Midsommar dresses - you name it. They both pledged that the band was not going to be serious and gave it a silly name so that they would never make the mistake of taking what they were doing seriously. Have you seen this silly 'mocumentary' they made? ua-cam.com/video/swiaqiSLRc0/v-deo.html
I’m a 316-year-old Baroque DJ and I love this band! I hope I survive the plague so I can maybe go see them one day!
ahahahah
Update: I didn’t survive 😵
There was a good chance of your parents liking me. But I got too di-e-i-e-i-e-i-e-ied.
the sound engineer guy deserves a permanent happiness and immortality
I’m a 48 year old metal head and I love this band. Good on you Fender for supporting them and also for not censoring these songs.
No one asked
I asked

Statement of age. Unrelated anecdote of random event. Admiration of band.
Er okay: ......69+. Just hung the out the washing. Great band. Is there a prize?

Wet leg is so cool! When I first heard them I instantly loved them.
Same!
Cool factor of Wet Leg is off the charts!
The funnest/coolest band in the last year!

That MK1 Golf though 😍 Wet Leg also sounded superb.
I'm jimi hendrix's great grandmother and wet leg is my favorite band, more fuzz face please.
I wish the vocals were pulled up a smidgen more but thanks for supporting them.
Agreed! The mix seemed a little off
Yeah pretty much everything felt sort of muddy and washed out except for random stabs of keys or guitars that would jump out of the mix in an unnatural way. No hate though, it was still a killer performance and I love this band!
Awesome production, big none existent shout out to the production crew, yay :)
I'm so happy to find this jem, Wet Leg are just brilliant and on fire this summer 🦞🦞🦞🦞
Absolutely brilliant, what a fantastic band! 😎🇬🇧

The just played a killer set at Glasto, so after that anything is relaxed . :)
wet leg is such a good band. it’s so sick seeing these lesser known musicians i’ve been listening to get more recognition from fender, like king princess did a while back. wet leg’s amazing
The inbetween song visuals on this video are crazy! 💯
Hester and Rhian keep picking fenders I want. I really like the Nuventos and, those are the exact Player Plus’s I like😀
Screams and puffy shoulders. What is not to love!
Cool vibes on this one. Kudos. You found a fun style to produce
I love this band. Definitely gonna blow up in the next few months.
fresh! I love their music. Thank you fender for discovering such unique music for us!
They deserve a Grammy man.
Cool stuff from a new amazing band .... my very best wishes to you wet leg X
Can’t wait to see them live!
I love love love this band
Good things happening in music nowadays y’all
So Kool! Big fan of this band.
It’s gonna be a long time before any band comes even close to what Wet Leg have done!
And just think, they’re just getting started.
That first song sounds like something off the GTA4 radio broker station.
Subtitles: "I was in yo .... Nope. No, not gonna."
"play it, or else....." LOL
This rocks!
“This band rules!!!”
-Pizza Rat
I like that!
I can hear this being played in a teen comedy as students walk the hallways. 😆😂
Wow, awesome video and great music!!
Love this
fender, keep it going plz!
Ha! thought there were a lot of Fenders in Wet Leg, it worked, I got one after seeing them
Sounds alright
Watch and learn, Gibson. Watch and learn...
This is great, but specifically which guitars are being used? And also… not sure how I feel about the addition of a player ‘plus’, are we gonna get a player ‘max’ next year?
🖤🤗❤️... always.
thank you , damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Wow fender X wetLeg!

Stop comparing bands to other bands please. So boring and irrelevant to do that
Honestly thought they were American! Wow
lol Henry is literally the only member who doesn't play Fender.

This is a new low for fender, I’m not even a boomer but I even I can recognise shit
Just now 🤣🤣

I love this band and they killed the performance, but I was not feeling this live mix at all.
needs more cowbell
Da ß lo
Sounds off with the Player Plus. They’ve been playing Fender Noventa anyway, just let them play what they usually play with.
In this scenario do you think Fender made them play these guitars at gunpoint? I’m fairly sure they did this promotion willingly, and were no doubt compensated (probably the same way they were compensated for playing Noventa’s). It’s all good, they sound good and seem to be enjoying performing.
@@marcjansing7339 well fender is an American company, so “at gun point” is always a possibility.
@@thecappy ouch
Not sure about the hat
Hallmark guitars are cooler! They would look and sound much better with a Mosrite style guitar
The captioning is really terrible

Sell out fast and cash in as much as you can girls
how are they sellouts? it's called marketing. considering how the music biz works today this is all part and parcel of music marketing.
@@ragnadrabinowitz7629 cope
How can a group of entertainers 'sell out'? Did they make you a solemn promise which they have since gone back on?
playing lovely Fender guitars is selling out?
@@jukeboxjohnnie what model of guitar is this?
Rock is dead
Tik Tok band.
But so... not.
The costumes look so ridiculous, it's insane how fast they've gone from "indie band from small island" to "pimped out product doing ads for Fender"
Until fairly recently Rhian was working as a wardrobe assistant and for many of their gigs Rhian and Hester dress up in silly outfits. That's very much down to them. It looks like from very early on Fender were providing their equipment and WL don't have a problem with that.

@@jeremymanson1781 Thanks for the explanation, if they're the ones pushing the silly outfits let them enjoy them for sure

Ummm, maybe favor groups with better lyrics, much less org crime complicit would be super.
What?
Thanks Fender but hard pass on this one…
