(Picture: Luc Coiffait )It was late summer in 2018 and Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers had spent the weekend at the End of the Road Festival.
The friends, who had first met as 17-year-olds in the Isle of Wight, were now both in their mid 20s. ‘It was late at night and there was a Ferris wheel at the festival,’ Teasdale recalls. ‘We’d seen it all weekend but never thought to go on it and now all of a sudden we were on it. Our hands were in the air. The wheel was going around. It was very mystical. We were looking into the night sky. It felt like anything was possible.’ It was there and then that the two friends decided to form a band, which they named Wet Leg. Their ambitions were modest: ‘We were both working in our jobs full time and we just wanted to have a way of continuing to do music alongside our jobs,’ says Teasdale, ‘and hopefully in the summer we could get booked for some festivals because festival tickets are quite expensive. We never thought about doing more than that.’
