Wet Leg

[the wonderwhy]

That said I have been enjoying the 'You're so woke/Diet coke' line pissing everyone off this morning so... 

[Ayrshire Chris]

JP surely, and will be very busy I reckon. 

[the wonderwhy]

They're difficult to place. I can see them being early doors Other or John Peel. 

Reckon they'll do more than one set anyway.

Listening to it on the train to work, sun shining, very very 2003 second year of uni vibes for me. Want a £1.70 union pint and I want it right now.

[LinvoyPrimus]

Really enjoyed that. Very fucking fun, easy, breezy album. Excited to see what comes next.

If there's a misstep it's 'Oh No' – never got it as a single, feel like the album would be all-killer-no-filler without it.

Enjoyed them live when I saw Idles at Brixton, and 100% seeking them out on the farm.

[kalifire]

Thought the album was pretty good, I suppose. Bright and breezy, inoffensive quirkiness.

[FloorFiller]

Definite JP imo. Every year there’s at least a one act there that absolute rams the place out with tons of people watching from outside and I think it’ll be them this year.

[Superunknown]

Presumably intentional but the riff on I Don’t Wanna Go Out is just The Man Who Sold the World isn’t it?

I mean, it's no Voice Of The Beehive.

[jimmillen]

Decent fun album that, no it’s not some earth shatteringly brilliant masterpiece, but then not everything can be, can it. 🙂 

Will definitely be giving it a few more listens and bodes well for a good show at the festival IMO.

Hahaha I fucking loved VOTB so much as a 17 year old. That album still gets a spin at Mardy Mansions. Will dig it out in a bit. Nice one.

Clocked that also on a first listen. Sailing very close to the wind with that one. 
 

Album is pretty light and fun on a first listen, but nothing particularly ground breaking.

I just came here to post the exact same thing!

Excellent isn't it? I still revisit it from time to time. I saw them at Reading in 1989 on a day you'd have loved.

That was my first ever festival! But I only went on the Saturday on a day ticket. Still blew my tiny parochial small-town mind. Changed me forever. Suddenly it's not just you and your 3 mates who like this stuff, There are others!

[Jay Pee]

Great line up that Reading 89.

Wet Leg wise.  I quite like it.  Given it two runs through this morning.   Hope to see them in a field in the summer (somewhere)

£1.70 in 2003! That seems like a lot, its only about £2.50 now (and thats in Reading which is near enough london prices elsewhere!!)

Had a first listen through. If you forget the hype, it’s a decent effort for a debut. 
 

Really made me feel like I was 20 again in 2006, especially Wet Dream, which has CSS/New Young Pony Club/Le Tigre vibes.

 

Aside from a couple of absolute filler tracks it’s a decent 6/10. Will give it a few more listens though

I couldn't remember exactly what it was, but I have a memory now of a bottle of newky brown costing £1.80 in Snobs back then, so the wolvo union probably was even cheaper. I remember taking my scouse mate to the Dubliner and him remarking how expensive £2.50 was for a carlsberg.

Yes, agree with that. Gave them a listen this morning and you can imagine the JP rammed and jumping when they play. Quirky and hypnotic, high energy and a wide appeal.

That Friday is insane!

I didn't get there until Saturday 😄

The only one I was bothered about missing was Gaye Bikers on Acid to be fair.

After watching Gaye Bykers and Spacemen 3 my group binned the rest of the Friday off to go and see Dawn After Dark play Opera on the Green in Shepherd's Bush and then came back to the site ready for the Saturday and Sunday.

Convincing is bloody great. Such a nice change of pace and good to see/hear Hester take the lead.

Does the Co-op sell muffins? Sizeable  opportunity to bring some unbuttered muffins to the front row to answer the main questions of the day.
