Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers first met at the Isle of Wight College. They were friends for 10 years before forming a band in summer 2019 after watching Idles at the End Of The Road festival. "We agreed on the premise of our band there and then: as long as you're having fun, then everything will be alright," Teasdale told NME. "And we've told ourselves that we'll stick to that, always."
Wet Leg named themselves after random emojis. "We were playing a sort of game where we'd make band names out of different emoji combinations," Teasdale told News On The Wight. "Then we got to wet leg and it just kind of stuck."
Teasdale and Chambers assembled a touring band with fellow Isle of Wight musicians and released their debut single "Chaise Longue" after signing with Domino Recording Company (Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand, Hot Chip).
