Live session by Wet Leg recorded at the KEXP radio studios in Seattle on 9 September 2025. Breaking through in 2021 from the Isle of Wight, the British band led by Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers has become one of the freshest voices in contemporary indie rock, mixing sharp guitars, deadpan humour and post-punk energy. This studio-filmed set brings the full quintet together for four songs, including catch these fists and davina mccall from their recent repertoire. The KEXP format, renowned for its audio and video quality, showcases the band’s rhythmic precision and melodic freshness in an intimate setting. This live session reflects the stagecraft Wet Leg has gained since their critically acclaimed debut album. For fans of indie rock and the new British scene, this filmed live session offers a faithful, up-to-date look at a rising band, captured by one of the most respected radio institutions in the United States.
