Live Review
Wet Leg are rewriting the rule book as they headline London's Electric Ballroom
Twelve months ago, if you'd have asked who **Wet Leg** are, it's likely that 99% of people would have looked back with confused eyes. Tonight, they find themselves filling Electric Ballroom to capacity, already a show that feels almost criminally too small. That's what happens when you capture something bigger than any mere hype act could conceive. With sceptics firmly cast aside and a Number 1 album under their belt, this isn't about a coronation. Instead, it's one of the wildest shows of the year from a band rewriting expectations as they go.

That rapid growth plays perfectly into their live show. While most bands evolve with life on the road, Wet Leg haven't lost any of their unique spirit. That sense of playful fun is there from the first note of 'Being In Love'. An early airing of 'Wet Dream' is sung back word for word by the packed crowd in front of them, while 'Supermarket' and its yodelling hooks have arms in the air, embracing the sort of party atmosphere that puts smiles on faces with a click of the fingers.
