After their Grammy wins, Wet Leg failed to win Best Rock / Alternative at the Brits – losing out to the less alternative The 1975 – but scooped the even bigger prize, Group of the Year.
Considering their LA gongs, Wet Leg had to be recognised at the Brits. Which began with a lavish performance of ‘Chaise Longue’.
The band accepted the award in true Wet Leg style, confusing many on Twitter, accusing them of being more than high on life.
That’s okay, not everyone is meant to get it. And if it was two inebriated blokes getting the award – Oasis for example – no one would care if they’d had a few sherbs. But the truth is, this was just Wet Leg being themselves. Rounding off their acceptance speech with “Fuck the Tories!” Wet Leg made the most rock n roll statement of the night.
We were fortunate enough to catch Wet Leg at the Nottingham Rock City last year. The gig was sold out and after their recent accolades, and with a few more tunes under their belts, intimate venues are surely/sadly a thing of the past. Well done Wet Leg, you rock.
