Goldenvoice has announced its annual lineup of Coachella sideshows, “Goldenvoice Presents April,” that have festival artists performing at various more intimate venues throughout Southern California in the days surrounding both weekends. Wet Leg is set to perform at the Fox Theater in Pomona on Wednesday, April 15th.
Wet Leg, the Isle of Wight five-piece founded by Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers, have their local SoCal show in anticipation of their Coachella performance.
Touring with Ellis Durand (bass), Henry Holmes (drums), and Joshua Mobaraki(guitar, synth), Wet Leg developed into a taut, caustic live operation that made good on their debut’s success: No. 1 chart placements at home and abroad, three GRAMMYs, two BRIT Awards and over half a billion streams. If success presents a fork in the road for any new band – to “go pop” or keep following your muse – Wet Leg emphatically chose the latter path – including working with Dan Carey again as their producer. In March 2024, the band decamped to the remote seaside town of Southwold in Norfolk, England, to write; living together, working all day, watching horror movies all night, they soon locked into a new sense of symbiosis.
All five members of Wet Leg have writing credits on moisturizer – “We were just kind of having fun and exploring,” says Hester Chambers. “We focussed on: Is this going to be fun to play live? It was very natural that we would write the second record together” adds Rhian Teasdale.
Although Teasdale previously felt allergic to writing love songs, moisturizer is defined by its sheer exuberance and Teasdale ended up finding the process empowering. That new sense of ownership extends to moisturizer’s album art, an instant-classic freak-fest in which Chambers and Teasdale bare long, ghoulish claws; Teasdale, sporting long, kitschy socks and sans eyebrows, grins fiendishly into the camera. It reflects the album, moisturizer is the band turning the dial up and delivering a record that is unapologetically bolder, stronger and raunchier.
