BRITISH pop is currently chock-a-block with smart tongued woman and here are two of the sharpest on TRNSMT’s Main Stage.

Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers of Wet Leg are all sunny disposition under Glasgow’s unexpected sunshine skies.

“Scotland?” Teasdale purrs, “More like Hotland. Amirite?”

It’s no wonder the band is pleased with itself.

After a rainy, driech opening day, the the sun is baking day two of the festival and Wet Leg has been bumped up the bill.

Benefiting from the unfortunate last minute call off from Years and Years, the Isle of Wight band has moved from the King Tuts stage to take a mid-afternoon slot on the Main Stage.

Despite just two mainstream singles, Wet Leg already feels ubiquitous and their Main Stage turn doesn’t feel out of place.

Some fans have gone to the bother of bringing huge lobster claw gloves to wave at the band, in tribute to the video for 2021’s Wet Dream, the opening song of the set.

Glasgow Times:

They segue into Supermarket, a tune about going shopping while heavily under the influence, and do a jaunty rendition of Too Late Now.

Teasdale is a delightful frontwoman but maybe it’s heat induced lethargy or maybe it’s too early in the day but the crowd doesn’t give Wet Leg the attention they deserve.

Glasgow Times:

At times the chatter from the audience all but drowns out Teasdale’s singing.

Sometimes she’s so quietly spoken as to be imperceptible but it hardly matters because we’re there for the music, not the conversation.

Ur Mum finally engages the crowd and the song’s lengthy scream has many joining in and trying to best the band’s efforts.

Glasgow Times:

Teasdale tells us that when she and Chambers were teenagers they often wished an alien would abduct them “to get away from the monotony of the island”.

This leads in – can you guess – to I Wanna Be Abducted (By a UFO), which keeps spirits up.

So does a muttered, “F**k the Tories” from the band, a refrain that’s been repeated by several acts this weekend.

Glasgow Times:

Angelica gives its pulsing drumbeat, which takes over the crowd and whips them towards the moment everyone’s here for – the standout hit Chaise Longue.

It’s a belting end to an enjoyable lark in the afternoon sun.
