Wet Leg Frontwoman Rhian Teasdale Shares Candid Insights on Rise to Fame

In a candid interview with Bandsplain host Yasi Salek, Wet Leg frontwoman Rhian Teasdale reflects on the band's meteoric rise to fame. Just over a year ago, Wet Leg's debut album propelled them to overnight success, a trajectory Teasdale compares to Alanis Morissette's rapid ascent.

Teasdale credits her previous experience working "a lot of shitty jobs" as giving her the perspective to handle the overwhelming changes in her life. She notes that having this background makes it easier to manage the demands of touring and performing, even on her "fifth gig in a row." Teasdale also shares the original concept for the 'Moisturizer' album cover, providing a glimpse into the creative process behind the band's distinctive visual identity.

Despite the whirlwind of their newfound fame, Teasdale remains grounded. She candidly discusses the challenges of maintaining a healthy diet and protein intake while on the road, acknowledging the "crazy" focus it can require. Teasdale's openness and relatable experiences offer a refreshing counterpoint to the band's rapid rise, humanizing their journey to the top.
