May have imagined it but seem to remember seeing an old chaise longue up by the Stone Circle…..just a thought. Or could it be a repeat of the Green Door?

Lugging a velvet covered mahogany chaise longue all the way to the pyramid and then they don’t play the song would definitely trump shaky and the green door debacle

I will almost certainly be in possession of a pack of warm beer.

😂 Because of which bit? That they're hot right now, or that they're too green and don't have enough material?

[Spindles]

I think the best they could hope for is something like David Gray when Babylon broke through, he was booked on JP that year but also got a bonus mid-afternoon slot on Pyramid.  They've only just released their debut album, so any slot longer than 45 minutes is pie in the sky.  I think the only band who ever got booked for headline so early in their career were the Arctic Monkeys and they had been big on Myspace (remember that?) for ages so had more than an album's worth of material knocking about.

I would be in favour of a Shangri-la micro venue with a load of chaise longues playing chaise longue all night, like the shrinel Richie did a few years back. Call it the Chez long.

Managed to get in the tent and see them at Latitude last year. Owing to COVID, they must have missed those early formative gigs as no-bodies and  went straight to audiences who knew the words religiously to (at least) one of their songs. I can imagine that to be a bit overwhelming/ surprising.

😂 We need to petition Shangri La to make this happen.

Will Chaise longers become the new chair w*nkers 😂

[ClementsMike]

Decent fun album. I’ll try and catch them this year as they’ll be nowhere next year onwards. Enjoy them while they’re hot.

[Hugh Jass II]

Few listens now and I largely agree with what everyone is saying.

It’s hardly Radiohead (but not everything has to be Radiohead) and it probably won’t trouble the end of year lists but it’s fun and breezy. Definitely a summer album.

With Shane Long DJ-ing.

[sisco]

What sort of position do we think they’ll be getting? Think they’re pretty low at other festivals such as IOW

(yep 5th down after Mae Muller on the 2nd stage)

Early doors JP would be my bet.

And it’ll be rammed.

Thank Christ for that.

One of the predictions had a Park treble of Wet Leg, Yard Act and Confidence Man back to back. I didn’t realise what I needed until then.

100% this - I’d be there. Make it a karaoke venue with a house band and a wheel of fortune. Each person performing spins the wheel to give the band a genre and again for a style on which to sing it. 
Reggae chaise longue sung in the style of Ian Dury please.

I'd like to see/hear Elvana's version.

[Ayrshire Chris]

judging by replies on here and reactions elsewhere to the band wherever stage they play on it will be rammed. Their appeal is wide ranging, even a more open minded veteran glasto goer (sounds better than an old fart) like myself finds it extremely likeable.  Over the next few months pre festival their stock will continue to rise. Park or JP.

"Is your muffin buttered. Would you like us to assign someone to butter your muffin?"

Jesus wept...not sure how some catchy music and a load of innuendos got so many people foaming at the mouth. 

Sorry, but my guess is they are the next over hyped band and a lot of people will cringe later in life at how much they used to like them... 

 

[BreadMakesYouFat?]

I wanted to like the album a little more. The other songs don't come close to Chaise Longue. I'd describe it as Pip Blom meets The Ting Tings. I think if there was a big clash I wouldn't be too heartbroken to miss them.

It’s already cool and alt not to enjoy Wet Leg. You’re part of the same cycle. We all are. 

[fatyeti24]

For balance, I haven't listened to the album, and probably won't.

This is a mean girls reference fyi

[maelzoid]

The hype reminds me of Bis.

No one gives a fuck about them now.

[AlexOvd]

The album is quite decent, but nothing spectacular. I may see them if they don't clash with anyone though.
