Wet Leg Gets the Joke

Sometimes even the most talked about indie rock acts need to decompress. Take, for instance, the British duo Wet LegRhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers—currently on the second leg of a tour in America.

Me and Hester did yoga the other day, Teasdale tells Newsweek, laughing. The bus expands on the front lounge, so there's enough room to do like a YouTube yoga session diagonally.

In a span of less than a year, the duo from the Isle of Wight have generated tremendous buzz from their singles-most notably the extremely catchy disco/punk/New Wave number “Chaise Longue,” which has garnered over 11 million streams so far on Spotify. The attention brought Wet Leg widespread press coverage, sold-out shows, and American TV appearances on Late Night With Seth Meyers and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Yet on a recent day after Wet Leg's performance before a packed crowd at New York City's Brooklyn Steel, Teasdale and Chambers seem nonplussed about the attention “We're so busy, Teasdale says. “Our calendar is so full. You just kind of have to take it day by day. It's pretty fun, just having a really nice time with our friends.

It's estimated that by 2050, one in four people in the APAC region will be over 60 years old-with the population of older persons approaching 1.3 billion, according to the Asian Development Bank Institute. With that comes a greater need for the best medical treatment, including cutting-edge technology and top-quality care plans.
