You have to wipe down the inside first, ’cause it gets quite warm and sweaty in there.”Teasdale added: “It was so disgusting – so disgusting!”Later, Chambers recalled how touring Wet Leg member Josh Omead Mobaraki “accidentally” came up with a part for the group’s hit single ‘Chaise Lounge’ by tinkering on his pocket piano.Henry Holmes, who plays drums for the duo, remembered being “fucking mind blown” by Wet Leg before he joined their live line-up.
