Tuesday night in Nashville can be one of two things: mundane and routine or out-of-this-world and chaotic. On the one hand, you have the predictable crowds of tourists infesting Broadway like roaches under a refrigerator and, on the other, you have an event randomly pop up that blows the minds of true music fans in the Music City. Wet Leg at Marathon Music Works was definitely a mind-blowing experience on a Tuesday night.
Mary In the Junkyard started things off, playing a more mellow set with the type of songs you would put on while studying for an exam. Their sound and style was vastly different than what lay ahead with Wet Leg; an interesting juxtaposition. One highlight was when the bass player put down her bass and played a violin!
Hanna Vu would be the next artist to perform; I have been in love with her song “Hammer” and, much to my surprise, she opened her set with it. After that, I was also left confused as to why she was an opener. She definitely ‘rocked’ harder than the previous band, but it still seemed an interesting match. Vu’s set was entertaining enough but it left me extremely hungry to see Wet Leg’s energy…
