1- If extro… Read Full Bio ↴THERE IS MORE THAN ONE BAND/ARTIST WITH THE NAME "LEGS":
1- If extroversion had a musical embodiment, it would be in the sounds and rhythms of Brooklyn newcomers LEGS. Blending modern indie pop with Stax-worthy hooks, they are a mobile cauldron of everything retro and cosmopolitan. LEGS was formed in 2013 by Seattle-based Tito Ramsey, his brother Jack, their childhood friend Charles Larson, and Ecuadorian brothers Juan Miguel and Herman Marin.
Their self-titled EP attracted early press when their single “So Obvious” was featured in the 2014 film Obvious Child, starring Jenny Slate and David Cross. Pitchfork ranked the Obvious Child soundtrack as one of the top six of the summer.
Produced by Nick Stumpf (Caveman, Coke Weed) and tracked in Quito, Ecuador, their debut album, Altitud (self-released on April 2015), represents a cohesive statement of collective musical vision developed over two years of touring and recording. At moments, the songs veer into asymmetrical art-rock, with rises and falls that nod to Stop Making Sense. At others, they swing unapologetically into the great tradition of disco, with tishy hi-hats and soaring synth pads.
Wear your dancing shoes.
LEGS is 100% guaranteed to make you feel athletic, kinetic, sexy, benevolent, cosmopolitan, declamator, exotic, extroverted, hungry, naive, nocturnal, and possibly wry.
Past shows have brought them to Quito, Cuenca, Guayaquil and Portoviejo (Ecuador), BRIC Arts Media in Brooklyn, The Wassaic Project in Upstate NY, Doe Bay Festival in the San Juan Islands, CMJ in New York, Timbrrr Winter Music Festival in Washington State, and the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art in the Berkshires. During Fall of 2015 LEGS toured the Pacific North West, with stops in Tacoma, Seattle, Indianola, Yakima, and Olympia. The summer of 2016 was occupied by a week-long tour in Ecuador. And in November 2016, LEGS performed at El Descanso (Outdoor Music Festival), in Cuenca.
LEGS has shared the stage with acts such as Los Amigos Invisibles, Midnight Magic, Rubblebucket, Leisure Cruise, Cody Chesnutt, Erica Esso, Sisters, La Máquina Camaleón, Superhuman Happiness, amongst many other.

2- The duo of Jeffrey Harland and Matt Bullimore formed Oakland based noise pop group Legs in 2011.
The two had been friends for a long time and had played in bands before deciding to join forces and begin recording. Inspired by the noisy pop found on labels like mid-80's Creation and Flying Nun (Bullimore was born in New Zealand and grew up as a fan of the label), Harland and Bullimore spent a year as a duo recording project only as Matt learned to play drums and they honed their sound. Slowly they began to add members to the band - the first Ameilia Adams on vocals, then Kevin Walker and Spencer Hicks -- as they painstakingly worked on recording an album. After hooking up with San Francisco label Loglady and finishing up some songs, the band released Pass the Ringo in the spring of 2013 ~ Tim Sendra Rovi
3 - A side project featuring three of the 5 members of the Charleston emo band Newgrounds Death Rugby. The project combines the classic hard-hitting lyricism of NGDR with a shoegaze sound.

Legs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I finally made it,
Been taking it slow
But now we're racing
We're getting old
This life is wasting,
What really happens to our time
You hit em when you're right,
I miss em most when I'm alone
Get a body down on contemplation
There's too much to know
Wanna be a brave man,
Said I wanna be a brave brave man
Got to be so oh, got to be so
Sick of them all
Those pretty faces,
I'm fit to withdraw my invitation
If giving his all
Means that he's faking,
I'm saying goodbye
You're turning on the phone,
Messing with the lights
Talking to the stairs now,
Walking down flight by flight
Messing with my mind
These names and places,
There's too much to know
Too much to know, to much to know
Wanna be a brave man,
Said I wanna be a brave brave man
Got to be so oh, got to be so
In the song Jungle, Legs sings about the struggles of life and the constant battle to keep up with the fast-paced world. He begins by stating that he has finally made it after taking things slowly, and now they are racing against time. He realizes that life is short and time is precious. He then reflects on the ups and downs of life by saying that one hits the right notes at times and misses them at times, and the misses hurt the most when alone.
Legs then talks about his desire to be brave and the frustration he feels towards the people around him. He is tired of the pretty faces and wants to withdraw his invitation to them. He believes that if someone has to pretend to be someone they are not, it is better to say goodbye. The artist then talks about the chaos he feels around him. The phone rings, lights flicker, and he talks to the stairs as he walks down one flight after another, all while his mind is overloaded with the names and places he has to remember.
Through this song, Legs talks about the pressure to keep up with the world, the complexities of life, and the desire to be brave. The artist perfectly captures this feeling with the help of soulful music and meaningful lyrics.
Line by Line Meaning
Just letting you know
I want to inform you
I finally made it,
I have finally achieved success
Been taking it slow
I have been working at a relaxed pace
But now we're racing
But now things are speeding up
We're getting old
Time is passing and we are aging
This life is wasting,
Our time on earth is being squandered
What really happens to our time
What is the true nature of time?
You hit em when you're right,
You succeed when you make correct decisions
You miss em when you're wrong
You fail when you make incorrect decisions
I miss em most when I'm alone
I feel the impact of my failures most when I am by myself
Get a body down on contemplation
Take time to reflect and ponder
There's too much to know
There is an overwhelming amount of information out there
Wanna be a brave man,
I desire to be courageous
Said I wanna be a brave brave man
I really want to be brave
Got to be so oh, got to be so
I must become courageous
Sick of them all
I am tired of everyone
Those pretty faces,
Attractive people
I'm fit to withdraw my invitation
I want to disinvite them
If giving his all
If he is trying his hardest
Means that he's faking,
But it turns out he is not being genuine
I'm saying goodbye
I am ending our relationship
You're turning on the phone,
You are powering on the phone
Messing with the lights
Adjusting the light switches
Talking to the stairs now,
Addressing the stairs as if they are alive
Walking down flight by flight
Walking down each step of the staircase
Messing with my mind
Confusing or tricking me
These names and places,
These various people and locations
There's too much to know
There is an overwhelming amount of information out there
Wanna be a brave man,
I desire to be courageous
Said I wanna be a brave brave man
I really want to be brave
Got to be so oh, got to be so
I must become courageous
