Thirteen Senses & Stateless @ ULU
Stateless have the kind of singer who makes you want to throw yourself at his feet and beg him to never, under any circumstances, leave the stage. He is that good. And the rest of the band, it can safely be said, add to this amazing sound. Combining bass, drums, occasional guitar and record scratching, they combine funk rhythms with indie emotions to come up with a sound which is unique in British bands.
There was a lot of love in the room for headliners Thirteen Senses. Really. A lot. But somehow it felt I should be sat in an armchair with a good book listening to this band, rather than listening to the 'hilarious' comments of drunken blokes who seem to be a constant menace at quiet indie gigs. Thirteen Senses have some lovely melodies and fit these well with all the instruments, especially the guitar effects. But it felt like they were so busy having a lovely time with all these fans and whatnot, that they forgot the feelings behind their songs.
The lead singer's voice is lofty, light and lilting, but sadly not very loud. At times it was unfortunately trampled on (albeit politely) by the instruments, which was a shame because his voice has a genuine edge to it. All in all, a pleasant time was had by all watching Thirteen Senses but it's going to be quite easy to forget their music.
