Monday night saw Thirteen Senses play the second of their three dates at The Luminaire in Kilburn, and were on top form ahead of their exciting 2007 plans.

Opening up were two fifths of Newsum Turn, who quite simply are ones to watch in 2007. Imagine a bigger Coldplay with more layers and a cheeky smile and you’ve got Newsum. If they’re not big in coming months, things aren’t right in this world. From their opening “Take a Bow” to their closer of “Home” they just blew everyone away – they were just as good as Thirteen Senses, and could have played more than their six songs for people and we’d still have enjoyed.

9:30 rolled round and Thirteen Senses came on, launching straight into “Contact”, and moving through their set at a decent pace. The band filled the small Luminaire with sound, making everyone feel like they’re down the front, and a real family feeling. Their new songs feel like they could make everyone at Wembley feel cosy and involved, and are truly epic. “Spirals” was a masterpiece, as was their forthcoming single “All the Love In Your Hands”.

Towards the end of the set they played “History” from their debut album, which, having not heard it before live, was just pure bliss. Angelic vocals, amazing guitars and keys, collectively combined for the penultimate song. The closing song of the set was new one “Ones and Zeros”, another anthemic song from the four-piece from Cornwall.

Overall Thirteen Senses seem to be on top of their game at the moment, and look sure to storm the UK next year with the absence of Keane and Coldplay et al releasing albums, so watch out for these boys storming the album charts soon!
