Last, with a tough act to follow such a tight Moth set, was Second Sense. They produced a decent if uninsipiring set of funky reggae influenced rock. It was nothing special but nothing awful either. In an act of bravado or daftness the lead female lead singer introed the band during the first song and plugged their next gig. As with Kill Dorothy, the young lady fronting the band had absolutely no prescence at all, prefering to stare into the rafters rather than engage the audience. As with KD, the bassist had the most stage prescence of the lot of them. Bands like this have got to understand that putting a good looking woman up front does not make up for lack of stage persona and tunes.
To be honest longer sets from the opening act and Moth would have been a much more pleasant evening. Lets hope Moth graduate from this type of gig very soon. That said, it was not a whole horrid night of music in ole' Kensington town. West 14 is a rather good venue it has to be said.
