Unknown Culprits add Simpsons’ wit to set

E-mail Print PDF

You have to love a band that will add Simpsons  songs to their set. That was one of many highlights of sparsely attended showThe Unknown Culprits. Photo by Richard Amery from B.C. born, Toronto based blues/rock/ pop band the Unknown Culprits who returned to Average Joes, Sept. 3.


 They didn’t have a lot of people, but the ones there enjoyed an uptempo,  hyperactive version of “Roadhouse Blues,” which ended their first set as well as a  catchy ’60s pop tinged original “Daze,” the title track of their new CD.


 Their last set of the night included an upbeat, bluesy version of Van Morrison’s “Moondance,” as well as a decent version of Tom Petty’s “You’re So Bad,”  but just for kicks they played an amped up, country rock  version of Lurleen Lumpkin’s “Your Wife Ddon’t Understand You, But I Do,” from the Simpsons, which they followed with “Homer at Bat.”


 They played several originals, added some talk box effect and ended with a hyperactive version of “Highway To Hell.”
