Most of Average Joes remembered One Bad Son from their Jan. 10 opening set for Buck Cherry, during their 
headlining show, April 29.
A decent crowd cheered and eventually danced to big , beefy Led Zeppelin inspired guitar riffs from Adam Hicks and thunderous drumming from a beaming Kurt Dahl.
The Saskatoon born, Vancouver based rock and roll band played upon a sparse stage backlit by a stack of three static filled televisions, each reading One, Bad and Son.
Vocalist Shane Volk, as per usual, had an amazing siren of a voice what could very well have shattered glass, combining the gruffness of AC DC's Brian Johnson and the soulful blues of Robert Plant.
Tall, lanky bassist Adam Grant stood in the shadows, laying down a rock solid groove, emerging every so often to sing harmony.
They crashed through all of the highlights of their new CD as Volk donned a battered acoustic guitar for their big radio hit “Scarecrow,” but that was the only slow moment of a high octane set of energetic ’70s rock complete with drum solos.
Volk admitted they were flying by the seat of their pants for this show, show there was a little jamming and an impressive cover of the Talking Heads’ “Psycho Killer” which they completely made their own with a more rock orientated groove and a lot of volume.
“As you can tell from our hair, we come from the ’70s,” he joked.
They also introduced several brand new songs.
