Perhaps no two 1970’s era bands better defined the all-American good time summer classic rock sound more than Boston and Styx. These artists took rock music to places it had never been, with a radio-friendly and highly-polished sound, with vocals and harmonies that set the standard for every popular classic rock band that followed.
Now BOSTYX re-creates the amazing music of these two classic rock icons with a full complement of world-class musicians, reproducing Boston’s soaring guitar harmonies and lightning-fast keyboard runs as well as the lush backing vocals and theatrical style of Styx. Handling the distinctive lead vocals of Styx co-founder Dennis DeYoung is multi-talented drummer and lead vocalist, Glenn Jost. And lead vocalist/guitarist David Victor handles the vocals of two of the best-loved rock tenors of all-time, Boston’s Brad Delp and Styx’s Tommy Shaw.
BOSTYX faithfully performs the best-loved hits of these two amazing American classic rock acts including “More Than A Feeling”, “Blue Collar Man”, “Don’t Look Back”, “The Best Of Times”, “Lady”, “Peace Of Mind”, “Renegade”, “Foreplay/Long Time” and many more.
February 2012′s BOSTYX show at the brand new Marquee 15 club in Corona, CA elicited this response from the club’s talent buyer:
Just a note to tell you how extremely impressed my staff and I were with your Bostyx show at Marquee 15. As you know, we book all the top tribute bands including Atomic Punks, DSB, Led Zepagain and Aeromyth and I can say unreservedly that Bostyx is right up there with these great acts. Most importantly, our audience LOVED you guys! Needless to say, we can’t wait to have you guys back.
- Ben, Talent Buyer, Marquee 15
But what do the fans think? Here’s the story from a brand new BOSTYX fan:
Guys- I am really not into tribute bands and am pretty burned out on both of those bands’ music. I got dragged out to the Belly Up last night and I have to tell you how AMAZED I was with your band…all stellar players/singers and more importantly, the energy was just off the charts. Total entertainment and live production of music that is not that easy to nail down vocally if you are doing it right. BIG props gents! I am spreading the word…when will you be back at the Belly Up?”
- Rob Hanzlik
So how good is BOSTYX, really? Good enough for the amazing TOM SCHOLZ of BOSTON to tap BOSTYX lead vocalist/guitarist David Victor for the Summer 2012 North American BOSTON tour! That’s right, BOSTYX’s own David Victor will be touring with the actual, legendary BOSTON, slingin’ his axe and singing lead on some of the band’s greatest hits. Please see the www.bandboston.com website for confirmed show dates.
