O/T: Light Up A Tribute To Styx

[Everett]

As part of my attempt at putting postive posts here this wisconsin band is probably the best styx tribute band out there. I plan on seeing them a few times later next month but I can't seem to find the venue websites for where they plan to play anywhere. Anyone else have any info on them? This is from there official site:

Downtown Village - Greendale, WI

Saturday, August 18th, 2007 – Concerts at City Beach – time TBA
Wisconsin Ave - Oconomowoc, WI

Friday, August 24th, 2007 – Muskego Community Festival – 8pm
Garden Tent – Racine Ave – Muskego, WI

Now that I'm not doing my Rush tribute band, maybe I should start up a Styx one here in the Northeast. (tongue firmly planted in cheek)

No, they don't sell "Light Up" cd's...but this same band does play other shows under a different name, called "Rhythm Method", where they play other 70's/80's cover tunes. They do Journey, Kansas, Yes, Zeppelin, Queen, etc. So they do have some cd's for that version of the band. They must have gotten the rights some how (I hope) since they'd be making money off other peoples songs...but they do basically a good job covering these bands, including Styx. There are some issues with forgetting or messing up the lyrics, and in seeing how professionally they do things and for how long, I am surprised they have not over come this yet. But their guitar players are amazing, especially Dave. My only other beef with them is that they really don't talk to anyone outside their core people...meaning they never come out to chat with casual fans. Not the norm for local bands here I guess. And trust me, I do see and have seen alot of shows in the area here over the years...just ask Suite! LOL! Anyway, their former bass player was the only one who'd chat, but then again we did know him from some past bands...I do remember their guitar player Dave from another previous local band I used to always go see "back in the day", but I'm sure he doesn't remember me now...I look alot different. But yeah, if you ever get a chance to go see these guys--do it!


Hey Suite...are you going to Light Up on Friday? My mom's in town as of Thurs. and I'm hoping I can talk her into it. She saw them at State Fair last year when she was visiting and LOVED them. RM too...so yeah, I'm hoping to be there...

I'm hoping to go on Friday. It depends how long we're staying at State Fair.

I'm SO, SO, SO ticked!!! UGH, I was suppose to film them on the 18th, but 2 family functions came up and I can't go - UGH, UGH, UGH!!!

I'll ask Brent to see if I can have some of my footage posted on You Tube. It's older with a different keyboard player, but really GREAT to see and listen too. Bobby's voice is SO amazing!!

I think it was Glen who called Bobby years ago to "try" out for lead singer of Styx when they were looking. But if I'm not mistaken, they ended up wanting someone that could play keyboards too instead of hiring 2 separate people. I have articles on a few others that were asked to try out too, I'll have to find those.


Here is one clip from their site of "Come Sail Away"
