GOWAN RESURRECTS THE OMINOUS SPIRITUS
WITH THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY REISSUE OF STRANGE ANIMAL
AND A SPECIAL CONCERT ANNOUNCEMENT!

Toronto, ON – On March 23rd, 2010 one of the best selling Canadian albums of the 80’s, GOWAN’s Strange Animal will be re-issued as a special edition CD+DVD by Linus Entertainment.

2010 marks the 25th anniversary of the initial release of Strange Animal, an album that defined the Canadian sound in the 1980s, going Triple Platinum, and hitting #1 on sales and radio charts with the dramatic singles “A Criminal Mind” “Guerilla Soldier”, “Cosmetics” and “You’re a Strange Animal”.

Now a full time member of STYX performing at stadium concerts around the world and a bona fide rock icon, Gowan is celebrating his Canadian rock legacy with the re-issue of Strange Animal and a special concert at Fallsview Casino Resort in Niagara Falls, Ontario on May 7th and 8th, where he will perform the album in its entirety with his band, which includes Todd Sucherman of STYX on drums, as well as members of his original band from 1985.

The limited edition CD+DVD package includes the fully re-mastered album, and a bonus DVD containing a 20 minute documentary of the making of Strange Animal – which was recorded at the studio in Tittenhurst Park in Ascot, England - the home and studio where John Lennon lived and recorded the “Imagine” album. The four now iconic music videos which accompanied the hit singles from 1985 are on the DVD, two new previously unreleased recordings and videos produced by Gowan, a live video version of “A Criminal Mind” performed by Gowan with STYX, and new original animations based on the characters original conceived and developed by Gowan for Strange Animal.

Joining STYX in 1999, Gowan has spent the last decade touring the world, playing the Superbowl twice, the Tokyo-dome, Wembley Arena, visited the White House, and performing “A Criminal Mind” for hundreds of thousands of adoring STYX fans at packed stadiums, all of whom have now learned what we Canadians have known since 1985. Man, you’re a Strange Animal.

Gowan and his band will be performing live in concert May 7th & 8th, 2010 at Fallsview Casino Resort in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Tickets for these shows will be available beginning at noon on Friday, February 12th, at the Fallsview Casino Box Office (on any show date) or at all Ticketmaster outlets, by calling Ticketmaster at 1-877-833-3110 or by visiting www.ticketmaster.ca.

Man, you’re a Strange Animal.


They played a club in Tokyo about 10 years ago, but not the Tokyo Dome. Big difference!


And they play a side stage at the superbowl bigger difference.

Well Froy, I don't believe it was sold in the US.. I think it was available as an import only. I know Gowan did a few shows in the US with Tears For Fears.

That was the way it was for many Canadian artists in the 80s other then say Cory Hart, Rush, Loverboy, and Bryan Adams.

They were Canadian talent signed by a Canadian label for primarily release in Canada.. Several "Canuck" artists had the same deal: Gowan, Boulevard, Jane Siberry, Brighton Rock, Harem Scarem, Tom Cochrane (Pre Mad Mad World), Northern Pikes, Tragically Hip, etc. Tons of airplay and promotion in Canada, but zero anywhere else.. There's many other artists even today that have the same thing. Blame Can Con I guess.

As for DDY's first album, there were lots of copies released on LP and Cassette, but very few (probably less then 10% of total copies sold in Canada) on CD. I guess the same could be said stateside for DDY.

Babyblue, no sorry I can't make the Gowan solo shows in May.. We're renovating our house and honestly I can't justify spening $1000s of dollars anymore for a concert. It would run at least $500 each to fly there, then at least another $500 for hotels, food tickets, etc.


Hopefully there will be a Cdn tour soon enough.
