Styx |
The American rock band, Styx, will be the featured entertainment at the Spike party during the 2010 International Builders’ Show in Las Vegas on Jan. 19-22.
The Spike party, free to all eligible Spikes, will be from 7:00-10:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 20 at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
 Spawned in a suburban Chicago basement in the early 1970s, Styx would eventually be transformed into the virtual arena rock prototype by the early 1980s. From its breakthrough hit “Lady” to the classic rock radio standards "Come Sail Away," "Renegade," "Blue Collar Man" and "Fooling Yourself” and the concept albums “Paradise Theater” and “Kilroy Was Here,” Styx has dominated the rock landscape throughout its career and was the first band in the history of rock to release four consecutive triple-platinum albums.
Since 1999, Styx — Tommy Shaw, James “JY” Young, Lawrence Gowan, Todd Sucherman and Ricky Phillips along with the occasional appearance by original bassist Chuck Panozzo — has performed live more often than it did in its previous history. Recent performances include two Super Bowl appearances as well as Pollstar Box Office chart-topping tours with Def Leppard, Journey, Boston, REO Speedwagon, Bad Company and others.
To Attend
Tickets for the Spike party are required and can be picked up onsite, with photo ID, at the Spike Party Booth in the Central Concourse of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Eligible Spikes must have a minimum of six credits and must have earned one new member recruitment credit between Jan. 1 and Oct. 31, 2009. The one new member recruitment credit can be a full credit for a new builder or associate member, or two 1/2 credits for new affiliate or council members.
