Perhaps no two 1970's era artists more effectively defined the all-American good time summer time classic rock music more than Boston and Styx. These groups moved rock music to areas it had never been, using highly-polished sound and radio-friendly, using harmonies and vocals that established the standard for each prominent classic rock band that succeeded.
BOSTYX re-creates the outstanding songs of these two traditional rock bands with a full complement of first class musicians, reproducing Boston's soaring guitar harmonies and lightning-fast keyboard runs along with the rich supporting vocals and theatrical technique of Styx. Handling the distinctive lead vocals of Styx co-founder Dennis DeYoung is multi-skilled drummer and lead vocalist Glenn Jost. And lead vocalist/guitarist David Victor handles the vocals of two of the most respected rock tenors of all-time, Boston's Brad Delp and Styx's Tommy Shaw.
BOSTYX faithfully executes the best-loved hits of these two amazing American traditional rock bands including "The Best Of Times", "Foreplay/Long Time", "Lady", "More Than A Feeling", "Peace Of Mind", "Renegade", "Blue Collar Man", "Don't Look Back" and many others.
Clearly, BOSTYX can be described as a classic rock Boston tribute band and Styx tribute band with a dazzling future. They are an ideal supplement to any summer classic rock lineup with music certain to satisfy any kind of crowd. You'll definitely want to treat everybody to this incredible tribute to the ageless music of Boston and Styx. BOSTYX can even be available as an "unplugged" acoustic cast for events and venues that have lower volume requirements. BOSTYX's acoustic performance truly demonstrates the remarkable vocal melodies and harmonies and is ideal for weddings, quieter clubs, private parties or any relaxed occasion.
15 Crazy Things To Do If You're Bored
Bored? Wondering if you were to die tomorrow, would your life have been wasted, and in vain? Get out and do something about that! Here are twenty ideas — certainly you can find one or two that will work for you. Now get to it!
1. Kiss a Celebrity. If you can’t find one, anyone who’s ever tried out for Project Fame, Naija Sings or The Next Movie Star counts!
2. Force your way uninvited into a VIP party. Repeat after every stuck-up Nigerian celeb, “‘Don’t you frigging know who I am?!”
3. Enter for a pageant – do it just for the trips and hey, there are countless to choose from! Miss Nigeria, MBGN, Miss Commonwealth, Sisi Oge, Miss Delta Soap, Miss Olokun, Miss Motors (yes, you are reading right) and as for the brothers, don’t feel left out…Mr Nigeria, Face of World, Duke of Nigeria, Mr Heartland, Best Beach Body, Mr Bad Guy (dont ask) – and simply deliver a speech about World Peace. Isn’t that what this is all about, after all?
4. Get a piercing and a tattoo in one single whoop!
5. Have the confidence to say ”I love you” without having to hear it back!
6. Work your behind off to get a nomination at the prestigious The Future Awards. If no one is nominating you, do so yourself. If no one is voting, buy three Nokia torchlight phones and vote endlessly until Chude, Debola and The Future clan call you up to tell you to take a chill pill!
7. Perfect telling one joke. And make it a funny one.
8. Ask your boss for a raise.
9. Do something kind for someone else when there’s nothing in it for you.

11. Neither HAIR nor there! Have a drastic hairdo and haircut and no, a couple of inches off the bottom doesn’t count!
12. Watch five Funke Akindele movies in a row namely Jenifa 1 and 2 (We’ve all seen it, I know, but it won’t hurt to watch again), The Return of Jenifa and Omo Ghetto 1 and 2 I defy you not to laugh!
13. Learn at least 10 Chinese words.
14. Visit Rio De Janeiro during the carnival and do some crazy dancing wearing absolutely nothing. *no one would recognize you, trust me*
15. Hustle to feature in a music video and do it my way; don’t be in a crowd scene, be at the forefront and steal the spotlight – even from the artist if you can!
