Classic rock band to open Canadian tour in Victoria on Wednesday, with a show at Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre
When: Wednesday, Oct. 5, 7 p.m.Nine albums in seven years? That’s almost impossible to consider, let alone create. But that was the pace for Chicago-based progressive rock band Styx during the 1970s, which laid the foundation for bigger things to come.
The band will open its Canadian tour in Victoria on Wednesday, with a concert at the Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre. It will be the first time in several decades that either Gowan or Styx have performed in Victoria, though Gowan said he has fond memories of his previous shows in the market. His last appearance here was a 1996 concert at the former Harpo’s Cabaret, three years before he was scooped by Styx. “I rarely went two years without playing Victoria.
“A rock concert is a different form of entertainment — it’s a visceral experience, where you are going on a musical journey. The greatest form of entertainment is a great rock show. And why is it that? It stays with you.”
