Styx: Kilroy Was Here

Sponsored by Easy Street Records. In 1983, Styx returned to the record charts with Kilroy Was Here, the most ambitious of the band's concept albums, which focused on a renegade leading a rebellion in a totalitarian future by bringing rock and roll to the people. "Mr. Roboto" was a techno-rocker of the first order with a uniquely catchy hook in its synthesized chant of "domo arigato, Mr. Roboto." The album also boasted a trademark power-ballad in "Don't Let It End." Both of these songs became Top-10 hits as Kilroy Was Here sailed up the charts. Meanwhile, the group backed up their hit album with a spectacular stage show that involved elaborate costume changes and scripted dialogue, as well as a 14-minute short film to explain the album's story. This rock classic is a half-amusing, half-menacing parable of technology, the rock culture and modern demagoguery. In other words its just plain awesome! Don't miss this concert doc and rare screening of the accompanying short film. Screening introduced by Western Bridge's Eric Fredrickson.
