The band Styx, which was formed in 1961 was originally known as The Tradewinds. In 1965 the band changed the name to TW4 after a band called The Trade Winds broke nationally. Finally, after signing to Wooden Nickel Records in 1972, the name was officially changed to Styx. Dennis Deyoung has said the reason that it was chosen was because it was the only name that none of the members hated.

yes It must also be noted that the original band Styx split up....Tommy Shaw took the name Styx and went his way after adding Gowan as the lead singer.... and Dennis Deyoung, the architect behind the diversity of the band went his way and tours under the name "Dennis Deyoung and the Music of Styx.

How much would you have to pay Styx for a show?

It would be nearly impossible to get the real band Styx to play a show. I would guess on the order of $100,000 to over $200,000 depending on how much they feel like doing it. It would be more reasonable to get a cover band, maybe $1,000 or even less to play an evening of Styx songs and I'm sure there is at least one Styx tribute band out there...
