T-Rextasy
- T-Rex Tribute Band
T-Rextasy,
the ultimate tribute to Marc Bolan & T.Rex, made their debut on
18 September 1992 in a small club in Hackney, East London.
The venue sold out with
new and old T.Rex fans, including ex-T.Rex drummer, Bill Legend.
Today, of course, T-Rextasy
are not only hailed as one of the highest acclaimed tribute bands
on the scene, but are also known as one of the few bands that actually
play without the aid of samplers, backing tapes, and wigs!
T-Rextasy
are attracting a wide age group. Perhaps this is why they have played
the Glam Rock nostalgia gigs, and also with top indie bands such
as Dodgy at the Phoenix Festival, and the prestigious Midtfyns Festival
in Denmark, where they appeared with Blur and Iron Maiden. In the
Summer of 1997 they were also asked to appear with Status Quo at
Rugen Island in Germany.
To watch T-Rextasy in concert not only
demands stamina, but also a healthy pair of lungs to sing along
to the rocking numbers that made Bolan the leading force of Glam
Rock.
After the initial impact of T-Rextasy's
stage presence, and the lead singer's uncanny resemblance in voice
and looks to Marc Bolan, you know that you're in for an evening's
worth of Bolanic hits, played to perfection and with incredible
enthusiasm.
T-Rextasy play for their audience, and
most of them obviously want to hear songs they know and love. Therefore,
the band always include T.Rex's Top 20 hits such as: Metal
Guru, Jeepster, Telegram
Sam, Hot Love, Children
of the Revolution, Ride a White Swan, Get it On, I Love to Boogie, New York City, The Groover, Solid Gold Easy Action, and 20th
Century Boy.
T-Rextasy are more than just a tribute
band, they are ultimately the definitive T.Rex experience of the
21st Century. T-Rextasy are booked
for all kinds of concerts, events and private functions:
To headline a club or rock venue
usually demands an 80-90 minute fully blown rock 'n' roll show.
To headline theatre show usually
comprises a 90 minute performance including a complete and authentic
T.Rex show, which includes an electric set, followed by an acoustic
and congas performance, and finishing the show with a second set of
electric rockers.
T-Rextasy also enjoy playing
support to major acts with a set-up which comprises of one hour of
Glam Rock Top 20 T.Rex hits.
