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 a real live band, and are not to be confused with
any of the current cabaret style pretenders of the 'Stars
In Their Eyes' brigade! This is why T.Rextasy have gained
the respect from Marc Bolan's contemporaries, and have
been accepted on tour with the likes of Gary Glitter,
Roy Wood, The Sweet, Slade, Ian Hunter, and Status Quo.
Due to the band's stage performance and attitude, and
not to mention the meticulous study and choice of material,
T.Rextasy are attracting a wide age group. Perhaps this
is why they have not only played the Glam Rock nostalgia
gigs, but 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. To headline a club
or rock venue usually demands an 80-90 minute fully blown
rock 'n' roll show. A headline theatre show usually comprises
a 90 minute performance including a complete and authentic
T.Rex show, which would include 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.
