T . REXTASY // 19 JAN
Marc Bolan , with his band T . Rex , was one of the most flamboyant and charismatic stars of the original glam rock era . With Bolan ' s special ingredient of rock-aboogie songs , the band had a string of huge hits throughout the 1970s including Love to Boogie , Telegram Sam , Jeepster and 20th Century Boy .
T . Rextasy have now been performing around the world for over 20 years , a career that ironically outlives Marc ’ s very own T . Rex . The band is now accepted as the world ’ s only official live tribute band dedicated to Marc Bolan and T . Rex , and the only band endorsed and approved by Marc Bolan ’ s family , estate , original ex-members of T . Rex , and Bolan ’ s catalogue management . The band has been described by many as ‘ beyond the boundaries of tribute ’. Truly a rock n roll concert for all ages – if you would like to know exactly what a Marc Bolan concert was like in the 1970s , this show is for you !
