T.REXTASY

The Grove Theatre, Dunstable

Saturday, October 10, 7.30pm

WHILE you’re never going to be able to see T.Rex live, this is as close as you’re going to get.

These are the words of the band’s original drummer, Bill Legend, describing the only T.Rex tribute act which is officially endorsed by former members of the seminal glam rock group.

One of Britain’s most iconic bands, which suffered a premature end when frontman Marc Bolan was killed in a car crash in 1977, aged just 29.

In 1973 a record was released which would bridge the generation gap and become a rock anthem to both young and old – 20th Century Boy was written and composed by Marc Bolan, who with his band T.Rex, was one of the most flamboyant and charismatic figures of the glam rock era. T.Rextasy have now been performing around the world for more than 20 years, a career that ironically out lives 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 Bolan’s family, estate, original ex-members of T.Rex, and Bolan’s catalogue management.
