Being a bit of a fan of seventies Glam Rock, I spent a very enjoyable Saturday night watching a Marc Bolan & T.Rex tribute band called T-Rextasy at a small venue in St Helens on Merseyside.
As tribute bands go, I have to say they were excellent, having the advantage of having a front man called Danielz, a mega Marc Bolan fan, who, without even trying bears a striking resemblance to his hero and inspiration.
Although I’d never seen T-Rextasy live before I did recall a BBC show in 2001 called ’Battle of the Fantasy Bands’ , and remembered Danielz being interviewed by presenter, Terry Wogan. If I remember rightly Danielz, being the same height and build as Bolan was actually going to perform in Bolan’s original stage outfits.
Needless to say the band won.
Apart from vocalist and lead guitarist Danielz, there’s Paul Marks on bass, Neil Cross on rhythm guitar and John Skelton on drums.
If T-Rextasy ever turn up in your neck of the woods , check ‘em out and let them take you back to the seventies.
