T - Rextasy
THE SLIDER 40th ANNIVERSARY TOUR
(1972 - 2012)
4O years ago, a record that inspired and lodged into the psyche of the latest music and fashion culture that instigated what was termed glam-rock was released. The album was called ‘The Slider' which contained two exceptional single releases from the collection. The first was ‘Telegram Sam', the second, ‘Metal Guru, both songs of which hit the No.1 chart position and are historically synonymous with the 1970s legendary musician and icon, Marc Bolan of T.Rex.
With a career now spanning over 19 years, T.Rextasy are now accepted as the world's only official live tribute band dedicated to Marc Bolan & 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. Due their passion, musical ability, longevity, and attention to detail, the band is consistently described by many as ‘legendary' and ‘beyond the boundaries of tribute'.
They have, with their Marc Bolan doppelganger lead vocalist and lead guitarist, Danielz, signed with Columbia Records and Liberation DVD, won the accolade of ‘Best Live Tribute Band in the UK' on BBC 1's ‘Battle of the Fantasy Bands', performed at the original Billy Elliot Premiere Party, filmed for the BBC TV ‘Arena Special', toured around the world from Europe to Japan and have performed at most of the Arenas in the UK. They have played alongside many of the 1970s original contemporaries such as Wizzard, Cockney Rebel, Slade, and Ian Hunter, to name a few. In September 2007 they played to 40,000 at the BBC Proms Night at London's Hyde Park, and headlined their own sell-out concert at the Shepherds Bush Empire with their special guests Marc Almond, Gloria Jones, Clem Burke (drummer with Blondie), Linda Lewis, and Shakin' Stevens.
The band have also had accepted invitations from ex-members of T.Rex such as Mickey Finn, Marc's son Rolan Bolan, and Bolan/Bowie producer Tony Visconti, to play alongside them in past special Anniversary concerts. Dino Dines, a long-time member of T.Rex, actually joined T.Rextasy and remained with them until sadly passing away a few years ago....the list goes on...
T.Rextasy play homage to Bolan's biggest hits, such as ‘Ride a White Swan', ‘Jeepster', ‘Telegram Sam', ‘New York City', ‘Debora', ‘Teenage Dream', ‘Hot Love', ‘20th Century Boy', ‘Telegram Sam', ‘Metal Guru', ‘The Groover', ‘I Love To Boogie', ‘Children of the Revolution', and of course ‘Get it On'. The band plays totally live recreating the music, performance and excitement of those heady and outrageous glam rock times. If you want to know exactly what a Marc Bolan rock'n'roll concert felt like in the 1970s, this gig is for you!
T.Rextasy - awarded the accolade of ‘The Best Live Tribute Band in the UK' by BBC1 TV.
‘They're the closest you're ever going to get to the real thing'
- Bill Legend (original T.Rex drummer)
‘T.Rextasy is the tribute act who breaks all the rules by being bloody brilliant. Danielz is an exact replica of Marc, he's uncanny.
- The Independent on Sunday
‘Danielz is a curator of Bolan's life, a perfectionist protector of the legacy - T.Rextasy play with a poignant, flamboyant skill.'
- The Observer
"Danielz looks and sounds uncannily like Bolan and has dedicated his life to the man" - The Times
"Danielz is more than a career lookalike. Here we have a serious guitarist with the animal grace of early Bolan and the clear un-equivocal love of the music"
- The Stage
"Danielz just freaks me out!"
- Mickey Finn (original T.Rex percussionist)

Transmission - The Sound Of Joy Division
A tribute band of the highest calibre, these guys are great everytime.
Ian Curtis, vocalist with Joy Division was found dead in Manchester Street on Sunday morning, May 18th, 1980. He was believed to have committed suicide. The band split up immediately. Joy Division were always alienating; never introduced songs; remained immobile and solemn on stage and never did encores. Their ominous presence was bleak and experimental. In short, they were one of the few bands capable of changing the face of music back in the day when indie really WAS indie and a grey trench coat was compulsory. Devoted to recreating the atmosphere of a live gig, leading UK tribute Transmission emulate the dark cavernous sound of post-punk pioneers Joy Division, more than twenty years on ...
