GLAM Rock fans are in for a treat at Christchurch Regent next week.

I Love to Boogie with T-REXTASY has been hailed as the very best tribute to the tousle-haired icon Marc Bolan and his band T-Rex and they visit on Thursday April 16.

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 T.Rex, was one of the most flamboyant and charismatic of the original glam rock era.

With Bolan's special ingredient of Rock-a-Boogie songs throughout the 1970s including Telegram Sam and Jeepster he was able to obtain what would be yet another Top 20 record later in 1976 that has since become one of the most memorable and everlasting signature tunes, I Love to Boogie.

T.Rextasy have now been performing around the world for over 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 & 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!

T.Rextasy was 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”, said Bill Legend (original T.Rex drummer) .
