In September 2007 they played to 40,000 at the BBC Proms Night at LondonвЂ™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 ShakinвЂ™ Stevens.

They have, with their Marc Bolan doppelganger lead vocalist and lead guitarist, Danielz, signed with Columbia Records, Madman Records, and Demon DVD, won the accolade of вЂBest Live Tribute Band in the UKвЂ™ on BBC 1вЂ™s вЂBattle of the Fantasy BandsвЂ™, filmed for the BBC TV вЂArena SpecialвЂ™, toured around the world from Europe to Japan and have performed at most of the Arenas in the UK. Due their passion, musical ability, longevity, and attention to detail, the band is consistently described by many as вЂlegendaryвЂ™and вЂbeyond the boundaries of tributeвЂ™. The band are now accepted as the worldвЂ™s only official live tribute band dedicated to Marc Bolan & T.Rex, and the only band endorsed and approved by Marc BolanвЂ™s family, estate, original ex-members of T.Rex, and BolanвЂ™s catalogue management. T.Rextasy have now been gigging around the world for over 2 decades, a career that ironically out lives MarcвЂ™s very own T.Rex. Marc Bolan is now recognised as the original innovator of the 1970s glam-rock scene, and with T.Rextasy, who June Bolan (MarcвЂ™s wife), after seeing Danielz and the band perform at Wembley Arena, commented вЂњIf there was anyone to follow in MarcвЂ™s shoes, IвЂ™d like it to be you!вЂќ now carrying the baton, everyone can once more enjoy the spirit of a T.Rex concert! T.Rextasy celebrate the songвЂ™s anniversary in their current 2016 вЂI Love to Boogie TourвЂ™ which is currently making its way around the UK throughout the year! Unbelievably, it is now 40 years since the release of the single вЂI Love to BoogieвЂ™, which sounds as fresh today as it did all those years ago. In 2000, T.Rextasy were approached by the film directors of Billy Elliot to play at their prestigious film launch premiere party in LondonвЂ™s West End, where the band played a 1hr performance to the likes of Julie Walters, Jamie Bell, Kathy Burke, Hugh Grant, and other specially invited guests. That song was called вЂI Love to BoogieвЂ™, a slice of pure Rockabilly-Bolan that is so memorable that is has now become one the best loved Bolan tracks in the UK. One song in-particular that has become an iconic mini-anthem in the world of popular music reached No.13 in June 1976, and has since been used in many advertising campaigns, television shows, and most notably in the feature film Billy Elliot. Sadly, MarcвЂ™s life was cut short after a car accident and died in September 1977 вЂ“ he was still only 29 years old. Marc Bolan, with his band T.Rex, was one of the most flamboyant and charismatic characters of the original glam rock era. With iconic glam anthems and rock classics including songs such as 20 th Century Boy, вЂSolid Gold Easy ActionвЂ™, Ride A White Swan, Metal Guru, Jeepster, Get It On, Hot Love, Children of the Revolution, and many others, BolanвЂ™s unique style, even now, well over 40 years later, has the power to bridge the gap of generations turning all ages both young and old onto what Bolan termed вЂCosmic RockвЂ™. From 1970 to 1976 he had written 15 Top 20 hits, and between 19 had notched up 9 Top 20 albums. The worldвЂ™s only official live tribute band dedicated toДЇor many, Marc Bolan was the very first superstar of the 1970s.
