T-Rex came about when Steve Took, (Porter died 1980). Left because of Marc's big headiness Marc refused to let him perform any of his own songs. And so after three albums he left linking up with John Twink Alder ex Tomorrow. Bolan then linked up with Micky Finn ex Hapshash and the coloured coat etc. A more electric sound was created. Adding Bill Bruford on drums and Steve Currie on bass they shortened the name. And as time went on and Marc got more famous he declined an interview with John Peel. Peel promote them on his Radio shows. And because of the snub John Peel refuses to play their records.

[softsoup642]

Their voices:

Joseph- Brummie accent, and a bit androgynous. It’s like boiling water.

Johannes- Egoism Realicide (so sorry)

Sol- Luis Alberto Spinetta but British.

Jebden- This, but cockney-er.

Rex- American accent, and rather deep. It’s like if salty black coffee had a voice.

Johann- A gentle, soft, received pronunciation accent.

Fabio- Ben Shapiro but Italian.

Behold: Hard Soup

[eddie-rifff]

my past 6 months spotify festival!

1. imagine a universe in which vdgg goes on AFTER david bowie

2. id shit my pants and die if this could happen. i think when i die, if i go to heaven, this is what it will be like. except UK would be on there-- the only reason theyre not is because danger money isnt on spotify which is lame as hell

3. bill bruford played with 4 of these groups/artists, and john wetton played with 5. and again if UK were included it would be 5 and 6

4. which night r u going to?? its my festival so i get to go to all of them. but if i had to pick.. probably wednesday because of alice and t. rex

[eddie-rifff]

2, 3, 5, 6 and 14 for the vinyl collector ask game. Write me a novel!

:'))))))

2. What was your first vinyl?

my dad let me pick through his collection before i went out shopping so it was probably some Beatles or Stones record, the first I remember BUYING was a Procol Harum greatest hits

3. What are the coolest discs you own? (Colored, transparent, etc) Show us!

i got up out of bed to fetch this lol

i also have a blue and red tie-dye version of Tanx by T. Rex which is pretty neat, but this one has Bill Bruford on it so

5. Which artist’s records do you own the most of?

oh Yes easily. oh wait I also have a lot of Bowie albums......... i may have about as many Bowie as Yes actually????? its definitely between them two

6. Vinyl with a story behind it?

i have one from a group called Detective, which i cant imagine many of you know (i didnt until i came across this record)... i saw it across the room in the vinyl bin in an antique mall- the sole reason it caught my eye was that i saw who i thought was Eddie Jobson on the cover so i was like ooh is that him hold on let me check the back and no it was not Eddie Jobson, but there WAS Tony Kaye on the cover who i had completely not recognized/ didnt even pay attention to because he was wearing sunglasses and i was only curious about the Eddie lookalike. anyway when i met Tony a few years later i told him about that and he said the guy did resemble Eddie in that photo and we had a good laugh about it :') it always tickles me that i can just throw out names of people to musicians and they know who im talking about (of course Tony knows Eddie, theyre very much in the same circle so that one wasnt too surprising) but its very satisfying to just talk about people and have the whoever im talking to know exactly WHO im talking about and even know them personally a lot of the time

14. Most expensive vinyl?

i think i paid about $60 for a Syd Barrett vinyl and id do it again! as well as some T. Rex record with songs on it that i had never heard before- i guess they were otherwise unreleased demos?? idk ill have to look into it eventually. its a very strange record, not a bootleg per se but if memory serves correctly there was only one other mention of it on discogs- whatever it was it was produced in very small numbers, i imagine? i have a good few that are $40+, the ones i buy these days are in the $20-40 range because i have all of the easy to find ones, now im getting the obscure/ rare ones and new pressings of ones that are basically impossible to find, ie Roller by Goblin which i MAY one day see...... but i would be utterly astounded to do so, and willing to pay probably upwards of $60 for it too. i would be VERY hard pressed to pay more than like $80 for a single record though.. maybe like, a sealed pressing of Unicorn or something, which again, i cannot imagine finding in the USA in all my lifetime, but oh what a find that would be. it would have to be very special. but that wasnt even the question was it ha ha <3

[softsoup642]

How I came up with their names:

Sol’s middle name comes from Phil Parris Lynott, and their last name comes from Keith Emerson.

Jebden’s first, middle, and last names come from Roger Waters, Russell Mael, and Mick Ronson respectively. His mononym comes from me mashing up parts of names together to make some silly name for some silly character.

Rex’s first name was suggested by a friend, his last name comes from Bill Bruford, and his nickname is a reference to the band T. Rex.

Johann’s first name comes from Johann Sebastian Bach, his middle name comes from Friedrich Engels, and his last name comes from Klaus Meine.

Fabio’s last name comes from Claudio Galieti.

Joseph’s first name comes from one of my names, his middle name comes from Hugh Banton, and his last name comes from Robert Wyatt.

Johannes’s first name comes from a variation on one of my names, his middle name comes from Vincent Crane, and his last name comes from Peter Hammill.
