EXTC

For almost four decades, XTC fans could only dream of witnessing the sensational XTC classic songbook played live. That dream has now become a reality. XTC’s legendary drummer, Terry Chambers, is back on the road with his band EXTC (named and approved by XTC frontman, Andy Partridge).

Emerging out of the post-punk and new-wave explosion of the late 70s. XTC experienced global success, touring with the likes of The Police and Talking Heads. Sadly, their legions of loyal fans would be left in limbo, when in 1982 XTC stopped touring, becoming a studio-based entity. 

Alongside Terry, EXTC features frontman Steve Hampton (lead vocal & guitar - Joe Jackson, The Vapors and Dead Crow Road) and Terry Lines (bass & vocals - The Rams and Dead Crow Road).

XTC is one of the most groundbreaking and influential British bands to have emerged from the new wave scene. While XTC are no more, the power-pop baton has now passed to EXTC – an XTC-approved band featuring legendary original drummer, Terry Chambers.

Alongside Terry, EXTC features Steve Tilling (vocals, guitar, ex-TC&I – the band of Colin Moulding and Terry Chambers), Beren Matthews (guitar, vocals) and Ken Wynne (bass, vocals). And for the ultimate stamp of approval, EXTC comes with the support and blessing of XTC luminaries Andy Partridge and Dave Gregory.
