Extc

A concert by EXTC, a band formed in 2019 by XTC's drummer Terry Chambers to perform the classic songs of XTC, staged at Band On The Wall in Manchester.

EXTC was formed in 2019 by Terry Chambers, drummer of XTC, who has taken the group's name from an arrangement approved by XTC frontman Andy Partridge. The project is built around XTC's own repertoire rather than new material.

XTC emerged from the post-punk and new-wave scene of the late 1970s and enjoyed international success touring alongside The Police and Talking Heads. The band stopped touring in 1982 and afterwards worked as a studio-based act. EXTC performs songs from that catalogue, including Making Plans for Nigel, Senses Working Overtime, Mayor of Simpleton, Generals and Majors, Sgt. Rock (Is Going To Help Me) and Love on a Farmboy's Wages.

Band On The Wall is a live music venue at 25 Swan Street in Manchester's Northern Quarter, and it mainly hosts concerts with a focus on pop, rock and indie. The evening will appeal to listeners who know XTC's songs and want to hear them performed by the group's former drummer.
