John Felice's Real Kids were catalyzers of the Boston punk scene, although the
sound of their 1977 debut single
(the legendary All Kindsa Girl) and the best tracks
migliori (My Baby's Book) off the album
Real Kids (Redstar, 1978)
were mainly influenced by early Rolling Stones.
The group disbanded in 1980. Felice moonlighted briefly in the Taxi Boys,
then reformed the Real Kids and recorded
Outta Place (Star Rhythm, 1982), that includes
Outta Place and
Can't Talk To That Girl.
She, off Hit You Hard (New Rose, 1983), was their last classic.
Felice will surface again with the
Lowdowns (Ace Of Hearts, 1988), but the sound had mutated into
conventional punk-pop.
The New Rose Years (Munster, 2003) collects
Outta Place (1982),
Hit You Hard (1983) and a live album.
