The Real Kids Fan Club
A very active french fan club existed in Bordeaux, France, during the years 83, 84, 85 .... (I don't
know if it's active by now ?) as far as I remember put up by Christian Larrède & José Ruiz
- guitarist of such bands as Stilettos, Gamine; and - for me - one of the greatest ever french rock guitar player
; he also was a rock critic, frequent traveler to USA where he met all those group we're fan (apparently still
writing for some e-zines or sites like amazon.fr, journalist at Radio France Bordeaux ?? where are you now
Jose ?) ... he also appears as thanks to on numerous records, as by the Real Kids, ....
The french zine 19 (nineteen) has been used as the media by the Real Kids Fan Club : you'll find here some excerpts
from this period, taken from the zine, with also some scans of the autographed records from José's collection.
apparently ther would be another another Real Kids fan club active (at least selling t-shirts and stickers) in
the USA :
