| Primevals
(not the scottish Primevals) Formed in 1984, it was basically John Felice and Billy Borgiolli. They did some gigs under that name, but as far as I know, no records, except the track on the Boston compilation CLAWS!. As Primevals, with another bassist, they also recorded the material for "Nothing Pretty" released as "John Felice and the Lowdowns" in 1987. Pete Taylor left the band just after the recording. The story says that the scottich Primevals were listened to (and edited in 1984) because at first sight the New Rose owners beleived they was the Felice's Primevals. Back to New Rose records in 1987 with his LP, John Felice has to change the name of the band. John Felice = vocals & guitar Billy Borgioli = guitar & backing vocals Pete Taylor = drums Dave Pedersen = bass & backing vocals | |||

Wynn about the Devotions (27th
Jan 1996). Was he speaking about the same sessions
?? "I just came back from Boston (jeez, it seems like I live there these days) where I produced an album for THE DEVOTIONS, a great new band featuring the songwriting and vocals of John Felice who used to be in the legendary Real Kids. Those of you (like myself) who remember and love the Real Kids from the early days of punk rock/power pop will be happy to know that John is still writing those incredible songs packed with unforgettable hooks and raw emotion. I don't know when it's coming out but keep looking." (taken from The WynnWeb ) |
