Billy Borgioli's long and storied history as a Boston rocker began in the late-1970's with his tenure as the lead guitarist for the one of the greatest bands in Boston rock history The Real Kids. During that time the band was a fixture at the original Boston punk club "The Rathskellar", better known as the "Rat", as well as CBGB's in New York City. The Real Kids recorded their eponymously-titled debut which featured searing guitar interplay between Borgioli and vocalist/songwriter John Felice with former New York Dolls and Ramones patron Marty Thau of Red Star Records producing. In the 1980s, and stepping out the shadow of Felice, Borgioli formed The Varmints and became its frontman and chief songwriter. Unrelenting in their passion for aggressive 60's inspired rock n' roll, with the new release "Boston Cream", Billy Borgioli and his Varmints continue blasting out gritty, no-nonsense rock 'n' roll.
