Kinks reunion not happening?
Earlier this week, Ray Davies announced that The Kinks may reform for a possible summer reunion to coincide with the release of an upcoming compilation album. However, it doesn’t appear that Davies’
brother Dave is too keen on the prospects of a reunion.
Dave says a reunion would be a disaster. “It would be like a poor remake of ‘Night of the Livin Dead’….. There is nothing wrong with the old songs or new songs that we have both been writing on our own; but not more torture Please. no more Hannabal lectur.aah!?the swan song Ray and Dave tour should be called the Kinks are ‘The Fractured Mindz preservation Society’. ?’Preserve in Peace.’”
If anything were to happen, Dave says it would be for the fans, not for Ray. “I wouldn’t mind or rather consider doing some shows with Ray purely in respect for the Great body of work we have both been fortunate to have been involved in over the years. And for the fans of course,” he said.
More from the Rolling Stone. Ray and Dave Davies had a rather turbulent relationship throughout the existence of the band. There had been some speculation among fans that a Kinks reunion could finds it way to Coachella. They did find their way into Juno.
