The Kinks – Celluloid Heroes
I don’t blog about music very often, but I just came across this great nugget.
The Kinks are planning to follow in the footsteps of rockers Led Zeppelin with a highly anticipated reunion next year.
Lead singer and guitarist Ray Davies said the band’s original members, which included Davies’ brother Dave on guitar, Mick Avory on drums and Pete Quaife on bass plan to play together for the first time in nearly four decades in 2008.
Davies, 63, said a full reunion is on the cards next year for the first time in almost 40 years.
One of the first albums I’ve ever loved was Lola vs. Powerman. I had every word of that album memorized. Probably still do.
one of the members of Modern Musics’ all time pantheon of Greats…it just doesn’t get any better..only different…
and as Pete Townsend pointed out, Ray Davies is Britains’ Poet Laurete.
Muswell Hillbillies is right there in my Desert Island selections..
and Celluloid Heroes as one of the most beautiful singles of the 20th century.
Long live the Village Green, and the Kinks!
Do you happen to know if there will be a tour, well I can imagine there will be a Euro tour but any hope for a US tour?
