RAY DAVIES: PLANS FOR KINKS REUNION
Story Image“I really hate being a solo artist. But there’s no other way to get my songs sung.
"I know I wrote a lot of the stuff but they were my muse"
“And I’ve got a really clever idea for us. I’m not going to tell him what it is yet, until he says he’ll do it. I have an instinct inside me of what’s right for the next record and I know I can plan a great project – as long as they’ll do as I ask!”

Dave Davies to Harp magazine about a The Kinks reunion:
Part of me thinks it would be really cool
"To the never-ending barrage of questions about a Kinks reunion, he replies, almost matter-of-factly, “Part of me thinks it would be really cool if it was done for the right reasons. But I feel I want to keep moving in the direction I’m going. If it means the Kinks can do something as well, that’s fine.”

Dave Davies Message Board:

There are no immediate plans for me and Ray to play together as the Kinks just yet.

We have discussed this at length. There are several  business and personal issues to take into consideration before this would be at all possible. I have not played on any of Rays new stuff. Neither has he performed on my latest CD  'Fractured Mindz' or any of my solo work. I am busy promoting and working on my own projects at the moment and If there are any plans to do Kinks shows in the future be assured that Me and Ray would be the first to know before any speculative or misinformed well wisher or self-promoting drunk for that matter.

Sometimes some of the references and crap posted on this board lately fill me with 'dismay'. Fortunately I don't have the time to read it all. I am sure the majority of contributors are sincere and well meaning. But if you have nothing intelligent or caring or interesting to say except rant about meaningless garble, gossip or hear say then stay away. If the Kinks and our legacy means anything to you then show some respect for the artists and people who created it. If intellectual choas and emotional disorder and dysfunction fills your minds then you are all well suited for the funny farm but I won't be joining you. I have far more important things to do with my Life as indeed you should ALL have. A few of you out there and you know who you are really should now grow up. Have fun but also please have some common sense and common decency.

Let Peace, Love and health be with you all.
Love
Dave Davies

Ray Davies:
"I don't know at this point if we're going to play again."

In an interview 10 September 2004 in the independent.co.uk Ray Davies get this question from Ian Birrell: 

"So what of The Kinks, who last played together in June 1996 in Norway?"

Ray answers:
"They're dead. No, they can't be dead. I'm having to deal with them every day so they're still very much alive. I don't know at this point if we're going to play again. But we are all speaking and friendly." He adds that he is sifting through a cache of newly discovered tracks, which may be released soon."
