Ray Davies says the other members of The Kinks are up for a reunion.

Davies  who has been advocating for a reunion for several years  has been talking more ardently about the possibility in recent weeks, and it seems that the other two surviving members, including his brother Dave, with whom he has had an acrimonious relationship, and drummer Mick Avory, are both on board.

 

He said last that a new album and some live shows were on the cards, and now says that the new songs that he has written “need to be aired”.

 

He told Sirius XM: “I’ve got all these great songs  I think they’re great  that need to be aired.

 

“There’s something about the chemistry of the Kinks  if I can get them on the right day, we can produce it. It will be down to the music  if we can make four or five tracks that we really feel are energised and in keeping with what we can do, I’ll consider it.”

If I can get Dave and Mick in the same room  I’ve spoken with them independently and they’re both on board spiritually, but whether they can handle it, I don’t know.”

Whether this comes to fruition is a differently than matter, but we’d be lying if we said we weren’t intrigued by the prospect.
