- Dec 29, 2007
AceShowbiz - The Kinks' frontman, Ray Davies, spoke to Mirror.co.uk earlier this week, saying the British rock act may be reuniting in 2008 with its original line-up all aboard.
The reunion, which will be the first in 40 years, will include Ray's guitarist brother Dave who had recovered from 2004 stroke, bassist Pete Quaife who left the band in 1969 and drummer Mick Avory. "I spoke to Quaife about a month ago and he dearly wants to make another record with me," Ray said. "I think Dave's getting better and Mick's still playing. It would be great to get back together just to see what musical ideas we had and what would happen."
After Pete left, the band continued to perform with different line-ups until 1996. Ray later on proceed with solo career but he revealed the longing of being in a band. "You miss the interactive stuff. You get it to a degree with other musicians but probably not with the same passion," he said.
Ray made sure that the reunion, which may coincide with the release of their CD box titled 'Retrospective', will be tagged with new materials from the band.
