The Kinks!!!!
Blimey!
It looks like British mod rockers The Kinks might be reuniting for a tour in the new year!
According to The Daily Mail the band's original lineup is set to tour together for the first time in 40 years.
Just about everyone will know the Kinks for "You Really Got Me" and "All Day and All of the Night" (and "Picture Book" from that great commercial -- oh, and "Nothin' In The World Can Stop Me Worryin' 'Bout That Girl" from the Rushmore soundtrack). Hardcore music snobs will try to deny the gloriousness of those tracks and tell you that you've really got to listen to The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society.
It's all good stuff.
I'm glad to hear the Davies Brothers (who were feuding before Oasis' Gallagher Brothers were drinking sour mash whiskey out of sippy cups) seem to be pulling it together to perform again.
Let's hope their reunion is more Led Zeppelin (who by all accounts rocked earlier this month for the first time in decades) than The Police (who by all accounts sort of forgot how to do their thing until the very of their top-grossing tour).

Joe,
This is cool! I've been a Kinks fan longer than you've been alive!

I guess I haven't been alive all that wrong, relatively speaking --- somedays it just FEELS like a long time.
