A few months ago, there was some excellent news with a big announcement that The Kinks<\/strong> would be getting together<\/a> for a proper reunion after a 20 year hibernation!!<\/p>\n

We’re not sure of the full details, but it appears that a new album is in the works, and the band “will probably be playing the local bar.” <\/em><\/p>\n

In the meantime, I just spotted a new version of THE SONG by Ray Davies<\/strong> and a Kinks tribute band known as the “Kast Off Kinks<\/strong>,” which happened on Sunday, November 25th of this week.<\/p>\n

Here’s details of this event, included with the official description of the YouTube clip shared by Mystery FOX<\/a>, who shared some songs at their YouTube page:<\/p>\n

The Kinks Konvention is an event that celebrates the music of the Kinks. It takes place every year in november at around the same date in a pub called The Boston Arms situated right in front of Tufnell Park Underground station in North London. <\/p>\n

The Kast Off Kinks is a band playing Kinks songs. It comprises Dave Clarke<\/strong> on main vocals, rhythm and lead guitar and illustrious ex-Kinks members such as Mick Avory<\/strong> on drums, John Dalton<\/strong> on bass and Ian Gibbons<\/strong> on keyboards. <\/p>\n

Over the years, it has become a ritual for Ray Davies to make an appearance on stage at the end of the set to perform “You Really Got Me”. <\/p>\n

This year, Ray came back on stage to sing a second song: The Kingsmen’s “Louie Louie” that The KinKs used to perform in 1965.<\/p>\n

God Save The Kinks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
