A Kinks reunion is as ‘close as it’s ever been to happening’, according to frontman Ray Davies.
In an interview with Uncut, Davies, his brother, Dave, and drummer Mick Avory have revealed that it’s looking more likely than ever before.
Ray Daves said:
“It’s as close as it’s ever been to happening."
Dave Davies, the band's guitarist, said:
"I said to Ray I thought that it’d be a great shame if we don’t try and do something. I don’t think our love has diminished. I think the stage-play has played itself out a bit, the pretence and the acting. I think it’s time reality took over, and started directing the last years of… whatever it is. It’s like Cain and Abel."
Avory added:
“I think it would be nice to do something all together. Because the chances are diminishing as we talk. Hopefully me, Dave and Ray can meet before it happens. We’d have to knock our heads together and rehearse, if we meant to do it properly. We haven’t played together for God knows how long."
Meanwhile, 'Sunny Afternoon', a musical featuring the music of Davies and a script by playwright Joe Penhall, opens at the Hampstead Theatre on April 18.
