The Kinks 50th anniversary is this year. That legendary British Invasion band’s 67-year-old former and possibly future lead guitarist Dave Davies tells Britain’s Independent that he and his older brother, Ray, with whom he had feuded for decades, recently got together in Ray’s living room and played together for the first time since the band called it quits in 1996.
Davies’ interview took place at the Clissold Arms Pub, site of the brother’s first public performance, in 1961. Dave plays his first British gig in 13 years in London Friday night at the rather intimate 1,943-seat Barbican.
Dave still has major problems with 69-year-old Ray.
“The older I get, the more difficult I find it to be around Ray.” he said. “I feel my energy seeping away from me sometimes if I’m with him, so I have to limit the time I spend with him.”
