That's amazing news. I was just telling someone the other day how much Ray and
Dave hate each other
and will never get back together. I'm waiting with baited
breath.

Subject: [BritInvasion] The Kinks to Reform with Original Lineup!
Sixties stars The Kinks are on the verge of reforming
with their original line-up.
Lead singer and guitarist Ray Davies, 63, says a full
reunion is on the cards next year for the first time
in almost 40 years.
The band, whose hits include You Really Got Me and
Waterloo Sunset, consisted of Ray, brother Dave on
guitar, Mick Avory on drums and Pete Quaife on bass.
But Pete left in 1969 and they then continued with
changing line-ups until 1996.
Dave had a stroke in 2004 and Pete has kidney problems
- but Ray says both are keen to get back together.
He said: "I spoke to Quaife about a month ago and he
dearly wants to make another record with me.
"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." Ray, now a solo artist, told Record Collector
he missed being part of a band. He added: "You miss
the interactive stuff. You get it to a degree with
other musicians but probably not with the same
passion."
Any reunion is likely to coincide with next year's
release of a Kinks CD box set called Retrospective.
