The Kinx

Some Details...

THE KINX
… the ultimate Kinks tribute band!

Set the scene.

Late 1950’s, early 60’s. Short back and sides; sober clothes; strict moral codes then FIREWORKS!!!!.

A musical culture revolution happened led by up and coming bands destined to front the world-wide “british music invasion”. Society would never be the same again and is transformed. Long hair, short skirts, free sex and love!!!!!

The big 4 leaders were the Beatles, Stones, Who and Kinks and their music became the iconic sound of the 60’s.

Of the “big 4” all but The Kinks made it in America. The Kinks were considered so outrageous they were unceremoniously kicked out and banned from America for being perverts. Too many “on stage” brawls, suspect lyrics, excessive drinking and substance abuse, dubious “campness” and innuendo. Much too “overboard” for the sensitivities of the average American.

Ray Davis although still the most banned musician on the BBC is now welcomed with open arms in the USA.

THE KINX reproduce those “fab” 60’s masterpieces as they were performed during that magic time. The songs are as relevant today as they were then. And listen carefully to contemporary music and you can pick out those Ray Davis Kinks snippets everywhere.

With THE KINX expect authentic sound through authentic instruments and amplification and hopefully that authentic 1960’s “you’ve never had it so good” feelgood happening.

Wow!, just FAB, just FAR OUT!!!!................gear man.
