The Kinks’ Dave Davies Dismisses Reunion Rumors, But Says He’s Working on “Other Stuff” With Ray

This weekend The Sun reported that Kinks founding member Ray Davies said of his brother, “Dave and I will definitely work together again. And we want to play live. Maybe The Kinks could play Glastonbury?”

As talk of a Kinks reunion took off, Dave quickly contradicted this claim in a Facebook post, saying that he hasn’t talked to Ray about reuniting the band “at all.” However, they are trying to work on “OTHER STUFF,” whatever that means:

ME AND RAY have not spoken about Kinks showS at all- although weRE TRYING TO WORK TOGETHER ON OTHER STUFF and have worked on music together . In the meantime we both have albums finished. My album Open Road I did with my son Russ comes out in 2017! – Dave

The brothers’ long-standing feud has eased in recent years; they even worked on some new music together in 2014. So maybe the “stuff” in the works isn’t a Kinks reunion, per se, but a collaboration between the brothers in a different style, or at least without the other surviving members of the band. We’ll have to wait and see.
