New Mullet on Monday - The Kinks
Yes, even the very cool Ray Davies had a mullet...
Here is a TV performance of Destroyer, from the 1981 album Give the People What they Want.
Ray Davies has been particularly busy in the last several years, releasing two albums, Other People's Lives, and Working Man's Café. This summer's tour has taken him from the UK to North America. Next on the agenda: The Notodden blues festival in Norway.
The Kinks' founding guitarist, Dave Davies, has also pursued a solo career, but was sidelined by a stroke in the summer of 2004. By 2006, he is said to have regained the ability to walk, talk, and play guitar. Last year, Dave Davies released an album of new material, Fractured Mindz, and a live recording of a 1997 show, Belly Up, is set for release next month. A DVD series chronicling his life, entitled Mystical Journey, has also been in production, part of which is due out this summer.
Of course, there were other musicians in The Kinks, but with a collective career spanning 30 years and alternating band members, it would take more time than I have to give updates on all of them. Each member does have an entry in the Wikipedia, all of which can be linked to from The Kinks Wikipedia entry.
