The Kinks were an English rock band active from 1963 until 1996 with members including Ray Davies, Dave Davies, Mick Avory, Pete Quaife, John Dalton, John Gosling, Andy Pyle, Gordon Edwards, Jim Rodford, Ian Gibbons, Bob Henrit, and Mark Haley. Originally beginning as the Ray Davies Quartet with the Davies brothers, Quaife, and John Start. They started at a school dance, then moved onto playing clubs. Eventually the group changed to the name the Ramrods, although they also performed under a number of different monikers. They became the Ravens and successfully auditioned for some labels, earning a contract in 1964. They changed the name to The Kinks, and though no one agrees with how the name came about, it's the one that stayed. Over their career they released 28 albums, including their live albums. We might see more now though because it's been rumored over the lat couple of years that there could be a reunion of sorts. So I guess we'll wait and see.
Peace.
