Ray Davies says "I am not dead yet."

According to the Daily Mail, classic rock gods The Kinks will have a reunion tour. Lead singer and guitarist Ray Davies said the band’s original members, which included Davies’ brother Dave on guitar, Mick Avory on drums and Pete Quaife on bass plan to play together for the first time in nearly four decades in 2008.

I guess the money being pulled from recent geezer reunion concerts (Led Zeppelin, Cream, Rolling Stones) is too great to pass up. Like most fine wine, the Ray Davies back catalog of hits has gotten better with age and gained even more fans since they split up the band in the mid 90’s. And a new Kinks anthology will be released with the tour.

As for other reunions, the Zombies are planned for March 8, 2008 – Details Here. Sorry Paul, no Wings reunion for you, but you can always “Get high with a little help from your friends.”
