Nov 21, 2011, 11:44am BrooklynVegan

photos by Dana (distortion) Yavin Ray Davies & choir @ The Wellmont Theater 67-year-old Davies brought out 46 members of the Dessoff Choir in the second half of his concert at the Wellmont. Davies started the evening with an acoustic guitar before adding a rock band and then the choir, in a two-and-a-half-hour performance that covered most of his musical career (although with only a five-second snippet of The Kinks hit, "Lola").

This Weekend's XPN Welcomes: Bell X1 at Johnny Brenda's, Ray Davies at Temple, Drive-By Truckers + more

Photo of Ray Davies compliments of the artist Here are this weekend's XPN Welcomes concerts. FRIDAY NOVEMBER 18 Bell X1 is Ireland's best barely-kept secret. The group, originally known as Juniper, used to feature Damien Rice as its lead singer; unfortunately, it's still often recognized for that fact, rather than for its Talking Heads- and Flaming Lips-inspired fusion of rock and electronic music. Bell X1 is a sensation in Ireland, nominated for Best Irish Band at the Meteor Music Awards three different times. It was also nominated [...]

Review of Dan Mangan's Oh Fortune

Sep 28, 2011, 8:36am Chromewaves

Jonathan Taggart As one of the most social media-savvy musicians in the country, it's not unreasonable to say that Dan Mangan reads his own press and so he's probably seen the phrases "everyman", "coffee shop", "roots-rock" and variants thereof in regards to his breakout 2009 record Nice, Nice, Very Nice many, many times. And while these descriptors were usually meant in most complimentary ways - one does't make the Polaris shortlist on the back of negative press - his just-released follow-up Oh Fortune [...]

Tour Dates: See Ray Play

Sep 13, 2011, 10:58am Hidden Track

We keep our eyes peeled for new tour dates announcements each week and compile them on Tuesdays for this handy column… Despite some recent rumblings that the Davies brothers met earlier this year to talk about a potential Kinks reunion, it was nothing more than a definitive statement of both being open to the idea. As fans of the iconic and influential band continue to keep hope alive, the band's former front man, Ray Davies , has revealed a slew of new tour dates in support of his most recent studio album See My Friends [...]

Gordon in the morning: man dresses casually

Sep 8, 2011, 3:30am No Rock And Roll Fun

Oh, the horror. Gordon publishes photos today of Ray Davies which might shock you . KINKS star Ray Davies looks a long way from his Sixties heyday — wearing jogging bottoms that are too short and white socks. Perhaps if the shitty London Media pap who took the long lens shot of him had called him in advance and warned him that he was going to be photographed for no apparent reason in the street, he might have worn a suit. Or perhaps he might have thought "I'm having a quiet day off, going for coffee, why [...]

Ray Davies:

Aug 29, 2011, 12:15pm Prefixmag.com

We previously heard from Kinks frontman Ray Davies last month when he appeared on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon to push his latest solo effort, See My Friends . He ripped up the stage with the 88, who helped him deliver a riveting take on "'Till the End of the Day." And today, more than one month later, Davies has revealed that he will be hitting the road this fall for a tour of the U.S. The only thing is, he's apparently only announced the first leg of his jaunt, so expect more dates in [...]

Ray Davies announces first leg of fall tour

Aug 29, 2011, 10:30am Consequence Of Sound

There's been a good deal of back and forth about a Kinks reunion, and the last we've really seen from the band was a string of reissues earlier this summer. That seems to be all we'll get from them, too, as frontman Ray Davies just revealed what promises to be his "first set" of U.S. solo tour dates for the fall. Davies will head out the night before Halloween to take part in New Orleans' Voodoo Experience just prior to stretching his legs on the road. November [...]
