The Kinks were a British rock group that came out of the British R&B/Mod scene of the early 1960s.

Formed in 1963 in London, UK, they first gained prominence on the heels of the well-received and highly influential single “You Really Got Me” (1964). The group originally consisted of lead singer/guitarist Ray Davies, his brother lead guitarist Dave Davies, drummer Mick Avory and bassist Peter Quaife. Quaife left (twice) in the late 1960’s, and Avory finally left due to a long-running dispute with Dave Davies, leaving only the Davies brothers as the core of the original group.

With Ray’s splendid songwriting skills and ‘mockney’ vocals, Dave’s impressive guitar work and Avory’s tight and steady drumming, the band became one of the best and most influential groups of British rock and the “British Invasion” of America, lasting longer than any of their competitors, apart from The Rolling Stones, as they broke up in 1996. The Kinks are considered the world’s first Hard Rock band. Their impressive back catalogue of songs have been covered by The Pretenders, The Black Keys and Queens of The Stone Age to name but a few.
