Nick Hasted's “illuminating” (Guardian) biography of The Kinks draws on years of in-depth interviews with the band’s creative siblings, Ray and Dave Davies, as well as new ones conducted especially for this book. Also interviewed are Mick Avory, Chrissie Hynde, Tom Robinson, Julien Temple and Wim Wenders. New light is thrown on a turbulent 30-year career scarred by suicide attempts, on-stage fights, recurring mental breakdowns and a refusal to live by anyone else’s rules. Explored in detail are: • Why The Kinks became the only Sixties British band to be banned from America at the height of their success. • The real reason behind original bassist Pete Quaife quitting the group in 1968. • Ray Davies’ fraught relationship with Chrissie Hynde. • The origins of the mythic Village Green celebrated in The Kinks’ classic 1968 album. • The Kinks’ later years which rehabilitated their reputation in America. Now updated to include details of the hit musical Sunny Afternoon .
