Gunnar Frick
"After changing the name to the Psychotic Youth and recording a flexi disc for Jörgen's fanzite Straight from the grooveyard, multi-instrumentalist Gunnar Frick from Örnsköldsvik (yet another small town in the area) is brought in as an organ-player in the autumn of 1985." From The "Psychotic Youth" web-page.

Ray Davies really gets Orpheum crowd going
"There were only five people on stage during Ray Davies’ show at the Orpheum Tuesday night, but there were dozens of characters.
During an upbeat performance, the 61-year-old leader of the Kinks gave voice to cads, curmudgeons, crass tourists, clueless romantics, cocky rock stars and numerous others with stories to tell..............." |

Def Leppard plans tribute album to band's heroes
"Def Leppard's 12th release is a tribute to their favorite acts of the 1960s and 1970s, the performances that influenced them, such as the Kinks (notice that Ray Davies is EVERYWHERE these days), Badfinger, ELO, T. Rex, David Bowie, David Essex ("Rock On"), Sweet, Roxy Music, Mott the Hoople, Free, Faces ("Stay With Me") and Thin Lizzy." |

Washington Times: Review Ray's concert March 20, at "9:30 Club" |
link |
| |
| One particularly funny aside: Martin seemed in awe that Ray Davies would be playing the same stage on Monday. One would have been hard-pressed to find anyone in the crowd old enough to know who Ray Davies is, much less be a fan of The Kinks. DCist Contributor Matt Sedlar in a Matt Pond- review |

-"It's unbelievably irritating"
"For example, Ray Davies from The Kinks is coming soon, and we have no chance of getting inside", four music students complains to Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten - three of them are sixteen years old. You have to be18 years or more to get inside Rockefeller concerthall on Ray's concert, due to alcohol legislation. |

FIRST SOLO FLIGHT
- Had you flirted with the idea of a solo album before?
"It never really crossed my mind, because it's hard for me to think of myself as a solo artist."
link | |
New York Post 2:
"I still find it difficult to come to terms with it. I
liked being in the Kinks because my
brother did most of the work, and I could stand on one side and talk to girls."

Ray: "if the music feels right, I will."
MercuryNews.com reports from SXSW:
- "Davies said he will be touring with a full and hard rocking band, playing his newly released album "Other People's Lives." He has also been writing an album for a New Orleans high school marching band that he met when living in a house near the school."- |

Ray Plays in Nashville tonight:
“I live about a mile and a half from a place called Camden which has several markets,” Davies said. “There’s a great store in there that has lots of country music, the old country music. I love that stuff.” From an interview with The CityPaper, Nashville. |

Ray Plays in Nashville tonight:
"inspired by characters who live probably 100 yards near me." |
From local newspaper in Nashville, Tennessean.com, Ray comments on his local view. - "Whatever sonic disconnect folks might see there can be shored up by Davies' lyrical approach; much like those country greats, his lyrical focus is on storytelling, with a particular eye on the lives of regular folks.
Davies said all of his songs are "inspired by characters who live probably 100 yards near me."
"It's very localized. But it also picks up on that kind of wistful and ironic sort of facets of English culture. You know, English people are a little bit wistful and mundane, and I like the people that have little quirks in their lives and lower-achieving people. I think they're worth writing about." |
