 | | Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit | | | Dave alternates between electric and acoustic guitar, rarely soloing, and sets up textures that could resemble pre-productionpre-production tapes from any moment in the Kinks' history. | | | His desired spots in the limelight have come a whopping twice in the band's 33-year history --- on the hit "Death of a Clown" and crowd favefave "I'm Not Like Everyone Else" --- and his three solo albums have done little beyond showing him the way back into the band. |

| | Dave Davies - definition of Dave Davies in Encyclopedia |
| | David Russell Gordon Davies (born February 3, 1947) was a singer and guitarist with the British rock band The Kinks, which he founded with Pete Quaife in 1963. | | | Although never attaining the fame and reputation of his older brother, who wrote and sang lead on most of the Kinks' songs, Dave Davies wrote some hits himself (notably "Death of a Clown" and "Living on a Thin Line"), and his unusual, high-pitched voice was a vital part of the Kinks' sound. | | | (His brother Ray, who became the best-known member of the band, joined soon after.) Although the group has been all but disbanded since the early 1990s, Davies continues to have a steady musical career as a performer and songwriter. |

| | Dave Davies Haus |
| | In 1967 Dave set about recording a solo album which did not see the light of day until almost 20 years later when parts were released as The Album That Never Was in 1988. | | | Interestingly, while the elder Davies did not release a solo record until 1998, Dave had a UK number 3 hit with "Death Of A Clown" in 1967 and followed it with a Top 20 placing, "Susannah's Still Alive'. | | | Both songs were lyrically strong; the former ranks with the best of the Kinks work, the latter was a clever tale of a frustrated spinster. |

| | Davies held off doing a solo album till 1980. | | | Because he was the lead singer and main songwriter, Ray Davies understandably was the group's frontman. | | | His guitar and lyrical contributions and solo work finally are highlighted in a sweeping, overdue compilation, "Unfinished Business: Dave Davies Kronikles, 1963/1998" (Velvel/Meta Media), released Jan. 12. |

| | AMZ - February, 1999 - Dave Davies |
| | Half of the second disc’s tracks are taken from Dave’s three solo albums, all released in the early 80s. | | | The two sides of Dave's musical output come together in "Unfinished Business," a 2-disc set featuring the best of the Kinks on one CD, and a second disc showcasing the best moments of his own solo career. | | | Led by brothers Ray and Dave Davies, and a raucous, nasty guitar tone as epitomized by the song "You Really Got Me," the Kinks never quite hit as big in the United States as in Europe. |

| | clevescene.com Nightwatch Dave Davies 2003-04-30 |
| | Davies, 56, was a mere 17 when he set the rock-and-roll world on its ear with his chunky, distorted riffs that, while borrowing from such 1950s axe legends as Big Bill Broonzy and Eddie Cochran, still sounded like nothing anyone had ever heard, making the Kinks one of the more popular British Invasion bands. | | | Bug is the latest disc from the lead guitarist of the Kinks, a band that seems to be on semipermanent hiatus, despite a still rabid fan base. | | | Ray might have brought the biting social commentary to the band, but Dave was the guy who made the Kinks rock. |

| | HitSession Review: Dave Davies, Supersuckers |
| | Dave's own solo albums proved that he could front a band on his own. | | | But Dave was responsible for some of the Kink's most memorable guitar riffs ("You Really Got Me," "All Day and All of the Night,") and also provided excellent backup singing for the band. | | | Dave's singing is solid, yet his range is quite a bit broader than Ray's. |

| | Davies also became embroiled in legal battles over the rights to his songs, which he'd naively signed away as a fledgling musician. | | | The episode led to a drug overdose and an emotional breakdown, which caused Davies to announce from a concert stage that he was retiring from music for good. | | | The band's terrific (and underrated) 1971 LP "Muswell Hillbillies" was a backwater-blues record of sorts, a work that sounded like Americana even as it mined evocative details of English urban life. |

| | Dave Davies @ Bravo FAQ |
| | Dave has taken to calling the band, which he originally put together for an End Hunger Network concert he did, The Ravens, in tribute to his early, pre-Kinks band of the same name. | | | The net effect is that Ray and Dave Davies have no control over the licensure of their early songs and that some of their best albums, such as Face to Face, have been unavailable in the U.S. for 30 years. | | | In fact, Dave’s son Christian assists Dave and helps operate his website, Dave recently recorded an album with son Russell, and Dave recorded part of his album Unfinished Business at son Simon’s recording studio in London. |

| | Music Review: Dave Davies - AFL1-3603 (Reissue) - The Good 5 Cent Cigar - Entertainment |
| | Unlike his past work where he was backed by the Kinks, Davies wrote all of the music, produced the album and plays all instruments on all but three tracks. | | | The title is a shot at the mass introduction of bar codes happening by the end of the 70's, and many of the songs have heavily political lyrics. | | | It's difficult to recommend it to Kinks fans without explaining that it sounds little like Davies' work with the band, but listeners should revel in the amazing solos and his vocal attack. |

| | Dave was always the rocker in the Kinks. | | | The younger Davies arguably invented heavy metal with his metallic, bar-chord-crunch guitar style and his brashness fueled the band's energetic live shows. | | | This lively 1997 club show reinforces those notions, as Dave plows through 27 songs with a pace worthy of the Ramones. |

| | REVIEW |
| | Dave's solo material bears the trademark of a guitarist who has blossomed into a skilled singer, songwriter and musician. | | | The new commercial retrospective is also the musical counterpart to Dave's tell-all autobiography "Kink." Both CDs and the book reflect Dave's desire to put his past in perspective and to also enter his important musical contributions onto the rock and roll historical record. | | | While primary singer and songwriter Ray Davies has garnered much of the praise for the Kinks' success, the centrality of Dave's straightforward fretwork, charged vocals and lively spirit cannot be dismissed. |

| | Dave Davies |
| | Throughout the Kinks&; 30-plus-year history, his ballsy guitar tone and strangled falsetto vocals were as necessary to the band as Ray& brooding class consciousness and unassailable melodies. | | | Anyone who’s seen Ray Davies’ solo "Storyteller" shows knows that they’re delightful and loaded with great songs from the Kinks leader. | | | There are also fine quieter moments, including "Tired of Waiting" (dedicated to Ray) and "Too Much on My Mind." Like his older brother, Davies has a tendency toward cheesy hard-rock-isms (see the silly sci-fi of "Psycho Lounge") and self-indulgence (there is no need for 27 tracks on this album). |

| | Kinks Alive! - Dave Davies Interview 4/30/97 |
| | Dave Davies - who brings a band of his own to the Galaxy in Santa Ana tonight - was one of rock's original bad boys, even though the Kinks never feigned a tough-guy-bluesmen act as did such first-string British Invasion contemporaries as the Rolling Stones and the Animals. | | | In the Kinks' heyday, guitarist Dave Davies seemed to be the band's barely contained, hard-rocking id, cast against his brother Ray's pop-philosopher superego. | | | (Though Dave and Ray are touring separately, and though the Kinks haven't released an album since "To The Bone" in 1994 (?), the band has not broken up and is planning a U.S. tour at the end of the year.) |

While we wait for another new Kinks record to come out, Bug hits the spot just fine. | | | Kinks guitarist Dave Davies steps out of the shadow of his famous brother with his latest solo outing. |
