Gogo boots, Gretsch guitars and and Dave Davies' Dippity Do.
Four likely lads who have devoured the musings of all things Davies, Quaife & Avory and thusly regurgitate said musical works in the style of their forebears. Reverently touching on all eras of the Muswell Hill foursome (or fivesome), The Kinksmen are all veterans of the beat-pop teen combo scene and therefore can mimic the styles of other beat squads such as The Fourmost, The Pacemakers, The Searchers and others, but prefer to only touch upon the output of the ensemble formerly known as The Ravens.
Through their very hip-shaking performances, The Kinksmen will transport you to a place known only to the hippest few as KINKDOM.
Kinkdom is a land populated exclusively by moderns who wear shoulder-length hair which droops, boots, guitars who twang, and baby doll eyes which turn you on and on and on. Inhabitants of this land have to go dancing every night except Monday. Mondays they are all busy repairing their discotheques. The national heroes of this land are named Pete, Ray, Mick, and Dave. This land's national anthems are played by this very thumping, very thousand watt combo. It is a land entirely free from waltzes, acne, grinds, anemia, eggplant, curfews, alarm clocks, violins, loneliness, diets, make-up exams, squares, callouses, and losers. It is a land so wild, so fantastic, so far out that about it even Rand is scared to tell McNally.
