since they are reuniting with the original lineup, what do you guys think about them having a spot?

I wonder how they sound now? Not sure that they could headline, but second tier on the main stage sounds about right.

Sushov23 · 12-27-2007, 06:03 PM

I would love to see them play, not just at Coachella, but to see them in general.

thelastgreatman · 12-27-2007, 06:16 PM

Holy shit, this is a MUST. If you don't know how much The Kinks are better than practically everyone, fuck you.

Neutral Milk Hotel · 12-27-2007, 06:22 PM

The Kinks are one of the most underrated bands of all time.

Hey, I grew up with their music, and I'd be very happy to see them.

There is a pretty good Wikipedia article on them--evidently they were banned in the US for some time, and that's why they were not as popular as the Beatles and the Who.

I wonder if the younger generation really knows who they are.

sadly, i am pretty sure the younger gens dont have a clue.

MILOC · 12-27-2007, 07:15 PM

saw them in 1981 on the "give the people what they want" tour! great album ! awesome band! very underrated. they should play coachella and show the younger gen what a real band with history is all about!!!

shakermaker113 · 12-27-2007, 07:38 PM

woah. didn't see that one coming.

but dear lord, davies is 63?!? fuck me. he'd be the oldest person to ever play coachella, no?

Botrocker · 12-27-2007, 07:52 PM

That would be too fucking sweet!

Somewhat Damaged · 12-27-2007, 07:53 PM

This would be fucking awesome and they would deserve a dusk slot on the main stage (maybe the same time Jesus and Mary Chain played this year). Behind the Beatles, the Kinks are my favorite British Invasion band. I found a 2-disc version of The Village Green Preservation Society the other day and even though I already have the CD, I'm going to go pick it up after I get paid tomorrow. Oh yeah, and I saw Ray Davies when he toured last year and he had a lot of energy. He would've been 61-62 at the time but he didn't perform like it.

drowningmatt · 12-27-2007, 09:05 PM

This must happen!!!!

thelastgreatman · 12-27-2007, 09:08 PM

DANI!!! DON'T LET PAUL FUCK THIS UP, ALRIGHT?!!!

WE WANT KINKS!

Hannahrain · 12-27-2007, 09:12 PM

I was born in 87 and I love the kinks.. one of my favorite older bands! PLEASE PLAY COACHELLA!

thelastgreatman · 12-27-2007, 09:23 PM

I don't mean to speak for everyone else in the thread, but...

If you don't support this reunion at Coachella one of us will gladly rape everything you love to death.

Boourns · 12-27-2007, 09:28 PM

Wow, that's big news. Wonder if they'll do Coachella or Bonnaroo. A lot of reunion tours going down next year, yes? The Verve, Portishead (might as well be a reunion), Led Zeppelin (I'm sure), My Bloody Valentine, Swervedriver, The Breeders, and now The Kinks? Insanity.

God, goldenvoice should just have Friday be a one-stage day of Reunionchella with The Kinks, MBV, The Verve, The Breeders, Swervedriver. That would be amazing.

But I'll catch them even if they don't play Coachella, but here's hoping.

That would go to Willie Nelson at the age of 72, but seriously folks fuck My Bloody Valentine give me the fucking Kinks. Fuck the Verve too.

kitt kat · 12-27-2007, 11:16 PM

OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD THIS HAS TO HAPPEN.

Lola vs. Powerman and the Moneygoround is one of my favorite albums of all time. ZOMGGG.....

I'd be totally, totally, totally 100% down for this. Especially if they play "Powerman"...or "The Village Green Preservation Society"...or "Dedicated Follower of Fashion"...or just their whole damn catelouge...

Wellllll, not EVERYTHING, but you get my drift.

nocigarettes · 12-28-2007, 01:46 AM

"You Really Got Me"

it's funny cause my grandparents would always sing that to each other when i was younger and i never knew where it was from

brando4n82 · 12-28-2007, 08:55 AM

wow. this is some big news.

It makes complete and perfect sense for The Kinks to Headline any of thoe three days. they are definately headliner material.

If GV lets this one slip through their fingers, I will be speechless.

also if not, they better have some damn good headliners to make up for it, but shit, get The Kinks!!!!!

Somewhat Damaged · 12-28-2007, 09:37 AM

"Waterloo Sunset" played while the sun sets over the Polo Fields = heaven.

I don't think The Kinks are big enough for a headliner slot. Probably the Jesus and Mary Chain slot though. Man it would be great to see them.

If I were Suprefan, I would direct you to my first post in this thread and say something douchey.

Memorial_07 · 12-28-2007, 10:42 AM

The Kinks might be too classic rock sounding to play...
but I'm for them
I think it would be kind of refreshing to have them play
