Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Kinks were banned from performing in the US from 1965-1969 after a chaotic tour involving on-stage fights, missed shows, and alleged union disputes—while peers conquered America, they retreated to English pastoralism.
Davies' 'Village Green Preservation Society' flopped commercially in 1968 but became his defining statement—proof that immediate failure sometimes sculpts legacy better than contemporaneous success.
