In the latter half of the 1960s, the group was constantly evolving, when Ray’s songwriting talents developed and he took over the reins of this group into a fresh direction. The group decided to abandon the typical blues/R&B style and adopted more of a nostalgic, contemplative style as evident on songs like “Autumn Almanac” and “Waterloo Sunset” and along with their albums, like Something Else by the Kinks and The Village Green Preservation Society.
Davies created the Kinks along with Pete Quaife in 1963. The band’s brother Ray Davies, who later became the most famous band member and the de facto leader of the group, joined shortly afterward. The group was formed when the drummer Mick Avory joined. Dave Davies had a turbulent relationship with Avory and was among the reasons for his exile from the band in the late 1980s, despite the fact that they were living together since the mid-1960s.
The Kinks released three albums and several EPs in the next two years. They also performed and toured relentlessly, headlining package tours with the likes of The Yardbirds and The Mickey Finn, which caused tension within the band. Some legendary on-stage fights erupted during this time as well. The most notorious incident was at the Capitol Theatre in Cardiff in May 1965, involving drummer Mick Avory and Dave Davies. The fight broke out during the second number of the set, “Beautiful Delilah”. It culminated with Davies insulting Avory and kicking over his drum set after finishing the first song, “You Really Got Me”. Avory responded by knocking down Davies with his hi-hat stand, rendering him unconscious. He then fled from the scene and Davies was taken to Cardiff Royal Infirmary, where he received 16 stitches to the head. Avory later claimed that it was part of a new act in which the band members would hurl their instruments at each other.
