Locksley To Play The Role Of The Kinks



They’ve spent the past few weeks getting out the vote with MTV’s infamous Choose or Loose campaign, but Brooklyn’s Locksley might be the only band in the Country with bigger news than today’s election. Leading us to ask, who the hell is Locksley sleeping with?


Announced earlier today, Locksley will be touring with former Kinks front man and rock pioneer Ray Davies on his upcoming 12-city U.S. tour. The tour kicks off in Tampa, Florida on November 28 and not only will they be the main support for Davies, but they will also be filling the role of his band while he performs classic Kinks hits. In a recent interview, Locksley told Buzznet.com that the opportunity to play with Davies is “beyond anything any of us could have imagined.”
