Locksley Backs Up Ray Davies

Brooklyn garage-pop band picked to open Kinks singer's 12-date U.S. tour-and back him up, too.

By Blurt Staff

Brooklyn's Locksley, a band that bears many similarities to the Kinks, has been tapped to open Kinks singer Ray Davies' 12-city U.S. tour in November and December. In must be a deliriously good turn of events for the baby band, but there's more to it: They get to back Davies up, too.

Locksley (visit them on MySpace) is currently headlining MTV's national Choose or Lose tour, which wraps tonight in Vienna, VA. After an in-store performance Nov. 8 at Vintage Vinyl in Woodbridge, NJ, Locksley will take a few weeks off before joining Davies in Tampa, FLA on Nov. 28. Tour dates are below.
