Dave Davies is most famous for being the guy who cut up his amplifier speakers to create the distorted sound of “You Really Got Me,” the guy who wrote “Living On A Thin Line” and being the lead guitar player in the Kinks. Dave has long lived under the shadow of his brother, Kinks front man and chief songwriter, Ray Davies. The pair have had decades long feuds and are almost as famous for their arguments as they are their music.

Dave has suffered health issues, including a life-threatening stroke that saw him teaching himself how to play music again. During this rediscovery process Dave, in his sixties, has uncovered a newfound creativity that is reflected in the emotional new release The Aschere Project. Dave, along with son, Russ, have created a sci-fi, electronica, freaky-deaky musical passageway through the cosmos, telling a story of how love can conquer all, including being at opposite ends of the universe.

Don’t expect the teenaged angst of “You Really Got Me” or the tongue-in-cheek humor of “Lola,” however, as Davies and Son have created a surreal landscape of sounds and voice that will put you in a meditative trance and challenge your psychic senses.
