Ray and Dave Davies have revealed that they've been in the studio recording together.
Disbanding The Kinks back in 1996 partly due to creative tension between the pair, guitarist Dave has recently said a reunion show would only focus on his singer brother, but Ray "doesn't understand" those worries.
Speaking to Rolling Stone magazine Ray explained: "I don't understand what that's about. If we do a Kinks show, we're the Kinks. Ray stands on the right of the stage and Dave stands on the left.
"Look, my brother is very intelligent. He's a good writer. We actually put down a few demos last Christmas. He came to see me, and he played me a couple of new songs."
Asked if there's a chance of the tour he admitted it'd be difficult because he's working with The Kinks' former drummer Mick Avory, who also isn't friendly with Dave.
"I can't think that far forward. Over the years, I've been doing a few new tracks with Mick, our original drummer. You know about the war between Dave and Mick.
"I don't work for the United Nations. I'm just a musician. I had a drink with Mick last week, and I asked, 'What happened to you guys?'
"They shared a house in the 1960s. I think some things went on there that created a rivalry."
