The Ravens

"In October 1963, the Boo-Weevils gave themselves a new name. Until the middle or end of January 1964, the band was called "The Ravens," and under this name, the then-current members of the band, Dave Davies, Ray Davies, Pete Quaife, and Mickey Willett, recorded their first songs in the studio." (from Kinks.de)
The fabulous Garage Hangover presents three of the Ravens recordings and tells us: "Calling themselves the Ravens and led by Dave Davies instead of his brother Ray, this early incarnation of the Kinks recorded several demos. Who exactly was in the band or writing songs at this point is still a mystery, but these have more than just historical value."
