Kinks, Animals -

[Dolamon]

I just picked up Mando Mafia's Get Away (http://www.midcontinentmusic.com/detail.cfm?Catalogid=1941)Album and got knocked over by their version of 'Apeman'.

Fun stuff and really nice playing on any mando family instruments. I found this site of Kinks Tunes - (http://kinks.it.rit.edu/chords.html)(316 of them) but wonder if there is a better, more comprehensive collection of the music written out? I realize this is pretty simplistic stuff but - it really rocks on a Mandola or Octave ...

Any ideas?

I've been doing "dead end street + Misfits " for a long time but never tried any mando on them ?? thanks for the site , I bookmarked it .

Digging up an old thread...

Last night my guitar playing buddy got me to play the rhythm for "You Really Got Me". Mostly just barring the G & D strings sliding around and overdriving the pickup and to be honest it didn't sound much different than a guitar, but it was big fun!

The track "To the Bone" works amazingly well on octave mandolin (capo'ed 2). I love the Kinks!

anyone ever try "apeman" i just love that tune! nice funky beat the whole way might be cool for a mando. anyone play calypso-if so, this song should be a breeze!

I love "Celluloid Heroes". It the piano fills that make.

If you've never listened to "The Kinks Present a Soap Opera" album, check it out. One of thier more creative (and funny) works. No hits on it so it's not something you'd ever hear on most radio stations.
