English rock group the Kinks in June 1965. Left to right: Ray Davies, Dave Davies, Mick Avory and Pete Quaife. This photograph appeared in the July 24, 1965, issue of KRLA Beat magazine. The first line of the story states that the piece's interview took place in the band's Los Angeles hotel room. The third paragraph indicates that the photograph and interview were on 27 June: "The mischeivous [sic] quartet had sneaked into L.A. on June 26 ... the BEAT photographer ... waited patiently to greet them at the airport the following day." The image's caption reads that "The four took time out from their first afternoon in California to pose for the BEAT photographer". Doug Hinman's 2004 book The Kinks: All Day and All of the Night indicates that the band arrived in L.A. on the night of June 26, had the following day off, and that June 28, 1965 "was devoted to press functions." (p. 59).
