Why where the kinks banned in the usa?"While the facts are still murkey at best, it appears that the Kinks played at, or were scheduled to appear at, a non-union approved event in America around 1966. By non-union event, I mean an event using non-union members to perform union functions (lighting, staging, etc.) This caused them to be put on a "non-approved" performance list in America for around three years.

In reading the story of the Kinks on your website, you need to know that the Kinks were not "banned" by America, but rather "delisted" by promoters in America, not the government itself.
