The band took their name from a Byrds song "8 Miles High" that contains the line "in places, Small Faces", and because it was allegedly Cockney rhyming slang for drying laundry. They were signed to Decca records because since missing out on signing up The Beatles, Decca gave everyone (except Freddie Lennon) a recording contract. They were put into the studio after just three weeks of existance and given a song called "Whatcha Gonna Do About It". The rest was history and you can buy the new DVD to hear the rest because my fingers hurt from typing.

  • The Small Faces fue un grupo musical británico de la década de 1970, liderado por el guitarrista y cantante Steve Marriott, en el bajo Ronnie Lane, al órgano Ian McLagan, y el percusionista, Kenney Jones. Se convirtieron en uno de los grupos psicodélicos más exitosos de Inglaterra antes de su ruptura a finales de la década de 1970.

  • A British mod group that started up in London back in 1965, the Small Faces were Steve Marriott (lead guitar, lead vocal), Ronnie Lane (bass guitar), Ian McLagan (organ, piano) and Kenney Jones (drums). Their sound was rooted in American R&B, Blues and Soul music and overall they sounded not dissimilar to The Who. Indeed, if any band was ever "number two to the Who" in the mod scene, it would be this one. Like The Beatles and The Who, a major influence on the late seventies/early eighties Mod Revival and the Britpop genre in The Nineties.

Their sound was rooted in American R&B, Blues and Soul music and overall they sounded not dissimilar to The Who. Indeed, if any band was ever "number two to the Who" in the mod scene, it would be this one. With the Concept Album Ogden's Nut Gone Flake, the band introduced psychedelic elements to their music, resulting in their most memorable song and biggest American hit, "Itchycoo Park". However, their success didn't last, and the band disbanded in 1969, and Lane, Jones and McLagan joined up with Ron Wood and Rod Stewart of the Jeff Beck Group to form a new combo called Faces, while Steve Marriott teamed up with future superstar Peter Frampton in Humble Pie. Both groups became successful in The Seventies and are now counted as important innovators in the Blues Rock genre. Like The Beatles and The Who, a major influence on the late seventies/early eighties Mod Revival and the Britpop genre in The Nineties.
