Music History: The Small Faces

By Jack Brummet, Music History Editor 

Small Faces were leaders of the Mod (and later psychedelic) movement '65-'69, and were heroes of the Britpop movement in the '90s.  There are a lot of interesting tendrils in and out of the band.  After they busted up, three of them joined Ronnie Wood and Rod Stewart (both from the Jeff Beck band) to form Faces.   Lead singer Steve Marriott--an amazing vocalist--formed formed Humble Pie with Peter Frampton (who, after Humble Pie, went solo and released one of the best selling rock albums of all time).  After Faces, Ronnie Wood joined the Rolling Stones, and Rod Stewart left serious rock behind to become, well, whatever you call what he does now.
