They played a set that left the local mods wanting more. Despondent, they walked into the mod-orientated King Mojo Club nearby (then owned by Peter Stringfellow) and offered to perform for free.

Since the crowd was mainly made up of Teddy boys and hard-drinking workers, the band were paid off after three songs. Their first out-of-London concert was at a working men's club in Sheffield. Impressed, King began finding them work in London and beyond. Singer Elkie Brooks was struck by Marriott's vocal prowess and stage presence, and recommended them to a local club owner, Maurice King. Marriott's unique and powerful voice attracted rising attention. On US compilation albums the track is titled "Running Wild". "E too D", which appears on their first album, Small Faces, is named after the guitar chord structure. The band also performed two Marriott/Lane original compositions, a fast and loud "Come on Children" and the " speed enhanced" song "E too D", in which Marriott would display his considerable vocal abilities in the style of his heroes and role models, Otis Redding and Bobby Bland.

The band's early song set included R&B/soul classics such as " Jump Back", James Brown's " Please Please Please", Smokey Robinson's " You've Really Got a Hold on Me" and Ben E.

#TINY PIANO DRESSER MOD#
The group chose the name, Small Faces, because of the members' small physical stature and a "Face" was somebody special, more than just a snappy dresser, he was someone in Mod circles as a leader, someone to look up to. They rapidly progressed from rehearsals at The Ruskin Arms public house (which was owned by Winston's parents) in Manor Park, London, to ramshackle pub gigs, to semi-professional club dates. They recruited friends Kenney Jones and Jimmy Winston who switched from guitar to the organ. Lane came in with his father Stan to buy a bass guitar, struck up a conversation with Marriott, bought the bass and went back to Marriott's house after work to listen to records. Lane and Marriott met in 1965 while Marriott was working at the J60 Music Bar in Manor Park, London. Small Faces in 1965 (left to right) Marriott, Lane, Jones and Winston Meeting of Lane and Marriott (1965) They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012. Small Faces have been considered one of the early inspirations for – and even an early root of – the later Britpop movement. This five-piece line-up released only 78 in the Shade before breaking up. This line-up (dubbed Mk-II by Marriott ) recorded one album Playmates before recruiting Jimmy McCulloch. Lane left shortly thereafter, and was replaced by Rick Wills (later of Foreigner). This practice has continued on all subsequent North American reissues of the album.įollowing the breakup of both Faces and Humble Pie, the classic line-up of the band re-formed (consisting of Marriott, Lane, McLagan and Jones) during the later parts of that year after a re-release of "Itchycoo Park" became a top-ten hit. The remaining three members collaborated with Ronnie Wood, Ronnie's older brother Art Wood, Rod Stewart, and Kim Gardner, releasing four tracks under the name of Quiet Melon, after which Art Wood and Kim Gardner departed the situation and the remaining five members became Faces, except in North America, where this group's first album was credited to Small Faces. When Marriott left to form Humble Pie, Small Faces did not disband. They later evolved into one of the UK's most successful psychedelic bands until 1969. The band was one of the most acclaimed and influential mod groups of the 1960s, recording hit songs such as " Itchycoo Park", " Lazy Sunday", " All or Nothing", and " Tin Soldier", as well as their concept album Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake. The group originally consisted of Steve Marriott, Ronnie Lane, Kenney Jones and Jimmy Winston, with Ian McLagan replacing Winston as the band's keyboardist in 1966. Small Faces were an English rock band from London, founded in 1965.
