Small Faces were an influential British mod/psychedelic band of the 1960s, led by Steve Marriott and Ronnie Lane with Kenney Jones and Ian McLagan (who replaced original organist Jimmy Winston). The Small Faces were all genuine East End mods . They were signed to Decca records initially and enjoyed major success across Europe between 1965 and 1967 with classic singles like "All or Nothing" and "Sha-La-La-La-Lee" before moving to a new label.

The Small Faces were all genuine East End mods . They were signed to Decca records initially and enjoyed major success across Europe between 1965 and 1967 with classic singles like "All or Nothing" and "Sha-La-La-La-Lee" before moving to a new label.
By late 1967, the band had felt constricted financially & creatively by manager Don Arden (father of Sharon Osbourne), and were lured by Rolling Stones' publicist Andrew Loog Oldham into signing with his new Immediate label. They soon recorded more expansive psychedelic sounding material including hit pop tunes like "Lazy Sunday" which was included with their UK number one classic concept album Ogdens Nut Gone Flake and "Itchycoo Park" which was their only stateside charting single.
The demise of the Small Faces arrived on New Years Eve 1968, when Steve Marriott walked off stage at The Alexandra Palace in London. Marriott felt that despite the success of the group, he was still not being taken seriously as a musician. He went on to achieve major status in the U.S.A with Peter Frampton in Humble Pie. The others continued as the Faces, opting to drop the "Small" after one LP as new recruits Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood towered above their new band mates. Drummer Kenney Jones later joined The Who after the death of their drummer Keith Moon. As years went on, Marriott kept recording various lineups as Humble Pie but became somewhat of a caricature and casualty of rock excess. Tragically, Steve Marriott died in a house fire in 1991 and Ronnie Lane followed him in 1997 after a long battle with Multiple Sclerosis. Keyboardist Ian McLagan has continued to tour and record with his own band as well as with artists like Billy Bragg, The New Barbarians ( a group composed of Ian, Ron Wood, Keith Richards, Stanley Clarke, and Billy Cobham), and The Rolling Stones. According to announcements at the shows on the New Barbarians tour, the proceeds of the live gigs were going to pay Ronnie Lane's medical expenses associated with Ronnie's struggle with Multiple Sclerosis.
The Small Faces remain one of British rock's most important legacy acts, with their membership having links to so many other acts. Amongst the many bands they influenced were The Jam, Ramones, Oasis and X.
There are a number of locations around London linked to the Small Faces, many to be found in the East End where they grew up.

Little Ilford park, also located in Manor Park, inspired the track Itchycoo Park, Steve and other kids in the East End used to play in this park when they grew up.

In 1968 the Small Faces recorded a video for their track Lazy Sunday, Steve sings in his native East end accent and the video was shot in the East End using Kenney Jones parents' flat in Havering Street. The video ends with a shot of the nearby Thames.

Why did I move to the PC?
I guess it was the mods.
Or the... ah, I don't know. That thing. You know, that thing. Freedom. You see it in even Windows.
I wanted to get away from closed platforms, y'know? Those- those walled gardens. Be free for once. A PC gamer.
So, I built a nice rig, installed Steam, bought a few games and thought I'd be a streamer like all the other streamers. And my friends? They'd be like the friends in these streams, we'd game together, install mods, but... well, you know how it is.
Beloved Scene
Porque eu mudei pra cá?
Eu acho que foi pelo clima...
ou a...
Ah,não sei,aquela magia!
Você vê ela nos filmes.
Eu queria me aposentar do que eu tava fazendo,sabia?
Daquilo,daquele tipo de trabalho.
Ser um cara bonzinho. Um homem de família.
Então,comprei uma casa grande.
Vim pra cá,coloquei os pés pra cima e pensei que seria um pai como todos os outros pais.
Meus filhos seriam os filhos que eu via na TV,jogando bola,sentados ao Sol...
Mas...você sabe como tudo funciona.

"This song is often said to have a very British feel to it."
Well now it has a very West Coast feel to it

It's incredibly Cockney Sounding,least to my ears.

I always think of LA when I hear this song.

I picture a typical day of cool weather and flashes of Carnaby Street

Why did I come here?
I guess it was because The Small Faces were musical geniuses that deserves far more recognition.
