small faces

small faces were an english rock band from east london .
the group was founded in 1965 by members steve marriott , ronnie lane , kenney jones , and jimmy winston , although by 1966 winston was replaced by ian mclagan as the band 's keyboardist .
the band is remembered as one of the most acclaimed and influential mod groups of the 1960s .
with memorable hit songs such as `` itchycoo park '' , `` lazy sunday '' , `` all or nothing '' , `` tin soldier '' , and their concept album `` ogdens ' nut gone flake '' , they later evolved into one of the uk 's most successful psychedelic acts before disbanding in 1969 .
after the small faces disbanded , with marriott leaving to form humble pie , the remaining three members were joined by ronnie wood as guitarist , and rod stewart as their lead vocalist , both from the jeff beck group , and the new line-up was renamed faces , except in north america , where this group 's first album -lrb- and only their first album -rrb- was credited to small faces .
this practice has continued on all subsequent north american reissues of the album to this day .
a revived version of the original small faces existed from 1975 to 1978 .
small faces are also acknowledged as being one of the biggest original influences on the britpop movement of the 1990s .
despite the fact the band were together just four years in their original incarnation , the small faces ' music output from the mid to late sixties remains among the most acclaimed british mod and psychedelic music of that era .
