'A Nod Is As Good As A Wink'

Why did they rename the band from Small Faces to Faces?

Because at 5-8 and 5-9, Ron Wood and Rod Stewart were marginally taller than the rest of the remaining band. Fun fact.

The Faces are one of my favorite bands one of the more understated 1970s rock bands. Artistically, they weren't as progressive as other bands like The Who, the Rolling Stones and others. The Faces were who they were. They had driving and deep guitar riffs that were unrelentless.

They were a rock band and they played rock songs. They were funny and goofy. They never took themselves too seriously and they wanted, more than anything, was a couch to sleep on and a gig to play that night.
