The Faces  Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood in The Faces Musicalbiography Home>Musical Bands>The Faces The Faces- British rock music band (founded 1969 and disbanded 1975).  The Faces were a fairly popular British rock band whose members are actually more famous for their post-Faces careers. Formed in 1969 as a blend of members from two other successful rock bands, the Small Faces (Ronnie Lane, Kenney Jones, and Ian McLagan) and the Jeff Beck Group (Rod Stewart and Ron Wood) . The Faces released four studio albums and one live album, along with five compilation albums. Video of The Faces playing "Stay With Me" Live in London, 1971 In some senses, The Faces were a rock "Super-Group," or a band made up of already well-known rockers. But after their breakup, the individual Faces actually attained greater fame, and a greater audience as they joined other groups or embarked on solo careers. Both Ron Wood and Ian McLagan went to work for the Rolling Stones, with Wood eventually becoming a member of the Stones. Kenny Jones joined the Who as a replacement for drummer Keith Moon, who died tragically. Rod Stewart, of course, went on to solo stardom and, with the possible exception of his friend, Ron Wood, is the best known of the former Faces.   Rod Steward, Ronnie Lane, Ron Wood, Kenny Jones, and Ian McLagan were The Faces The Faces and the Small Faces were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April, 2012. While Rod Stewart was unable to attend due to health concerns, The Faces did perform with Mick Huxnall of Simply Red standing in for vocals.
