(The Ultimate Boozy Good-Time Rock Band) The Faces were a legendary English rock band formed in London in 1969 from the ashes of the Small Faces. Famous for their loose, ragged, party-hard attitude, soulful rock ‘n’ roll, and incredible camaraderie, they embodied the spirit of early 1970s British rock — sweaty, fun, and full of heart. With Rod Stewart’s raspy vocals and Ronnie Wood’s gritty guitar, they became one of the era’s most beloved live acts. CLASSIC LINEUP Rod Stewar
