Faces (band): Difference between revisions

The members have had varied post-band careers. Rod Stewart's solo career continues to be extremely successful. Ron Wood joined the Rolling Stones and later became a full member with the departure of [[Mick Taylor]]. He remains a member of The Stones to this day and enjoys a parallel career as a portrait artist. Within months of leaving the band in 1973, Ronnie Lane formed Slim Chance and immediately scored a UK hit single with "How Come?" but this early success was soon compromised by a subsequent self-organised UK tour that ended in financial disaster. Nonetheless, three Slim Chance albums followed on Island Records between 1974 and 76, and in 1977 he also worked on ''[[Rough Mix]]''.<ref name="Lane Discogs">{{cite web |url=http://www.discogs.com/Pete-Townshend--Ronnie-Lane-Rough-Mix/master/170673 |title=Pete Townshend & Ronnie Lane - Rough Mix |year=1977 |publisher=Discogs|access-date=2015-09-05 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151016223418/http://www.discogs.com/Pete-Townshend--Ronnie-Lane-Rough-Mix/master/170673 |archive-date=16 October 2015}}</ref> a joint album with [[the Who|Who]] guitarist [[Pete Townshend]].
