No offence Kenny, loved you with Tarby and Alf Garnett. [1] They were lucky, Loog Oldham and Epstein never lumped them with Kenny Lynch penned tracks that they hated.

I went to one of his shows in Hollywood, 1997 I think, maybe Pantages Theater, one of the H'Wood theaters. Anyway, I wasn't prepared for the Mods scene. I had no idea it existed in Los Angeles in the mid-90s. Kids drove into town on scooters (from who knows where, the Valley?) wearing the long coats, and Mod suits, and haircuts. Wasn't hip to that scene at all (being 10 years older than those kids at the time) Never saw anything like it. speaking of Weller, and Mods.

Ronnie Lane, Marriott, Ian McLagan, Kenney Jones - pretty good lineup, if you ask me.

Pete and the boys were more Rockers than Mods, in Quadrophenia parlance. This is the stuff that influenced Weller & the Jam, for sure.

This is not their best work, but it has a really appealing energy. They were *the* mod band in England, even more so than The Who. They never made it in the US, except of course after Steve Marriott left and they replaced him with Stewart & Wood and became The Faces. [1] No way, man, The Small Faces were great.
