The Small Fakers were officially launched on a chilly night in February 2007 at a central London shindig attended by fans and associates of the East End's very own fab four, the seminal, sensational Small Faces!
The buzz in the audience that night was intense - there had never been a Small Faces tribute band before, mainly because the original band were so unique and special, and had, in Steve Marriott, a lead vocalist of astonishing power, recognised as being blessed with one of the most awesome voices in rock history. Could The Small Fakers even hope to come CLOSE to replicating the sound, and the look, of the Small Faces?
Cut to the end of the night - 200 Small Faces fanatics have been nailed to the wall by the Fakers' debut performance. The band have ripped through twenty classic tracks, from Whatcha Gonna Do About It to Tin Soldier with effortless style and swagger, and the audience is almost delerious with excitement, and satisfaction. The Fakers have delivered the goods.
It’s difficult to believe but within a year of their first unadvertised gig, The Kinx had headlined theatres, supported original 60’s bands (The Fortunes, Gerry & The Pacemakers & The Move), performed on the main stages of Britain’s top tribute festivals …… and secured a recording contract.
With three albums to their name & endorsement from non other than Dave Davies himself, The Kinx quickly established themselves as England’s premier Kinks tribute act. Now, almost 10 years into their career, they can also boast having their music included in major international film releases and performing as joint headliners with such diverse original artists as Chris Farlowe, Steve Ellis, Secret Affair, The Foundations, Marmalade, Marty Wilde, The Swinging Blue Jeans, Mike D’Abo & The Merseybeats.
