Sneaker Pimps are a British Trip-hop band formed in Hartlepool, England in 1995(Wikipedia) and IAMX website (1989). Sneaker Pimps are best known for their first album Becoming X (1996). They took their name from an article the Beastie Boys published in their Grand Royal magazine about a man they hired to track down classic sneakers.
The band's founding members were Chris Corner and Liam Howe (both ex-DJs), who then recruited Kelli Dayton (formerly of Lumieres, now recording under the name Kelli Ali) for vocal duties. But when they started to work with thier second album, on which Corner provided the guide vocals was better suited his voice, especially in regard to the more raw, personal quality of the lyrics. Corner became the singer and
Dayton was asked to leave the group.
Atm Corner is out with his Solo thing (IAMX) more of that tomorrow.
Todays tune is an old tune from thier Becoming X and with Dayton on vocal.
