Sneaker Pimps
Sneaker Pimps, a British electronic music band formed in 1994, initially gained fame with their debut album, Becoming X, released in 1996. The band was founded by Chris Corner and Liam Howe, and their music is characterized by a blend of trip-hop, electronica, and alternative rock elements. The haunting vocals of Kelli Dayton (later known as Kelli Ali) on hits like "6 Underground" and "Spin Spin Sugar" helped establish Sneaker Pimps as a significant force in the late 1990s trip-hop movement. Their innovative soundscapes and emotive lyrics resonated with audiences worldwide, earning them critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base.
Following the departure of Kelli Ali in 1998, Chris Corner took over vocal duties, and the band's sound evolved, incorporating more experimental and alternative rock influences. Albums like Splinter and Bloodsport showcased their versatility and willingness to explore new musical directions. Despite going on hiatus in the early 2000s, Sneaker Pimps' influence can still be felt in the music of contemporary electronic and alternative artists. In recent years, the band has hinted at a reunion, much to the excitement of their loyal fans, who eagerly await new material from this pioneering group.
