	Sneaker Pimps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sneaker Pimps is a British Electropop band formed in Reading, England in 1995.
		Some fans feel that the songs on subsequent Sneaker Pimps albums, Splinter and Bloodsport, have lost the bubblegum feel and have gained an emotional intensity, while others enjoyed Dayton's vocals precisely because of that feel.
		Currently the band are recording material for an as-yet untitled fourth album, having shelved a number of songs previewed live during 2003, and having recruited a new, as-yet unknown, female singer.

		Sneaker Pimps is a unique exhibition featuring rare and limited-edition sneakers from all over the world.
		Beginning in Australia, the Sneaker Pimps exhibition travels next to the States in August as part of the Sprite Liquid Mix Tour, a skateboarding festival and hip-hop concert series featuring major music players such as Talib Kweli, The Roots, and N.E.R.D..
		Given the fast-growing culture of sneaker obsession, the Sneaker Pimps exhibit seems like a strong means of drawing crowds while also providing participating companies with brand exposure.

		Sneaker Pimps were there too, down the road a bit in Reading.
		With Kelli Dayton's clipped, white-soul vocals and the Pimps' sunny guitars atop lopsided loops and ambient waves -- dag, the trio was nearly Pet Sounds-ish in their dreary optimism.
		The Sneakers pimp crinkled samples and rudely snooting beats on smartly compressed Bacharachian melodies.

	THE Sneaker Pimps
		You might think the Sneaker Pimps are an indie band, but their spectral brand of guitar-laden beats would never have existed without dance music.
		The Sneakers might be carving a niche at the head of the post-Portishead breed with the spectral trip hop of '6 Underground' and the Garbage-style electro-pop of 'Spin Spin Sugar', but right now they're intent on just one thing.
		If the Sneakers are a dance band, they're one that's overcome its blind hatred of guitars and re-discovered the song-writing traditions that were vapourised by acid's big bang.

		It was felt that at this stage, that the nature of their songs would probably suit a female vocal, and after seeing Keli Dayton singing in a pub, they convinced her to join them and formed Sneaker Pimps.
		Sneaker Pimps had fallen into a genre trap and only drastic action could help them escape.
		In the summer of 2000, Sneaker Pimps parted company with One Little Indian / Clean Up, they packed a car and travelled to the centre of France to write and record material which has Chris Corner commanding the vocals - a marked difference to the standard white male indie voice.

		Gone, too, are the traces of trip-hop that made the Sneaker Pimps seem trendy in ’96, replaced by a synth-heavy sound that draws heavily from the new wave of ’80s kingpins like, well, Depeche Mode.
		The result is a solid if sometimes cheesy reminder that Gahan and company may have been ahead of their time with the proto-electronica of all those ’80s hits.
		And as if to prove that these Sneaker Pimps aren’t a one-trick pony, "M’aidez," with its strong guitar hood and driving bass line, turns out to be a glam-rocky lament about "life lived on mobile phones." The real questionable move here is the decision to keep the Sneaker Pimps name.

		SNEAKER PIMPS were formed when long term friends Chris Corner and Liam Howe spotted Kelli Dayton singing with her band The Lumeries, when they were going under the name Line of Flight.
		At first, after hearing their top twenty single Six Underground I had Sneaker Pimps down as just a second rate triphop band.
		In the hands of the Sneaker Pimps this song is given the best of treatment with its dark electronic eeriness and Kelli Dayton's vocals sound very spectacular.

		The Sneaker Pimps will probably never write another song as good as "6 Underground", the mod-rock hit from their 1996 debut BECOMING X. But aside from that track and a few others, the album itself was fairly lackluster.

		But far from being mere copycats or yet another British entry into the trip-hop scene, Sneaker Pimps carefully and creatively etch their own distinctive design on the genre.

		The U.K.-based Sneaker Pimps combine standard rock guitar parts with trip-hop beats and clear white-soul vocals, and, when strumming an acoustic guitar (as on the first single, "6 Underground"), the trio is virtually indistinguishable from Luscious Jackson.
		Long before Zero 7 and Air shook up urban CD stores with their downtempo chill, the Sneaker Pimps released "Becoming X." Unlike Zero 7 and Air, however, the Sneaker Pimps were far closer to rock than ambience.
		In fact, the Sneaker Pimps were part of the same 1990s British Invasion that brought us Oasis, Blur, Pulp, Radiohead and the like.
