Sneaker Pimps - Post-Modern Sleaze
# ***Sneaker Pimps Biography***

***Sneaker Pimps*** are a British electronic music band formed in ***[Hartlepool](https://cutt.ly/PElPSf9)***, England in 1994. by electronic musician ***[Liam Howe](https://cutt.ly/kElPJfS)*** and guitarist ***[Chris Corner](https://cutt.ly/yElPL8z)***. They later recruited ***[Kelli Ali](https://cutt.ly/IElPBr8)*** (then known as ***Kelli Dayton***) as lead singer, plus guitarist ***[Joe Wilson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Wilson_(musician))*** and drummer ***Dave Westlake*** as backup musicians.

***Corner*** and ***Howe*** met as teenagers in the 1980s, both taking an interest in recording and studio experimentation in mixing of *beats* and *acoustic folk* sounds. They banded together under the name ***F.R.I.S.K.*** and produced the ***"Soul of Indiscretion"*** EP, an early example of what became known as *trip-hop*.

> ***[Stephen Thomas Erlewine](https://cutt.ly/oElGR7f)*** wrote that ***Sneaker Pimp’s*** debut album ***"Becoming X"*** is one of the most engaging byproducts of post-Portishead *trip-hop*. While the ***Sneaker Pimps*** don't have the doomed romanticism of ***Portishead*** or the nasty experimental tendencies of ***Tricky***, they have a cool sense of *pop* hooks and an edgier guitar attack than their predecessors.
>
> The album was very primitive, in terms of equipment and technique - the entirety of the vocals were sung inside a wardrobe in ***Liam's*** bedroom, rather than a traditional recording booth in an actual studio. With not having a drummer, even snares and kicks were sampled, by the band themselves, from their own-made collection of sounds. Sampling itself was used quite a lot, from ***[David Sylvian's](https://cutt.ly/QElHnOM)*** track ***“Let The Happiness In”***, from his 1987 album ***“Secrets Of The Beehive”***, to ***[John Barry's](https://cutt.ly/LElHUwk)*** ***James Bond*** cue ***“Golden Girl”***, from the ***“Goldfinger”***.
>
> Result was the sound that levitates in between jagged guitars and coolly detached postmodern soul rhythms.
> ***“Becoming X”*** creates an airy, urban atmosphere, and while the record begins to unravel toward the end, it is an exciting, entrancing listen.
