Sneaker Pimps
are a trip-hop trio formed in Reading, England, in 1995, following the success of
Portishead
's
Dummy
and
Tricky
's
Maxinquaye
. Borrowing heavily from
Portishead
and
Massive Attack
,
Sneaker Pimps
pursued a trancelike but edgy sound, highlighted by
Kelli Dayton
's soulful vocals. While
Dayton
was the focal point,
Chris Corner
(guitar) and
Liam Howe
(keyboards) are the band's leaders, writing all of the songs and producing the records.
Howe
and
Corner
had been playing in bands since the early '90s,
to no success. After seeing
Dayton
sing with a pub band in 1995, they convinced her to join the fledgling
Sneaker Pimps
, who had taken their name from an article
the Beastie Boys
published in their Grand Royale magazine about a man they hired to track down classic sneakers.
Sneaker Pimps
released their first single,
"Tesko Suicide,"
in May of 1996, and it was greeted with positive reviews in the U.K. music press.
Becoming X
, the group's debut, was released in August and became a critical success, with Q magazine naming it one of the best albums of the year. However, the band failed to make an impact on the pop charts in the U.K. A remix album followed in early 1998, but by the time of the follow-up
Splinter
,
Dayton
had left the group; most of the vocals were taken by
Corner
. Though
Splinter
wasn't released in America, 2002's
Bloodsport
earned a release on Tommy Boy. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
