Every band gets their name from somewhere, The Doors got theirs from Aldous Huxley's 1954 book 'The Doors of Perception'. The Rolling Stones got theirs from a Muddy Waters song. Sneaker Pimps got their name after reading an article the Beastie Boys published, about a schlep they hired to track down vintage gym shoes for them.
Sneaker Pimps started in Merry Olde England, Hartlepool to be exact, in 1995. The trip hop band consists (or consisted) of Kelli Dayton, Chris Corner, Liam Howe, Joe Wilson, and David Westlake. Dayton, the lead singer was excused from the band after the band released the album 'Becoming X' in 1996.
The band is still performing and recording today with some fresh electronic tracks.
From the album 'Becoming X' here is the wonderfully slinky and smokey track 'Six Underground'.
