LondonChris and Liam met as teenagers in the eighties, drawn together by their love for recording and bedroom studio experimentation. Those efforts produced the "Soul of Indiscretion" E.P., an early example of what became known as trip-hop. The mix of beats and acoustic folk sounds was further explored on two more E.P.s: "F.R.I.S.K." and "World as a Cone".
The limits of instrumental music soon became a source of frustration. Songs mean more to people than head nodding beats so with an old school friend, Ian Pickering, helping with lyrics they wrote the debut album "BECOMING X". They drafted in college friends Joe, a polymath chancer, David, a reconstructed jazz drummer, and vocalist Kelli Dayton who was discovered singing in a pub in her native Birmingham.
Thus was formed Sneaker Pimps, a band united only by their mutual mistrust. "This could be a laugh," they all secretly thought to themselves.
