context_page_description: Sneaker Pimps are a British electronic music band formed in Hartlepool, England in 1994. They are best known for their debut album, Becoming X, and its singles "6 Underground" and "Spin Spin Sugar". The band takes its name from an article the Beastie Boys published in their Grand Royal magazine about a man they hired to track down classic sneakers.
  The band was founded by electronic musician Liam Howe and guitarist Chris Corner. They later recruited Kelli Ali as lead singer, plus guitarist Joe Wilson and drummer Dave Westlake as backup musicians. After Becoming X, Ali left the band and Corner took over on vocals. Wilson and Westlake departed in 2002. After a lengthy hiatus, Howe and Corner revived the group in 2016.
