Sneaker Pimps are a British electronic music band formed in Hartlepool, England in 1994.
The duo also worked as DJs and producers under the name Line of Flight. Howe and Corner launched Sneaker Pimps as a recording group in 1994.
The group was presented as a trio featuring Howe, Corner, and Ali; while bassist Joe Wilson and drummer Dave Westlake were added as supporting musicians. Released in 1996, Becoming X sold over one million copies.
A remix album, Becoming Remixed, followed in 1998. Howe and Corner then developed their own studio, also called Line of Flight after their earlier production work, and began sessions for the second Sneaker Pimps album.
Their second album Splinter was released in the UK on Clean Up Records in 1999, and failed to match the commercial success of Becoming X.
New songs were premiered during a 2001 European tour opening for Placebo.
Wilson and Westlake departed in 2002.
Their third album Bloodsport was released on Tommy Boy Records in 2002.
Howe and Corner also gained notice by writing and producing for other artists, including Natalie Imbruglia, and for remixing songs under the name Line of Flight. In 2002, Joe Wilson and Dave Westlake left Sneaker Pimps.
In 2003, a fourth Sneaker Pimps album was demoed but shelved.
After some additional cancelled projects, in 2006 Howe and Corner recorded some new demo tracks with an unidentified female singer that turned up on a MiniDisc found in a bar in Russia.
They have never been officially released. After several years of side projects, Howe hinted in 2015 that Sneaker Pimps may reform.
