We all know that Sneakerpimps had some hits, such as 6 underground (If you've not heard it and take issue with my assumption I'd recommend you getting it), but are they still a group making tunes? i'm listening to one of their albums now again and it's really quite nice. :)

They lasted about as long as an American 'Tourist' lost wandering the streets of Falluja, Iraq.

They decided to ask Kelli Ali (Dayton) to leave the band...and from there, they disappeared from the surface of the Earth. Kelli has a great/hypnotic/sexy voice.. they replace her with some dude's vocal. Geez, wonder why people stop listening to them.

O yeah, and SKoorb, this :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: is for you.

I can't remember exactly, but I know somehow you posted in one of my threads from last year when I was putting together my IC7 Rig, and 2.4c to overclock.

Hope I can help you out down the road. Thanks man:thumbsup:

They ditched the lead singer? That would be like the dave matthews band kicking out dave matthews, or U2 kicking out Bono. Damn, what a dumb move!

Seems a long time ago, but it would have been earlier this year, if I was indeed the one to offer any advice :D

I saw them in concert in '97 with Aphex Twin. I was a really good show. It was a small venue and I got a chance to talk to a couple of the guys for a bit. All I can remember is that they were really young (and pretty hammered ;) .)

I really liked their other stuff, I'll have to check out the new album sometime :)

Dumb move? Definitely yes. But I think they did it because Kelli is getting all the attention while they (the two guys) created the band hardly get any attention at all.

That's how it goes. The lead singer gets the attention :)

They are working on a new album that is due out in Fall. Supposedly, there will be a lot of collaboration with other known musicians. I know they got David Grohl to play the drum for them and a duet with Marilyn Manson.
