It is unclear why and how Kelli left the band. Her website, Sneaker Pimps' site and miscellaneous fan sites all offer different interpretations of this, some are very biased. Also, I couldn't find any mention of the year when the band was created. I removed "formed in 1993" because some of the biographies stated that Becoming X was released several months after the band found Kelli Dayton.. which makes it somewhere in 1996, since the album was released in 1997. Yet Dayton heard demos of 6 Underground before she sang for it, which means the song was composed earlier.. It would be great if someone could clear this up :) - Jashiin
Kelli makes it pretty clear on her site that she got sacked, no? Djbell 04:02, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Format
Yo, i dont know whats going on with the format, particularly of the infobox. The picture needs to be far smaller, and there is some extraneous text at the top, though i cant identify where this is on the editable version of the article. Could someone who is better at formatting infoboxes than I am sort it out at all? I'm adding a clean-up tag until this happens... Jdcooper 18:54, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
- Seems it's ok now. I've removed the clean-up tag. Jogers 19:44, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
- Ace work, it looks really good now. While we're here, do you (or anyone else) have any idea where they come from? Jdcooper 21:07, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
- All Music Guide says that the band was formed in Reading, England [1]. Jogers 21:21, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
- Rolling Stone interviews state they are from Hartlepool, England [2]. Isamu-alva (talk) 15:14, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] POV
The 'Dayton's departure...' paragraph seems like POV to me - very much advocating the idea that Dayton leaving was a good thing. Who are these 'fans' and 'critics'? The band's commercial appeal pretty much evaporated after the vocalist switch.
Yeah, a source is definitely needed there. Greenagain 23:56, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] electropop
the first paragraph immeadiately says sneaker pimps are an electropop band- and whilst they do incorperate alot of electropop into their music, they also put in alot of trip-hop in there aswell, along with various other genres. Perhaps the word "electronic" would be a more appropriate word? i think it fairly sums up their sound without specifying genre too much. --Skellyscribbles (talk) 00:55, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
