IAMX

Some musicians are meant to be heard but not seen - merely an auditory experience and nothing more. IAMX, on the other hand, isn’t merely a band... it's an event - a full-on aural and visual attack with the dynamic and inimitable English musician and songwriter Chris Corner (of Sneaker Pimps) leading the charge.
