Iamx Tickets

IAM{X} tickets are your passes to see Chris Corner and his live band perform in a venue near you. Corner is a famed artist who started IAM{X} as a solo music project in 2006. Before that he had been working in mainstream music for a band called Sneakers Pimp. While writing songs for the band's debut album, the artist felt the need to push against trends in the industry. Soon after he took own route of discovery.

Corner started this project with originality as the key thing. His focus brought forth a fresh sound of synth pop with hints of dark cabaret. More importantly, his songs had alternative lyrics talking about issues of the youth, religion, beliefs, life, death, sexuality and gender bending. IAM{X} has five wonderful studio albums on its portfolio. These are independently releases written, mixed and produced by Corner.

Listening to Corner's work means listening to a wide range of influences from electronic rock to burlesque. Corner's strong vocals have mainly helped him in making great impressionable music. He has also used electronic programming as well as beats to create the signature sound of his project. His music is simply loved and played in clubbing zones all over Europe and North America.

The live side of the act is equally interesting; here Corner not only plays stuff from his albums but also work under production. For fans such teasers and trailers are a great attraction. On stage the artist transforms himself and his music into highly energetic acts. These acts have a huge visual element that makes performances look and sound like a theatrical. Everything on stage from the outfits to body painting, stage/set design, concert concept and even props are made by Corner and the live band. The visual art bit of the project's live shows is also a part of its music videos.

The visual side of the project has faced some hard criticism from media and the industry. The content and visuals have been tagged as explicit and disturbing. Despite the pressure, they remain a regular feature of concerts and videos and refuse to change. According to Corner lyrics in a song talk about a whole lot of things; visual art links them up, makes them easy for everyone to understand. This is an effort appreciated by fans who fully enjoy IAM{X}'s sound and picture.

The projects' profile begins with Kiss + Swallow, the first album created by Corner. Most of the songs on this album were written when Sneaker Pimps were working on their fourth album. This was the time when Corner decided to keep them for his project. The album was a mediocre success, but Corner went live to support it on a tour across Europe all the way to the US. The success of the tour in the US called for the release of Kiss + Swallow in the US. The album was released there in 2007 and featured a remix of the title song and a rare song titled "Polaroids".

The Alternative was the second effort by Corner. This album had four versions each designed for especially for its area of release. Most of the tracks featured on it were played alternately on each version. After the European release the album the lineup changed; it took some time for Corner to find the right members for the live band. Once the lineup was in place the project's first live effort, (recorded at Polskie Radio Program III) came out. Live in Warsaw became one of the band's best loved album.

In 2009 Kingdom of Welcome Addiction was released. It was a very dark and heavy album featuring the hit gothic inspired song "Think of England". A little fix in the lineup of the band was needed before Corner released Dogmatic Infidel Comedown OK. After the fix, the album featuring a number of remixes and re-mastered version of the third album was released in 2010.

In 2011 Volatile Times hit stands, it went to slot#68 of the German Media Control Charts. The single "Fire and Whispers" led to two European tours after which were big hits. In 2013, the project' latest piece, The Unified Field hit stands. This act will be supporting this album on the IAM{X} on tour 2013. IAM{X} tickets are a rage among music lovers as the band will be visiting the US after a long time. They are selling very fast so it is advised to make your reservations in advance.
