IAMX – CHRIS CORNER
“I think I’m at a point where I really feed off that sort of unpredictable chaotic energy that you can really only get on stage, and that kind of has built up this persona, this character, which I become at night.”

THERE aren’t many bands around who are like IAMX. Sure, there are electro-rock bands, synth-rock bands, bands with wiry frontmen and energetic live shows. But there’s something different about IAMX and its creator Chris Corner. It’s probably a combination of things – Chris’s enigmatic stage presence, the ’persona’ that he’s created when he performs with IAMX; the band’s live shows that have a sort of primal, sexual energy to them; Chris’s total dedication to the concept of IAMX and the intensity with which he dedicates himself to it. There’s the added element, too, of UK native Chris immersing himself in the Berlin music scene, finding his creative home in the laidback and deeply cultural German capital.
