The Chemical Brothers

The English duo The Chemical Brothers, Tom Rowlands and Ed consisting of Simons, has become popular in the late 1990s as a representative of Big Beat.

Band History

Initially, Rowlands and Simon called after a famous U.S. duo The Dust Brothers. With a growing popularity in 1995 Rowlands and Simon changed the band name after they were threatened with legal action.

The Chemical Brothers are together with Fatboy Slim, The Prodigy and The Crystal Method as pioneers of the big beat. With Setting Sun The Chemical Brothers in 1996 for the first time reached the top of the British charts. The international breakthrough came in 1997 with the Single Block Rockin ' Beats. 2004 My Elastic Eye was used in the movie The Butterfly Effect. My biggest ever hit Galvanize is from the album Push the Button by 2005. Single managed to Europe to enter the top 10 ( among other number one in Greece) and was able to keep it there for weeks. Shake Break Bounce from the same album can be heard in commercials for Ford S -MAX (2nd half of 2006). Also Do it Again was used for advertising, 2009/2010 for the perfume " One Million " by Paco Rabanne.

The Chemical Brothers were also spectacular, some award-winning music videos, especially Star Guitar, Hey Boy, Hey Girl, The Test, Let forever be or Believe on.
