All About Chemical Brothers
Everything you need to know
Five albums, four Grammy Awards, countless hit singles, and some nine million album sales later… the Chemical Brothers are set to bring their explosive new live show to Australia in March, 2008!
The sensory overload that is the Chemical Brothers live was launched at the world famous Glastonbury Festival in 2007. Their closing set left punters and media astounded at the sheer scale and epic spectacle of the Chemical’s mind blowing audio-visual assault.
“I just feel it’s a blessing to be able to do something which gets people out of their homes and experiencing something together,” says Ed. “When you play live and see a sea of people with their hands in their air, smiling, that’s what I feel most proud of: making music that is loud and powerful enough to bring people together.”
